Wow, very classy.

vin diesel can't act

the movie would have been better with him just looking cool not trying to act. I don't see this as a sleeper hit, i bet it might be popular on dvd.

The movie was average entertainment. Either way I'm a happy camper, I didn't have to pay anything for it since i got the free ticket from the Pitch Black dvd (which I love)

Bitter? Ever take an English class?

Just curious.

Susan said it best.

This movie isn't really good, but it isn't really bad either.

Diesel can't act to save his life. Twohy is an OK director, I won;t give him the accolades everyone else does because he doesn't deserve it, but he is better than 60% of the s**t directors working today.

Are you kidding!!! If anything he is the most inventive and compelling action director except for Guillermo Del Toro of the Blade series or the Wachowski Brothers.

Also, his beautiful metaphores of cameras as an eye, especially in his work in Pitch Black are wonderful. His angles are used to great effect as you can see from all of the dizzying effects in the opening necro. montage. I dare you to name a better action/special effects/sci fi series in the last ten years. Star Wars???

I heard Vin Diesel was braging about how he know was going to become a big star years before he did. People like that annoy me,most of them will never be nothing except for a few lucky ones like him. Most critics agree that he can't act,he just has that right tough guy look.

one thing tha I have to say that annoys me about action films is when they are filmed with such blurry camera motions and fast movements that you really can't see crap! there were some fight sequences in riddick i would have enjoyed more if they weren't just a motion of blur

I am not a Vin fan at all... but I mean, come on, what action stars CAN really act? Schwarzenneger, Stallone? Segal?
