# The Chronicles of Riddick
(I helped save b3ta! Captain Howdy, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 14:58, archived)
# Dat's the one
Felt like a pantomime to be honest.

# I've only ever seen the Director's Cut, and have a strange fondness for it.
I've heard the telly version is shit, though..

# Probably where I'm going wrong then
The part when Judi Dench goes on about Riddick being the space goth's weakness and floating around over a hole in the floor really makes me think "Really?"

# No, unfortunately all of that still makes it into the Director's Cut.

# If you want 2 hours of stuff blowing up & really like the idea of Necromongers, then this is the flick for you..

# It's definately not as good as Pitch Black
Every time I see it I think they could have done better. Take out the Riddick-is-the-chosen-one prophecy and good vs evil junk and it would have been a lot better.

# Indeed
but still, it has ships that look like they're powered by the raw angst of self-harming middle-class teenagers.

I think the plot would have been alot better if it had just been "Necromongers piss Riddick off by kidnapping Jack" and had kept the idea of making Riddick semi-likeable out of it.

# It's a reasonably fun action romp with evil space goths
but it's got sod all in common with Pitch Black (it's practically a different character he's playing too. They made him semi-good-ish and last of an alien race)
