Riddick Ratings & Reviews
- ርልዪረFebruary 24, 2026I am not sure why this movie caught to much bad press. It is a very very solid sci-fi/action movie. Its completely different from the first one but in a good way. Pitch Black was sci-fi/horror not action. The action sequences in this are amazing as well as the fight sequences. Vin Diesel was born to play this character like Arnold to the Terminator. The special effects, fights and action make this movie a balls to the wall fun flick. If you have not seen it because of all the nay sayers, I say hogwash, wow never thought i would use hogwash in a sentence. I've seen this one three times now with different people and everyone who sees it ends up really liking it and asking themselves why they haven't seen it before this. Check this one out for certain.
- RichardOctober 19, 2025After Chronicles of Riddick went full lore. dump with necromongers and elemental Judi Dench, Riddick wisely hits the reset button. Vin Diesel’s gravel voiced antihero is back, stranded on a sun scorched planet with no allies, no weapons and a whole lot of things that want him dead. It’s survival horror with a sci-fi twist and yes, it feels like Pitch Black 2.0, in all the right ways. The first half is pure grit: Riddick limping through alien terrain, setting traps, bonding with a space dog and slowly reclaiming his inner predator. Then the mercs arrive, two teams, one with a personal vendetta, the other just greedy and the film shifts into a tense standoff with nightfall looming and monsters waiting. Karl Urban pops in briefly to tie up Chronicles loose ends, but the real focus is on Riddick vs. mercs vs. creatures. The cast includes Dave Bautista, Katee Sackhoff and Jordi Mollà, all chewing scenery and trying not to get gutted. The pacing is tighter, the tone darker, and the kills more personal. On DVD, the film holds up well, especially the Unrated Director’s Cut, which adds depth and a few extra grimy details. The visuals are slick, the sound design immersive and the atmosphere deliciously tense. It’s not reinventing the genre, but it’s a solid return to form. A stripped down, back to basics survival thriller that remembers what made Riddick cool in the first place. Riddick is lean, mean and unapologetically brutal and on DVD, it’s the kind of movie you revisit when you want monsters, mercs and Diesel doing what he does best.
