Chronicles of Riddick

[Mockery]

So who's already seen it? If so, what'd you think?

"Vin Diesel makes you appreciate Schwarzenegger. When Arnold rattled off cheesy one-liners, it was effective. When Vin Diesel rattles off one-liners, it’s like watching the high school quarterback unsuccessfully try out for the school play in a bad after-school special."

Saw that in a review and it pretty much sums up my thoughts about Vin perfectly haha.

[AChimp]

The review in today's newspaper here called Riddick "Space Conan."

[sspadowsky]

DON'T YOU MAKE FUN OF VIN. HE LIVES HIS LIFE A QUARTER-MILE AT A TIME.

[Emu]

I'm going to see it tonight with one of my friends who thinks Pitch Black should be a cult flick.

[Jixby Phillips]

they were previewing it last night at my theater, I could have stayed to watch. But I opted not to.

[ItalianStereotype]

I actually liked this movie. there were some potentially intriguing storylines that were never fully explored and Riddick is a bit underdeveloped for an "evil" character, but overall I found it to be an excellent action movie with an interesting premise.

of course, my view is probably a little biased since I fell in love with Escape from Butcher Bay.

[AChimp]

Yeah, I just got back from seeing it. It's actually pretty damn good for an action movie. It doesn't try to be good, and that's where it succeeds; the movie focuses on action rather than dialogue to move the plot along.

Plus Thandie Newton and Alexa Davalos are hot.

The end of the movie is also awesome.

[ItalianStereotype]

yeah, the end is just about the last thing I expected...though in retrospect, I suppose I should have seen it coming.

[Esuohlim]

I got bored and my mind wandered a lot so I can only recall maybe seven or eight things that happened in the movie. The friends I saw it with all said it was good, but I honestly don't know if it was good or bad. To me it was just...there.

[AChimp]

The look on Vin's face at the end is priceless, too.

He's all like, "WTF."

[Royal Tenenbaum]

YOU SAW IT!? Oh man, seriously, come on. I mean, come on.

[AChimp]

Yep. It's not artsy enough for you, though, and it doesn't span time. There's no sissy boy slap party in it, either, which I'm sure is a big disappointment.

[Emu]

My friends who saw Pitch Black thought it sucked, but my friends and I who hadn't thought it was pretty good. I liked the heat-seeking visor guys.

[ArrowX]

It was like the Scorpion King IN THE FURURE

[ItalianStereotype]

wow. could you at least TRY not to suck?

[AChimp]

I doubt it. ArrowX seems to be happy with the fact that he's the biggest queer on I-Mockery.

Riddick would soooo leave him behind.

[Royal Tenenbaum]

Sissy Boy Slap Party is actually good, so, of course it's not in Riddick. I don't waste my time with that shit, and I'm saddened by the fact anyone actually would.

[AChimp]

Sissy Boy Slap Party is a steaming pile of shit, and so is Guy Madden.

[ArrowX]

So is the chronicles of riddic

[liquidstatik]

The movie was pretty good... i dont care for vin, though. It seems like everything he says he makes it sound corney. :/

[soundtest]

i saw it tonight and didn't think it was too bad. not great by any means, but entertaining for what it was. and i totally agree about the ending - i didn't expect it at all but should have seen it coming a mile away.

[huond]

i never even heard of this movie outside of this thread

[AChimp]

I have changed my mind about this movie.

It is quite possibly one of the best movies ever made.

[GADZOOKS]

More Like The Chronicals of Riddculousness. This Taudry affair of over used scie fiction fo paws are driving me up a WALL. It is just a over budget mini-phenomean that keeps you in the back end of your seat.

I give it 2 out of 5 Royal Tennenbaums.

[subterfuge]

I dug it.

It was inconsistent, and they didn't follow through with any explanations of the underverse, but whatever. I go to watch vin's shiny head and action and sci fi violence. I don't go for plot.

I just wanted to know why the necro master was half dead and why did he get all the cool powers?
