Diesel gives a one-note performance that may be somewhat fitting of his dark and dreary character, but nonetheless grows tiresome rather quickly...

Consensus: As an action movie, Riddick offers some thrills, but as a sequel to Pitch Black, it's a disappointment.

Reviews for Chronicles of Riddick
...as a proletarian concept artist, David Twohy proves that he has both the imagination and the skill to build exciting worlds for his characters to interact in.
07/26/04
Some may call David Twohy’s film pretentious; the target market for this boys’ own adventure may not actually care. . . But for me, give me a good story any day.
07/24/04
In throwing out wit and intelligence for mindless action, Twohy ends up with a noisy, chaotic, over-serious mess.
07/19/04
A escala grandiosa dos cenários e das batalhas serve apenas para esconder a fragilidade do argumento.
07/16/04
Should have been called "The Chronicles of Arthritic." The movie is so lame, it needs a cane by the time it lumbers into its final act.
07/06/04
I really can’t call any of the acting good or bad. It was what it was. Vin Deisel threw around some funny one-liners. Everyone else just kinda hung out.
07/03/04
The Chronicles of Riddick may not be a fully intentional success. But it travels in uncharted waters, and it's a garish, nutty, virtuoso entertainment just the same.
06/24/04
Riddick's screwed up vision drives the original film, but Chronicles is messier and less compelling,
06/23/04
...a turbo-charged, sci-fi action flick with Vin Diesel in kick *** anti-hero form ...
06/21/04
In Pitch Black (Vin Diesel) made Riddick his own; in Chronicles, nothing has changed but the budget.
06/20/04
The ending leaves open the possibility of a sequel. I don't care one way or another if they make it.
06/20/04
How can so much action be, well, boring?

Utterly ponderous and as clunky as a crater rock. Twohy forgot to inject his Diesel-fueled narrative with the spunk and drive that made his first installment so palatable
06/19/04
Boasting just enough action and wisecracks for summer movie fare, the overall experience is certainly nothing that anyone need bother to write any chronicles about
06/18/04
Vin Diesel, the star as Neanderthal, returns for a sequel to 2000's Pitch Black.
06/18/04
Vin Diesel is perfect as the marquee hero, breathing new life into the muscle-head antihero and looking great in leather chain-links or Necromonger plate-mail
06/18/04
[Judi Dench and Vin Diesel] appear in the same movie, and indeed, perform scenes together. Unfortunately, the film is so bad that even this novelty loses its appeal.
