Will the third time be a charm for Vin Diesel as Riddick? With the third installment of this action franchise hitting theaters today, movie critics around the country seem torn in their analysis. Is it an embarrassing clunker? Or is it simply… Riddick , a film aiming for fun more than an Oscar nomination? Scroll down for a look at the most prominent review… Riddick Movie Trailer This is not one of those Johnny-come-lately sequels preoccupied with getting a new audience up to speed on where the story was. It’s about living in the moment, in the now, and killing in the now. – The Chicago Tribute “Sloppy” is a kind word, actually, for the ridiculously clumsy dialogue in ”Riddick,” the third and latest installment of the sci-fi saga. – The Associated Press Faithful to the template if not the spirit of previous installments, this flabby second sequel barely manages to advance Riddick’s considerable personal mythology. – The Hollywood Reporter Imagine Alien, only told from the perspective of the alien, and he’s played by a movie star, and at heart he’s an okay dude. A cute idea, perhaps, but kind of a wash when it comes to narrative tension. – Vulture Twohy succeeds in staging moments both tense and funny, but they’re fewer and farther between than one would hope, and the dialogue is served up with a heaping helping of cheese, especially when delivered in Diesel’s low-frequency growl. – Entertainment Weekly
