I liked it too. I also think he was just doing what he wanted and in the end it worked out for everyone.

I really liked the movie, too! But hey, every movie with Vin Diesel in it is a girl's movie, right? Just his voice alone makes me drool!

I liked the stunts, especially the rope one and really liked the beauty of the sets. But I agree that it was a shame they

killed Kyra off, now that Riddick has no one left he cares for, what will he do in the next movie, provided there is one?

Definitely a DVD to buy.

keep doing what he always has? i mean do you really want to see riddick just go around saving people all the time? not me.. i'd love to see him do all the things he's been so hunted for.

wow, i am suprised no one liked the film, i actually really enjoyed it. that may be because of my two special circumstances however..

1) I hated pitch black.. the idea was ok, but it seemed to be done poorly, and the only only only saving grace for that film was that you meet riddick.. most everyone and everything else in it sucked

2) i went into chronicles with the same expectations i had for Terminator 3... none. when you expect a movie to suck big big big time, and it doesn't suck that bad, you tend to enjoy it more, so good call on my part cause i feel i didn't waste my money.

I really think chronicles was good though.. not the best movie ever sure, but still good.. yeah there was some cliche shit and cheezy one liners, but not as bad as say, big gay van helsing or something.. plus most of the complaints about riddick becoming too hero like.. i am not following you. i can't really see much that he did which wasn't self serving. if you are a self serving person you can really follow what he is thinking the whole time.. even when he was with the necromongers, he was just trying to fight or find his wat out... i don't think he gave 2 shits about his little shan shu proficy.. he did what he did cause he wanted to get the hell outta there or was seeking revenge. i personally can't wait for the next one.

ps, the ending rocked.

i'm with you robb. i liked it too. everything you said is what i was thinking (except the hated pitch black part). and when the deceptive wife screamed near the end and it all came together, well ... i guess satisfied is the word.

I enjoyed TCOR, but I'm waiting for the director's cut DVD to pass final judgment. For the theatrical release of the film, the director was forced to cut 40 minutes of backstory and character development out of the film because the studio decided that it wanted a PG-13 "popcorn" movie.

I thought it was interesting seeing Riddick tossed into this mega-space-opera story.

Btw, has anyone written a Firefly/Pitch Black crossover fanfic?

40 Minutes more backstory? This is so cool, tanks for sharing, I didn't know that. I hope it will be out on DVD soon!

Thanks,
