Saying you hate Riddick is like saying you hate Cool Whip-brand sweetened non-dairy whipped product. Sure, it is one of the nastiest things ever to be conceived in a hidden 1950s underground nuclear research facility, but in grandma's Thanksgiving desserts, it's but a single degree of separation from ambrosia. And yes, I seem to have lost track of where I was going with this analogy.

Riddickulous!
4	Ytadel	6 _70th
In this case, the third entry of the trilogy turns out to be the best one... though with this franchise, granted, that isn't saying that much. It's certainly not a great movie and the dialogue is largely mediocre, but it is very interesting how Twohy takes advantage of his limited budget by making this a "bottle episode" of a movie, mostly set in and immediately around a single small building/bunker, a nearby cave and the desert in between them. Mostly gets its gritty B-movie action job done.
4	Tripwyre	67 _54th
It's rare that the third entry in a series is the best one (as one could make the unwanted sequel argument with ease), but here we are. We've had Riddick as Space Plissken and Riddick as Space Conan, so why not Riddick as Space Survivorman? The isolated first act works best of the bunch, as the movie slowly turns into a Pitch Black remake of sorts, correcting most of that film's flaws. Diesel is tons of fun, and Sackhoff, Bautista & Nable ain't bad either. A quality B-movie with cool creatures.
4	Cinema_Asia	65 _42nd
If you thought Riddick was this amazing badass you'd be mistaken. It appears the reason why no one can kill Riddick is because the universe is inhabitated by space clowns. It's like watching the three stooges, Benny Hill, and Mr. Bean in space dressed as bounty hunters running around with their rubber mallets and squirting flowers. The biggest threat here are the australian outback on steroids space animals. The first 25 minutes was a nice buildup until the bounty hunter slapstick began.
4	misterlizard	35 _39th
Spends the first half hour undoing everything from the second film (which I surprisingly still remember) before turning the next 90 minutes into a carbon copy of Pitch Black. If not for the shiny gloss finish that modern CGI provides, this could easily be a mid-90s direct-to-DVD release starring Christopher Lambert or Mario van Peebles. Vaguely enjoyable due to Diesel's general badassery, but definitely not the sequel I expected from Chronicles.
4	Paxton	55 _27th
A step back in the direction of Pitch Black, this time Riddick is stuck on a planet with terrible creatures on their way. Wait, maybe this is a remake of Pitch Black. No, no. I remember now, in Pitch Black the monsters are like Swoop Raaaaa! In this one they're like Stomp Aaaarrr!
3	KasperL	40 _20th
I read somewhere that Vin Diesel is the actor with the most likes on Facebook. Which is baffling to me. This movie had its moments but it doesn't live up to its two predecessors. Everything involving Katee Sackhoff's character was horrible.
2	joseywales	69 _53rd
Just as enjoyable as the previous 2 1/2 episodes from the Underverse. Jordi Molla needs to be in more films.
2	Stewball	70 _54th
Actually a pretty innovative plot in places. Even the monsters weren't so typical. And the k-9 was a nice touch. Not completely out of the rut but close.
2	nechbet	40 _9th
Riddick and his dog. A love story.
2	krf7	50 _26th
Can some kind soul please fund an underverse movie so we can end this series for better or worse?
2	DougieD	50 _15th
A step down in quality from the previous Riddick movies. Horribly dated visuals, cringeworthy dialogue and the dumbest bad guys I've seen in a movie this year. Only reason I give it an average grade rather than a bad one is that the main character is still incredibly likeable and the usual survival story kept my interest.
1	evrana	21 _4th
I don't know what I was expecting as it is like an universal law that this kind of series gets worse and worse. But this one was particularly bad, it is at the level of a video game chapter story-wise. 20 points are for the cute dog/deer/zebra thingie design, but there wasn't much else honestly.
1	MJVmovieMan	57 _27th
I wanted to enjoy 'Riddick,' but the film is the most aimless of the three. It wants to be 'Cast Away,' 'Aliens,' and a 'Pitch Black' remake all at once. None work effectively. Vin Diesel's character still interests, but this movie, while a technical accomplishment on such as low budget, fails to deliver anything memorable or worthwhile.

VinDiesel Crusoe on Mars.

Pitch Black (The Original Riddick) was a great little sci-fi thriller. Chronicles of Riddick (The Second Riddick) had a weak sci-fi story but great action so about half the audience forgave it. Riddick III is the worst of all of them! The actors Vin Diesel and Katee Sackhoff received embarrassing roles. This whole production was a kick in the nuts for all involved and all the fans of Riddick.
1	CarsonWid	55 _29th
It's not bad, but there's also nothing special about it. The acting and dialogue is bad, but it's not as if I was expecting anything better in that department.
1	Gideon	1 _16th
Feels like a low budget tv series episode. They should have stopped after Pitch Black.
1	Matthew Parkinson (CineMarter)	50 _47th
Riddick is worth seeing if you like seeing Vin Diesel do cool things, or if you wanted a slightly -- but only slightly -- different take on what Pitch Black did thirteen years prior. Vin Diesel is fun to watch, and watching him kill the bad guys is enjoyable. The special effects are good, the action is sometimes hilariously over-the-top and incredibly gory, and if the editing had chopped off about half an hour of unnecessary filler then it would definitely be worth seeing.
1	WulfstanLee	20 _15th
This franchise is a little tired. It seems like the lack of success of "Chronicles" forced Diesel and Twohy into making a smaller movie, but this one feels like a retread of Pitch Black. Vin Diesel is a great and believable action star, of course, but no one else in the film really stands out (not even Katee Sackhoff or Batista).
1	Bearacuda	2 _0th
Some cool stuff, but still a bad movie.
1	dardan	23 _11th
There are two types of movies Vin Diesel appears in: shitty movies and very shitty movies.
