Reviews for Chronicles of Riddick
Top CriticA preening outer-space costume drama staged as a backdrop for its leading man’s muscles.
06/15/04
Top CriticThe Chronicles Of Riddick is never dull, but it's far, far, far too pretentious.
06/14/04
Top CriticI enjoyed it immensely, but not because it was any damn good.
06/12/04
Top CriticThe muddy, convoluted story revolves around the star's cool-guy poses and one-liners.
06/11/04
Top CriticThe Chronicles of Riddick doesn't hark back merely to the classic horror or science fiction canon but to nearly every single cinematic genre in the book, from westerns to film noir to sword-and-sandal epics.
06/11/04
Top CriticAn inane film rendered sometimes laughable by an atmosphere of dead-serious reverence.
06/11/04
Top CriticA static-filled space opera that is less thrill-a-minute than thrill-an-hour.
06/11/04
Top CriticWriter-director David Twohy has a much bigger budget than he did for Pitch Black, but he makes the all-too-common mistake of believing money can substitute for imagination.
06/11/04
Top CriticDespite a few goofily entertaining moments that are so over the top they are instant camp, the movie suggests that the hero's name derives from 'ridiculous.'
06/11/04
Top CriticSprawling and ponderous.
06/11/04
Top CriticHyper-assaultive.
06/11/04
Top CriticAside from its dark vision and operatic flourishes, Chronicles of Riddick doesn't have much else going for it.
06/11/04
Top CriticA big, cheesy sci-fi flick tailor-made for a young male audience looking for things that go boom.
06/11/04
Top CriticAn exercise in computer-generated effects.
06/11/04
Top CriticA hodgepodge of Lord of the Rings, Starship Troopers, and the more recent Star Wars films.
06/11/04
Top CriticThe script is terrible -- a confounding mish-mash of action-thriller chases, sci-fi travelogue and phony political intrigue.
06/11/04
Top CriticThe Chronicles of Riddick may not quite gain entry to the hallowed pantheon of interstellar cheese of a Battlefield Earth, but it's not far behind.
06/10/04
Top CriticThe movie is less than two hours but feels three times as long.
06/10/04
Top CriticBears no resemblance to the movie that spawned its namesake.
