He's spent the bulk of his career hiding in franchises, hypermasculinizing himself. We can live with this. But this new movie makes you wonder whether Diesel can. Jan 6, 2014 | Full Review…

A vibrant stylistic mishmash that works brilliantly in chunks but is ultimately too scattered to sustain any cohesion. Sep 12, 2013 | Full Review…

Riddick, an alternately kick-ass and clumsy piece of sci-fi claptrap that puts its empty head down and gets the job done. Sep 6, 2013 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Fans of lean, mean, testosterone-steeped sci-fi action are likely to find Riddick kind of a blast, however -- even though it offers few surprises. Sep 6, 2013 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

The movie's cheap but has a sense of humor, and it's smart enough to let Riddick just get back to being a badass. Sep 6, 2013 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

To its credit, "Riddick" never takes itself too seriously, but it doesn't quite delve into full-fledged camp mode. Instead it is a film that sort of straddles the center of the mediocre line. Apr 9, 2019 | Full Review…

Riddick is one of those movies that, once you watch it, is destined to likely get mixed up in most people's minds with a lot of other movies that are sort of like it. However, for the time that it's onscreen, it's diverting enough to merit a watch. Jan 24, 2019 | Rating: B- | Full Review…

Basically, Riddick strays and strains while never serving up a throbbing storyline to justify why the audience wants to reacquaint themselves with the pumped-up planetary bad boy...get ready for this...utter Riddick-ulousness. Nov 16, 2018 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

The on-going involvement of writer/director David Twohy is evident in the continuity of the story over more than a decade since Riddick's introduction in 2000. Oct 26, 2018 | Full Review…

Not just a pitiful example of 'churn 'em out' genre cinema, but is also perhaps set to be the most chauvinistic, sexist movie of the year. Aug 23, 2018 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…
