Just watched the first 10 minutes of this on TNT. Looks quite silly but I'll check it out at the theater.

Edit: only edited the title.--Dinkeldog

I'm looking forward to it. I picked up the new Pitch Black DVD and was pleasantly surprised to find a free ticket to Chronicles of Riddick within. It is the kind of movie I'd go see regardless, but free makes it even better.

Me too, but I had to get this poll in before Krug posted his, and the 10 minute preview seemed like a good enough excuse. Nothing against Krug, I just don't like that his polls don't allow you to see who voted what.

I want to know who's giving some of these movies scores of perfect 10....

Did anyone else watch the first 10 minutes? It looks like its going to be wall to wall special effects and action.

This weekend...

I have a feeling this will be a big hit, sticking around more than four weeks!

That's not how movie ratings should be compared. RotK is not a sci-fi action adventure. If it were a sci-fi action adventure, it would have been a terribly bad one. Likewise, comparisons between CoR and RotLA are also misguided. They are different types of movies. Apples and oranges.

Now, comparing CoR to TESB is sensible. They're at least nominally the same genre. That being said, it wouldn't surprise me if CoR was at least as good as TESB. But, then again, I thought the Jimmy Neutron movie was better science fiction than The Phantom Menace.
