I'm going to call this Pitch Black 2, since it seems closer to the first movie than to the Chronicles. Anyway, can't wait for some Riddickulously over the top shenanigans.
Why do you think Chronicles is so bad?I really liked Pitch Black... and really hated Chronicles of Riddick. I can appreciate that this is going in the direction of the former rather than the latter, but I'm afraid they'll stick too close to the formula.
Still, can't be any worse than Chronicles, right?
Sorry, we got rid of dick.Came for the dick.
Why do you think Chronicles is so bad?
I get what you mean. I loved that he was a bad guy. I'm guessing Chronicles would have been better as a standalone movie rather than a sequel. At least it had a sick last fight.I had a lot of problems with the movie, but I think my biggest was that it just wasn't Riddick. The whole draw of the first movie is that Riddick is a bad guy, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. He's as much of a monster as the creatures hunting them. That's what makes the whole film work, and that's what makes the conflict interesting. Sure, he finds some humanity by the film's end, but his development is minimal at best.
Then the second film comes around and Riddick is just a grizzled anti-hero. There's no threat or danger with him whatsoever. Not only that, everything revolves around him now. He's not just a wanted, dangerous criminal - he's the chosen one! The last of a dead race! And he has to save the universe from the evil-BDSMmpire! Also there's elemental beings now! Because? It's tone is completely, radically off.
Chronicles trades everything that made Pitch Black work for bad ideas. It feels less like they made a coherent followup and more like they just filmed Vin Diesel's personal fan fic.
this movie is for 12 year old to watch.
