r96 s 'Riddick' isn't a movie that I hold much praise for, yet it somehow did end up working for me. I was sensing light boredom for the majority, though it picks up enough by the conclusion that I'd say I'm cool with it. I could easily be rating it a notch lower, mind. This is probably Vin Diesel's weakeast showing thus far as Riddick, though I still find the main man to be a solid watch; I like him as an actor, so little surprise I guess. Katee Sackhoff's Dahl is actually the one I enjoyed most, even if they annoyingly undermine the character at the end. The rest of the cast aren't worthy of much note, though Matt Nable is alright and I'm always happy to see Dave Bautista involved in a project; this is, in fact, the fourth (unconnected) film I've watched this year that he has popped up in, more the merrier! Effects-wise, this mostly felt like a downgrade from the previous flick; despite the nine-year jump. The doglike creature, as cute a sidekick as it made, looks quite lousy. The feeling of being bored stemmed from the pacing, which did initially feel debilitating but it overcomes it. 'Riddick: Furya' is set to be the fourth installment of this series. That could actually be good, on paper it sounds interesting at least. We'll see! Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/15/25 Full Review Rosana B Assim como seus antecessores não me atrai, num futuro distópico sujo e empoeirado com homens sendo homens, a ambientação é interessante, gráficos perfeitos, e os bichinhos monstregoides são fofos, originais e bem construídos, o roteiro poderia ser mais cativante, o desenvolvimento não atrai, exceto os já apaixonados pela franquia, o que não é o meu caso… Boa ambientações, efeitos e bichinhos, de resto apenas regular… Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/25 Full Review Blu B I like it better than Chronicles and is defintely more in line with the first, but that's still not saying much. Oddly enough even though I like this more, it feels more forgettable in a way than Chronicles. Everything is just alright. The strongest part is the first 20 minutes showing Riddick suriviving on the desolate planet but it just becomes very forgettable when the mercenary gang lands and becomes the main focus. They all pretty much just blend in aside from a psycho and a girl being the only standout traits. Riddick just straight disappears in the middle and it just ins't as interesting. In a way you could cut the opening with Riddick and just start with the space marines and not much is lost. It also sometimes gets so dark in the second half you can barely see it and the CGI is terrible overall. Things this does get right is it trades mindless fast paced action for a slow burn survival story at first. Than becomes like the space marines in Aliens investigating and becomes more of a horror surival like the first one. It tries to merge these 3 aspects together and it isn't the most cohesive thing in the world but it works enough. It still feels like 3 completely different films though. The slow burn, immersion in the world, and the horror elements are positives and defintely the strong sits here. Riddick is alright but doesn't really have much character devlopment. In a sense this is sort of like a repeat of the first in certain aspects. While more in line it still isn't anything special. Most people could skip this. Just stick to the first. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/02/24 Full Review Sean S I know this movie isn't perfect, but it's unpredictable and action packed, I re-watch it every couple years! It's got a bit of everything, he befriends a dog, makes you want to protect the woman, revenge on the bad guys, battles monsters, etc. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/20/24 Full Review alan g Fitting end to the trilogy. Wish there was more. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Tina K Really cool other-world set, creatures and costume design. I appreciate that VD talks slowly and carefully otherwise I wouldn't understand what he's saying with his Jersey? accent.
