chronicles of riddick

overblown and boring. somebody sure got suckered into spending a ton of money thinking that vin diesel was a star. the plot takes all the lamest elements of sci-fi and throws them all together. to be honest, if i were about 10 years old watching this, i would have loved it! unfortunately, i am not 10 years old, and this movie is a clunker. by about 10 minutes in it was pretty obvious where this story was going thanks to the oh so subtle writing (sarcasm), unfortunately it took two more hours to get us back to the very predictable ending. i had a very hard time sitting through this movie, there was really nothing of interest to keep me watching. even after watching the first movie and the animated prequel, i still had no real interest in how riddick's story played out. i even got up and mowed the lawn in the middle of it, and i HATE to mow the lawn! that should tell you something...
