Can't wait to see what Twohy comes up with. I liked both movies equally but it should be interesting if he goes back to the character-centric Pitch Black style.

Pitch Black was bad ass, I forgot the name of the 2nd movie but it too was bad ass.

Can not wait for the 3rd!

 

[guyver01]

I forgot the name of the 2nd movie

seriously?

the 2nd movie was called "chronicles of riddick"

Ah, that was it!

 

[GTaudiophile]

Was CoR any good?

 

[dbk]

solid

 

[Joemonkey]

I like the premise but would prefer a prequel, I want to know the background of the Furions and what/how their race was made extinct

 

[ProfJohn]

Pitch Black was 'bad ass'?? More like just plain "bad"

There were just too many stupid things done by the characters. Plus the whole concept was stupid too.

The only thing good about it was the fact that I got it free with my HD DVD player

 

[Joemonkey]

Was CoR any good?

It was honestly all over the place plot wise, too many different locations and different people/races/elementals/psychics to really get into it, but the ending made it all worth it. The chick you wanted to win died, and Riddick got to keep what he killed

"i'll kill you with this teacup" will forever be awesome

 

[destrekor]

excellent.

Will be interesting based on the premise. I'd like to see another movie in the same light as Pitch Black, and I also would like another like Chronicles. The story's universe is just so grand, it's begging for me detail. A prequel with the universe in mind would be awesome.

Was CoR any good?

not really.

Riddick is a reincarnation of a extinct people that can channel their energy thru him?! WTF did this come from?

And the ending also sucked.

his char was nothing like the one in Pitch Black.

The Riddick anime was much better than CoR

well he has super evil-alien-detecting capabilities. Surely that's related to his other awesome abilities.

He's not a reincarnation.

Riddick was born a Furyan... born on Furya... in fact, he was an Alpha Furyan, one of the "best of the best" if you will.

However i dont know if his "wrath of the furya" power (where he emits the shockwave) was a power... or concious or subconcious. He only does it once, and that was after he was shot.

As for where it came from... there's a scene in the Director's cut where the surgeon who gave him his glowing eyes, puts her hand on his chest, burns him, and says "this mark carries the anger of an entire race... but it's going to hurt". "

Chronicles of Riddick was such an astonishingly terrible movie that Riddick 3 doesn't exactly excite me.

From the article:

Dates are being worked out for "Riddick" so as not to overlap with Universal's fifth installment of "Fast and Furious," which will shoot sometime this year with Diesel onboard to star and produce.

oh noes.

CoR wasn't good, but it was at least entertaining. the next one could be good, but i'm not holding my breath.

LMFAO!!! Wow, maybe this time they will be drag racing bicycles down main street while avoiding vagrancy laws....

Just combine the two movies and have Riddick racing blinged-out space ships around the galaxy and running from the space cops with paul walker.

The awesome meter...you broke it.

 

[MotionMan]

I thoroughly enjoy watching Pitch Black (aka Riddick 1, I guess?).

I also enjoy watching Chronicles of Riddick (Riddick 2?), but, no matter how many times I have watched it, I just cannot understand what the hell is going on.

Had some interesting things, but just couldn't quite coalesce everything well. It reminds me a bit of The Matrix in that the first movie is almost like in isolation, and then the second they just blow it wide open and go into all this grandiose events, but just ends up failing in execution. The second one gets annoying with all the overacted slow scenes.

The game was pretty cool, but overall there's still just something off about the whole thing.

 

[SirStev0]

first two were good enough.... so I'll prob check it out.

 

[Synomenon]

Yeah, Pitch Black and CoR were decent enough and entertaining unless you're one of those film snob types.

 

[DaveSimmons]

CoR director's cut on DVD is longer and makes more sense than the theatrical version.

It was a fun action movie, and as mentioned above death by teacup will stand as one of the best. kills. ever.

 

[darkxshade]

I liked Pitch Black because it was pretty original... I didn't see CoR though.
