From start to finish, non stop,good fun,epic sci-fi action. Riddick is super cool. Ive seen it on tv several times and I would love to see the extended version. All you chronicle (mostly bandwagon) haters should have your souls sucked out. It would be for the best. I hope 3 is as good as 2 too. I loved Chronicles.

Does that mean I;m in a minority then? Anyway "I" hope that the third one is just as good as the second one. Actually I liked the second one.

Anyway “I” hope that the third one is just as good as the second one.

After a second viewing I really enjoyed Chronicles. Sometimes we just should be thankful that there are still these types of films being made. If its in any way sci-fi, I'll give it a go! I've watched some utter sh*te, but occasionaly something will surprise you. What 3 films BTW?

Chronicles was a self indulgent, bloated load of Dunesque bollocks. IMO. Can't say I'm that interested in a third installment. Pitch Black was an unexpected low-fi treat of a movie.

I read the reviews so thought it would be a huge pile of Battlefield Earth, but when I got it as part of a 3 for a tenner offer I thought it was brilliant. It has a few minor flaws, but it had some great original ideas and some absolutely stonking action sequences. The plot was nice and complicated, and I always felt the universe was well worth another visit. I’m in the “love Riddick 2″ camp.

It's not a great film, sure, but as Nick said, it's fun, some great design and some nice ideas behind it. That and Riddick, who may be one of the coolest characters ever. Sure, it didn't have the best acting or script, but neither did Avatar, game-changing technology aside... Anyway, this certainly has a lot of potential. I look forward to it.

I may have to dust down the DVDs and watch them again. I remember I wasn't that blown away with Chronicles. Maybe on another viewing I might change my mind. Role on number three though, and make it like the first one!

I just don't understand the hate. It's just a big silly space opera with cool fx and design and some good action sequences (the chase to beat the sun over the prison planet is fab.) Please, someone, explain what makes it so bad. I sat through Battlefield Earth. I know bad. Bring on Riddick 2. "You keep what you kill." I loved Pitch Black but I love Chronicles of Riddick too.

A Genuine treat. Absolutely despise the second, but that's my choice. I get less forgiving the older I get - If i woulda been 15 when i saw it I think i might have greatly enjoyed it.

The first was a surprising treat when it came out and i kinda like the second. It's by no means anything special but it ain't no Phantom Menace! Not sure how they could carry the story on and keep it smaller and more like the first. I would like to see an escape from butcher's bay film as the game was ace and felt more like Pitch Black than Chronicles. I’m hopeful that a third film will be good.

I do love the first one, I saw it with me mum. not sure bout the second, maybe time to watch it again.but the major thing that I'm worried about is David Towhy, I watched A Perfect Getway last night as it happens, and is was a big pile of doo-doo...and he wrote, directed and had the cheesied cameo I have ever had witnessed in a movie. Even worse than M.Night Shitelayn...sic Ermmm…

Presumably they've only ever seen three SF films. There you go again, bashing people for liking something that you don't.
