2.0 out of 5 stars
Nothing more than a storyline,
By kinain@yahoo.com (Upminster) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pitch Black (Mass Market Paperback)
I loved the movie and decided to read the book. When I received it I realised that it wasn't written prior to the film, but after. A simple run-down of what happened in the movie. I felt that it was quite badly written. I am usually more of a fan of books rather than acting as you get to see deeper into the characters and situations. This book unfortunately did the opposite, although my opinion may be biased by the fact that I thought the acting performances in Pitch Black were outstanding. Overall the story idea is great - it is quite contrived but it's direct action, straight into your brain and it gets the adrenalin pumping. The way the characters develop is amazing, but its dealt with quite poorly in this book. However, it gets two stars for covering pieces which were missing from the movie and tying up some things that I felt were left hanging. It's also a good companion for those of us who have seen the movie four times and feel that it might be pushing it (and our wallets) to go again.

Audrey???,
This review is from: Pitch Black: Fight Evil with E (Mass Market Paperback)
As books go this was ok, the explanation of how Riddick became a hunted man was a good tie-in to the movie... but WHY OH WHY was Jack's name changed to Audrey and made into a girl upon intro. Sad... there goes the moment of revelation that was such an excellent moment in the film. And making out that Riddick was some kinda reluctant hero, some do-right standup guy? Riddick, first and foremost, him helping anyone else was just a byproduct. The change in his way of thinking came at the very end with the death of the pilot. Other that this the book followed the movie and was a good read but Audrey definitely ruined it for me.
