Question The Chronicles of Riddick

Keep seeing trailers for this, looks interesting if a bit cheesy

Anyone seen this on a dodgy DVD yet? is it any good?

Does it have any connection to Pitch Black? That was a good film.

It's out in Portugal. Son saw it and said it's OK, but he rarely dislikes any action movie, so that's not much of a reference

heard it reviewed on radio 1 this morning and he said it was absolutely cr@p although I always seem to like films the critics slate so I'll probably watch it.

I too also thought it was a prequel

Pitch black was good.

This film is awful.

It's very mich like League of extraordainary gents - in that it looks very pretty, but the story & acting are crap.

Flim goes like this:

Very pretty cinamatic shots
1 min talking
2 mins fighting
Very pretty cinamatic shots
1 min talking
2 mins fighting

over and over again.

I don't recall there being a space sciene of any relevence.

Just a bad film.

That's a shame

Some of the clips I've seen do look a bit over the top.

It’s one of those fantasy, non-stop-action, good prevails over evil, spaceship, Hollywood crap type of films….I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Well despite some of the =ve comments I'm still gonna go see it

The critics said that Starsky and Hutch was a very funny film If I'd have gone to see that at the cinema I would have walked....shocking and complete waste of 2 hours of my life!
