Anyone going to see this flick? I think it looks pretty cool... way better than Pitch Black... |
I just saw Pitch Black last night, I thought it was pretty cool... Can't WAIT for the new one to come out. The DVD came with a free ticket to see the new movie in theaters; so I kinda gotta see it.. |

I think Riddick looks pretty sweet personally. Only one problem is that Vin Diesel is in it. I don't think he's the greatest actor although he was in Saving Private Ryan and that was good. To me Riddick kind of reminds me of the Dune movies. Is this a take off from that? |
In the original script, the woman was supposed to live and Riddick was supposed to be the one killed. The studio changed it because they realized that Vin Diesel had better box office potential for a sequel so they killed off the no name woman actor instead. |
Seriously? I thought for sure this was meant to take place chronologially before the events of Pitch Black. Shows how little I know. |
Yeah, it would be nice if they would make movies that don't follow such predictable formulas... Swordfish was a little like that but it tried to hard. Still a decent movie although I think John Travolta is a serious overactor in that one. Sci-fi movies seem to be a little more notorious for being predictable... |

Pitch Black was good, I hope the new one is better than thae last two pieces of trash he's been in. I wonder how he new it was a "cop issue Beretta" anyway? (XXX) And "double clutching"? Shit, double clutch during a drag race and you're HISTORY.(the Stupid and the Worse) Hope they've done away with the useless dialogue.

| Well, I watched Pitch Black last night on Sci-Fi and thought it was just ok. The new one coming out looks good though...at least from the previews. It looks like a completely different movie than Pitch Black. I didn't hav etime to watch the making of Riddick special after Pitch Black was over last night though. I don't think I'll pay $8 to go see it though. I'll wait for it on video. |

Probably been covered already... but I started this thread before the movie so it's not technically a dupe. I saw it last week and was pleasantly surprised how cool it was. I'd probably even see it again. I love that trailing effect they use (kind of like the Matrix bullet dodge effect). I think they pussified him a little by making him like that girl... but I guess everyone has moments of weakness. They kind of ended it like the Conan movies where he's sitting on the throne with an ending line like, "... but that's a story for another time..." leaving it wide open for a sequel. The effects, costumes, scenerey and all that were awesome in this movie. The detail they put into everything was incredible. Anyone else see it? |
Saw it too last weekend, thought it was pretty good.
I'd have to disagree with ya there, the way the other survivor guy was talking, and the way the girl acted in Pitch Black, it sounded like she looked at him (Riddick) as something of an older brother figure, so I kind of expected him to have at least some small feelings for her. She was basically like a younger sister for him. |
| I've seen both. Chronicles is a damned entertaining flick. Good fight scenes. Good dialogue. Chronicles is 10 times the movie Pitch Black is. Ending is clever, one of the best I've seen in a long time. He must have "grown" since the first movie since his ass-kicking ability grew exponentially from Pitch Black. In fact, he had a bit of "super-human" about him. |
