Didnt want to watch it because Entertainment Weekly and everyone else gave it like a C. And generally, i feel the same way about movies.

I didn't get a chance to see the movie over the weekend but I did get to rent the game and spend a few hours with it. Overall I'd say the game is pretty damn cool. I've been hearing it's short, which kind of sucks since I'm probably over half way through with it. But, the graphics are indeed very nice (and super shiny) and the controls are pretty tight once you get used to them. It seems a little over the top on the mature side (like so much so that it's kind of a gimmick - seeing the F word written on walls and having the cinematic characters use it whenever they can) but then again I guess it IS a prison after all.

You know what sucks though? If Riddick's big thing is the ability to see the dark, why the -BLAM!- do I have to wait to the final part of the game to actually use my "power"? That's freakin lame... the whole game takes place in the dark. Seems like a poor design choice to me. (anyone know if you can go back through the game after you beat it and have the eyeshine ability from the start? that woud somewhat make it up for me)

I just saw it last night, it was awesome! For those of you who haven't seen it, do it! Best Sci-Fi in a long time. Now I need to play the game and watch Pitch Black.

seriously, im a sci fi fan. and i have a huuuuuuuge tolerence for dumb action movies. and i loooved pitch black, i think riddick is a great character, and i think vin diesel does a perfect job playing him. but the chronicles of riddick was an unbelieveably bad movie. i mean, there was no coherence from one scene to the next. the characters were all underdeveloped, the story was weak, and the script was awful. whoever directed this took a great idea, great special effects, some decent actors, and -blam!- ed it all up.
