Arthur & Merlin (2015)
Not the worst Arthurian tale
Honestly, I have seen far worse adaptations of the Arthur/Merlin legends. The acting is pretty amateur but it's a passable story.
I actually quite enjoyed the score. Kudos to whoever was responsible for locations.
Riddick (2013)
Decent but...
The movie is decent enough, nothing too exciting. The casting is a strong point for me.
One thing I will give the Riddick series is the creature creations. Not just the CG rendering of those creatures, but the imagination that goes into creating them. Pitch Black and Riddick both have very good original creatures.
My problem with this movie lies in its similarities to Pitch Black. Riddick borrows heavily from the original movie. I had hoped for something with the strength of story and originality of Pitch Black, but not a copycat. While Chronicles is relevant at the beginning and end of Riddick, it is largely ignored.
The movie starts pretty slow but once it gets going it moves along at a good pace. A good flick for a couple of hours entertainment.
