I think it looks good. Films don't have to be intellectual to be enjoyable. It's a straight up sci-fi action film.

 

i don't understand this notion tbh. if you watch a film which is insultingly stupid like this one, where everything you see is a loveless pastiche of ideas from other more-or-less stupid films... how can you sit through this? i mean why not re-watch, i dunno, Robocop, or maybe.. Tremors? even if you've seen em a dozen times, surely it'll be more enjoyable than having to digest this turd named Diesel?

 

you just don't like Diesel? he's my favorite of the body builder type actors to rise in the past 10 or 15 years. a Vin Diesel movie is like a snickers bar, you can have it once in awhile without feeling too gross but always brush your teeth right afterwards

He was good in Boiler Room and perfectly fine in the Fast and Furious films. I think it's nice he has his career back on track.

people that can type watch the fast and the furious?

Vin Diesel: [Addressing the reporters] You're sitting on this set because I did a cameo in Tokyo Drift. […] There's something appropriate and liberating and honest and free about going into a picture like this and being able to make it a rated-R picture and not have to comply with an understandable studio mandate of PG filmmaking for the blockbusters in Hollywood […]

I've been lobbying and leveraging for [Riddick] for nine years, and even after leveraging everything in order to make it rated R. Unfortunately, I should probably care more about making money than I do. And don't tell the people who pay me — because they pay me a lot of money — that I would do all this shit for free.

vin is one of the cooler dudes in hollywood

So they had to contrive a way to strand him on yet another planet where his vision will come in handy. He needs to stick to the car movies.

It looks good for what it is. It's the kind of movie you see with your dad.

this trailer came on in front of elysium. when vin diesel goes "this ain't nothin new" the entire theater rumbled and shook. it's like he just emits bass tones instead of words.

He's no Michael Fassbender, but the guy can act.

I like Vin. Riddick is a great character, would be good to see him in another less-tampered-with-by-the-guys-in-suits film.

Ha! :D

H8rs gunna h8. I liked Chronicles more than I liked Pitch Black, but I'm all for big weird ideas in film. This one looks like it may be good, I'll certainly watch it at some point.

They are planning two more movies in the series. The next one should go to the Underverse, and after that to Furya. I'm quite curious about how that could all work itself out.
