Entertainment Weekly
This is a movie so devoted to metal that it couldn't care less about the flesh it destroys. - 50
TV Guide Magazine
Where "Pitch Black" relied on shadowy threats and sharply drawn relationships between a small group of stranded victims-to-be, Twohy's bloated space opera is an eye-popping three-ring circus of fabulously freaky costumes, over-ripe declaiming and computer-generated spectacle. - 50
Chicago Tribune
Despite being positioned as a mold-breaker, Riddick now blends in with a sizable crowd of reluctant loner cinematic heroes, just as the movie fails to convince that it's going where no movie has gone before. - 40
The New York Times
The action is so frenetic that the ominous mood isn't allowed to penetrate, and this time the human factor is all but erased. - 38
Philadelphia Inquirer
An overblown hodgepodge of volcano-baked desertscapes, Egyptoid-gone-baroque architecture, and gladiator-geared storm troopers with goofy headpieces, The Chronicles of Riddick bears no resemblance to the movie that spawned its namesake. - 38
USA Today
Has a riddick-ulous sci-fi plot, overblown and numbing video game-style special effects and a going-through-the-motions lead performance by Vin Diesel. - 30
Los Angeles Times
Not since John Travolta sprouted a head of dreadlocks and strapped on platform boots for "Battlefield Earth" has cinematic science fiction been such good-bad fun as in The Chronicles of Riddick. - 30
Washington Post
The muddy, convoluted story revolves around the star's cool-guy poses and one-liners.
