I liked it. Was going to see Chronicles of Riddick last night, but got there too late.

It wasn't bad. Neither was CoR, though CoR's writer needs to be shot.

i rather enjoyed it. especially the portion of the movie (the beginning) that riddick is stalking the crew. i saw the Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury a couple of days ago. i enjoyed that very much also. it was done by Peter Chung (Aeon Flux), and has the voices of all the surviving members of Pitch Black (Vin Diesel, Keith David, Rhiana Griffith). it's basically a gap bridger between Pitch Black and the Chronicles of Riddick. fills in a couple of holes. it's only 35 minutes long though. but like i said, i still liked it.

If you're talking about the ending, then I agree

I'm talking about Necromongers, and Furions (from Furya!), the burnt-to-ash planet Crematoria, and the "air elemental" named "Aerion."

Twohy should've been writing comic books 30 years ago. That kind of bad taste in creative writing was much more acceptable.

That's exactly what I thought since I heard the word Necromonger. That sounds like garbage that only Todd McFarlne could dream up.
Decent enough movie, though.

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

SLIGHT SPOILERS!!! YOU WERE WARNED!

The whole Riddick story is pretty good, I must say...

Pitch Black was good, not the greatest, but a little cheesy...

CoR was good, not the greatest (but, I thought, better than Pitch Black), but a little cheesy...

The demo of the game (Escape from Butcher's Bay for Xbox) showed that the game might be pretty damn good... no Halo, but possibly a great one, methinks (especially the stealth involved... I mean, whats cooler than being able to just walk up behind a guy and snap his neck in first person? (don't call me sadistic... just a game)).

Haven't seen the cartoon (voice over by the great Vin Diesel)

Problems with CoR:
-The names (as Shiska pionted out).
-Could've been better without that damned elemental... I hate her so much! Made it even more cheesy!
-The best looking woman in the movie is not essential to the storyline, thus small part, thus gets killed :-(
-A little cheesy
-Weak ending (but I've seen worse.... hell, as long as its a better ending than Matrix: Revolutions, then I'll watch it)

Good things about it:
-Riddick is cool
-Hellboy is in it
-Those alien cats kick ass.
-Crematoria is a cool concept, looks cool, bad name.
-AWESOME futuristic cityscapes and CG scenes.
-Necromongers (although should've been actual aliens, rather than Human (and Humanoid)... I think alien races should look different, not basically all the same, go Star Wars, rather than Star Trek) were a pretty neat concept, despite the name... their weapons are cool.
-The dead, life-sensing little -blam!-es are a cool concept.
-Eomer (from Lord of the Rings) is in it.
-"I'll kill you with my teacup"
-Kira dies (don't get me wrong, Kira was cool... I just think its more interesting when a main character gets killed in the end).

Please note that I do not recall the names of the actors who play Eomer and Hellboy.

i don't remember Ron Perlman (Hellboy) being in it...

another thing that got kind of annoying is the way Riddick would take his goggles off. cool the first couple of times, but it got comical after the 20th.

the whole story -names and all- sucked in my opinion. it had shades of Conan the Barbarian, but the sheer cheesyness ruined it. Riddick is still a badass though.

Yeah, it was cheesy... but it wasn't too cheesy (IE: not cheesy enough to make you say, "GODDANMNIT! STOP BEING SO CHEESY!")... not to me, anyway...

And wasn't the lead merc that set out to get Riddick (the scraggly looking dude with the beard) really Ron Perlman? Or was it just some guy that looked like him?

Rufio (from the movie, Hook.... also the kid that keeps saying, "MILF" in American Pie) was in it as wel, I think.... another merc.

Both Pitch Black and CoR were good movies, although i liked CoR better.

P.S. Who thinks Kira was hot in CoR (i did)
