THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK* (Theatrical Release USA 2004)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì

The Chronicles of Riddick—almost works as a cult classic—has Vin Diesel and his supporting cast working at the same level of quality as in the first film in the series.  The movie is what it is…somewhat entertaining…and allows a continuation of Riddick’s story.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe? 

Maybe. It is what it is…not great but the kind of a film that one goes to see because it is ‘kind of entertaining’ despite its lame presentation, storyline, and general ‘bad-ness’ or maybe just to see Vin Diesel.
