Variety
An improbable but very enjoyable sequel that recaptures much of the stripped-down intensity of Diesel and director David Twohy’s franchise starter "Pitch Black." - 67
The Playlist
Riddick, as a character, is best when he's alone, fighting against insurmountable odds, with narratives that serve his singular nastiness. - 64
Film.com
Riddick is a fractured skeleton of a script, with each distinct installment scratching its own itch. - 60
Empire
Overlong and often overcooked, this is nevertheless a relative return to form for Diesel as the fiendish Furyan. - 58
Entertainment Weekly
At a time when the budgets for sci-fi films are, like the universe itself, expanding at an astronomical rate, Riddick decides to go small. - 40
Time Out London
The aliens are unscary and easily despatched, Vin’s too silent to be interesting, and the other characters – a gang of bounty hunters on Riddick’s trail – are either dull or offensive. - 40
Total Film
Too stodgy for B-movie suspense, too silly to shock, too sexist to stomach, Diesel’s return misfires. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
Playing it safe with a script that offers Riddick up as a lone avenging hero, Twohy passes on the opportunity to effectively shade the character’s distinctive dimensionality.
