How the HELL did Vin Diesel get away with making the exact same movie TWICE?

Yes I understand that. The original Pitch Black wasn't some big budget movie either, but it was well made, other than maybe a slow start of the movie.

The biggest problem eventually is the Chronicles of Riddikk big budget movie setting expectations too high, trying to make him look almost like a super hero....and after that there are two choices, either Hollywood makes a big sequel, or the movie franchise ends there. The low budget third film ended Riddikk franchise in a not so good way. Unnecessary film. Still better than xXx: return of Xander Cage reboot though, now THAT shyt was ridiculously stupid :laff:
Yea that new xxx movie was stupid, they tried to introduce too many new characters

And they keep making these action heroes look like superheroes doing crazy shyt like it's nothing. Now damn near every bigger budget action film has the same formula. 80s action films, even those look more real.

Seen both in the theaters with my pops and we enjoyed the fukk outta both of them. But, we went away liking the sequel more due to all the action and the ending. I look at both as classics tho.

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
The first movie is dare i say classic. Tokyo drfit and all the ones after are a complete different animal.
Nah Drift actually kept it street racing. Even 4 was street racing but it was the first since 1 to have Dom back, so they upped the bullshyt with Letty dying and the Mexico runs..

After that the Rock came in and street racing wasn't shyt, it was over the top nonsense. they just had cool cars
