Title:
The Chronicles of Riddick (C+)
Actors:
Vin Diesel, Judi Dench
Writer/Director:


Not being able to write a new review for more than a week is a bad thing, but seeing another so-so movie to review, is far worse.
I should have taken the $30M+ dollars gross of this movie on its first week as a sign, that it would be nothing, nothing, more than a mediocre sci-fi futuristic trash. And, typical of me, I’m right again.
The movie takes us to an indefinite time (or maybe a different dimension or reality of some sort, it wasn’t really much clearly defined just like everyone and everything in the entire movie), Riddick (out of all the names why this one) is introduced to us played by the gym-buddy Vin Diesel (not gasoline). He’s macho alright and he’s super smart and oh, he’s not human, he’s a Furian (I have no idea what that is just like all the things they were talking about), and of course, who wouldn’t notice he have glow in the dark eyes… wow… that’s really unique! Just like what everyone loves: a good-looking protagonist out to protect the world, or in this movie the universe, or something else and he wears contacts, such genius should be rewarded--- not!
Then, his past was revealed, his not too perfect after all! Like we don’t know that. Then Judi Dench came in and yah kinda start to pay attention cuz she might say something smart to make this movie acceptable. Then, the bad guys came with their kinda old kinda ultramodern wardrobes and then Tyra Banks show off some runway skills, oh, I’m sorry it wasn’t Tyra, I thought for a second they’re the same size and they both wear the same lashes, silly me!
And then, suddenly it became really interesting; I never thought that it could become far worse than it already is. The movie turned into a circus, too many things happened but nothing makes that much sense. It was like watching Mongolian Barbecue!
The material is just bad, bad and nothing more than bad. They just wasted their money in making this film. Only dumb guys would love this movie, cuz there’s too many things to see but nothing to understand.
The movie is just plain empty, no character development, no acting skills, nothing… and I just don’t get it, how come they allowed this movie to suck this much. This is one of the movies that yah forget you’re watching it even if you’re watching it at that same moment.
It’s forgettable in the truest sense of the word. Like they have no idea how to make a movie.
What movie are we talking about again? Ah, right, Roderick’s Petrang Kabayo. I think the main problem here is the script it’s just pathetic and unacceptable. And then, there’s the stiff acting, the mediocre direction and ordinary visual effects.
Don’t waste your time on this one; you’ll just regret it. Unless of course you’re the dumb guy I mentioned earlier who’s not in for the story but plainly the action, then go see this movie. It’ll be a spectacle for you, dumbass!
