Reviews


50
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
This is a movie so devoted to metal that it couldn't care less about the flesh it destroys.
50
TV Guide Magazine - Maitland McDonagh
Where "Pitch Black" relied on shadowy threats and sharply drawn relationships between a small group of stranded victims-to-be, Twohy's bloated space opera is an eye-popping three-ring circus of fabulously freaky costumes, over-ripe declaiming and computer-generated spectacle.
50
Chicago Tribune - Mark Caro
Despite being positioned as a mold-breaker, Riddick now blends in with a sizable crowd of reluctant loner cinematic heroes, just as the movie fails to convince that it's going where no movie has gone before.
40
The New York Times - Stephen Holden
The action is so frenetic that the ominous mood isn't allowed to penetrate, and this time the human factor is all but erased.
38
Philadelphia Inquirer - Steven Rea
An overblown hodgepodge of volcano-baked desertscapes, Egyptoid-gone-baroque architecture, and gladiator-geared storm troopers with goofy headpieces, The Chronicles of Riddick bears no resemblance to the movie that spawned its namesake.
