Claudio Carvalho "Riddick" is an action sci-fi movie with the return of Riddick. The story is entertaining and simple with top-notch special effects. Riddick is left alone in an arid planet with predators. His only way out is activating an emergency beacon that alerts two groups of mercenaries that land on the planet with their spaceships to chase Riddick. There are many funny moments and quotes and for fans it is worthwhile watching. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Riddick 3"

Floated2 Riddick is the supposed sequel to The Chronicles of Riddick (2004), recurring writer-director David Twohy and star Vin Diesel get back to basics with Riddick, all but ignoring the events of Chronicles to make the film much more in the spirit of the original Riddick adventure, the low budget Pitch Black (2000). But maybe too much in that spirit, as the new movie at times plays almost like a remake of the earlier one.Similar to Pitch Black, Riddick tells a lean, self-contained story aside from a couple references to characters and events of the previous films — characters and events that. This third film of the franchise is quite easily better than Chronicles as it is due to its R-rating and it feels more authentic and less cartoonish. Though Chronicles was rated PG-13 it made the most from the box office. At times, this film feels quite off and boring and most of the scenes are the ones with Vin Diesel off screen, as they spend a lot of time in the second half building the side characters. Problem is, we mostly do not care for them. Riddick is a decent action film but nothing too special .

pjbhaumik A classic Vin Disel and a lonely planet teeming with strange predators challenge the will of bounty hunters and a forelorn battle commander. There is non-stop action from chase scenes to hand to hand combat. The alienated Riddick learns to domesticate the wild planet and master the terrain. Living alone and then suddenly finding threats from his dark past drive the ferocious Riddick into a desperate plight to escape and leave the opposition in the dust. Integrity, chivalry, and readiness are all subject to the strains of skirmishes. Riddick's time on the planet allows him to set traps just long enough for the irony of his desired apprehension to climax and convert some of his enemies into friends.

Squrpleboy I think it really says something about your lack of ability as an actor (or your unrestrained ego, perhaps) when you allow yourself to star in a film where you are the lead character and yet everyone else is soooo much better than you in their roles. This, sadly, was my experience in watching Vin Diesel in RIDDICK.The movie had great production values and very believable special effects, realistic CGI, the story was a bit basic but entertaining enough, and the actors surrounding Diesel give their best with what they given throughout (the stand-out being Matt Nable, as Johns, who was excellent even). Then there was Vin Diesel. For one, I had to put on the English subtitles just to understand what mush was coming out of his mouth (his narration is hideous, he actually says "nother" in place of "other" and the preceding word did not end in an "N"), he emotes throughout with virtually the same lack of expression one might order a pizza over the phone with, and quite frankly, his head just looks like a potato. I know that sounds mean and nit-picky but every time he came on screen I just couldn't stop thinking that he looks like someone glued a Mr. PotatoHead on a muscular body. It was hard to suspend your disbelief when you add it all up. I might have even been prone to forgiveness if he was a least laughable (like anything with Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson in it is), but it was just annoying.If you like scary aliens, spaceships, mercenaries, tech and other-worldly adventures this movie might be right up your alley, those parts of RIDDICK were decent, even good. But if you expect great, or even good quality, believable acting from the main and (what should be) most important character in the film I'd suggest skipping this one with a vengeance.If Mr. Potatohead and Star Trek had a baby, it would have been RIDDICK.
