Vin, the riddick movies SUCK! WHY do you keep thinking they're good??


These movies are SO cheesy and hacky and stupid. Vin diesel is the only reason they still keep happening. Not in a good way. He pushes and pushes til they're made. Otherwise, the first one would have been it, and just a forgotten about movie. Which it should have been. They are an excuse for vin to try and look cool. And he always looks the same, like a HORRIBLE actor, trying to look bad a*s. Stop vin. You're acting is like a pro wrestler, turned actor. Like when the rock first started acting. But vin hasn't gotten better with ongoing years. That's the difference. He was good in saving private Ryan, and that's it! Probably cuz he had good direction. And spielberg probably told him to put his "wannabe bad a*s" looks he likes to give the camera in check. Cuz after and before that movie, everything he's done is total crap. Fooling idiots who know nothing about real cinema and acting into liking him. He has a semi good look to him. But he wastes them by being an idiot, and acting like one. Have you honestly ever heard him speak? He's a dummy.

Sorry Jothos I didn't bother to read your little essay. Jealous much? Now go put a cucumber up somewhere ;)

I think Jatho here meant to say this about the Fast & The Furious films.

It's his money... literally, he mortgaged his own house for $40mil and change, in order to finance the film... and he owns the rights to it.

So it's all his and he can do what the fück he likes with it. So long as he's having fun and not hurting anyone, who cares?
If anything, it creates a few more jobs for people in Hollywood.

I think it has mostly to do with how much of a sleeper hit Pitch Black was. I didn't care for 'Chronicles' while Riddick was an improvement but Pitch Black still remains a favorite of mine.

Saw the first one a month ago. It holds up pretty well.

Probably, because the first one was a perfectly good little film. Thing is, the second one was such a waste of time, I had no idea till just now that there had been a third. Looks like I need to have a look. I'm not taking anybodies word that it sucks as bad as the second one.

I love the first two movies. The third one is okay but it feels too much like a remake of Pitch Black.
