    Loved it! Not as good as the first two IMHO, but still engaging and imaginative, if a little predictable with cliche characters etc!

    Just saw it. It was OK. I mainly went because of Pitch Black, which I loved back in the day. Some elements of this film felt like exact copies of that, tho. Like the monsters in the rain. They felt very much like the aliens in the dark from Pitch Black. I hope a fourth film goes back to Chronicles of Riddick territory without the over-the-top cheese that film brought.

    What brought it down several pegs for me were the godawful demale characters. They were either rape victims or butch lesbians that made exceptions for Vin Diesel. That whole part felt so awkward. Like a 15 year olds wet dream.

    Yeh! Great wasn't it

    Joking aside, it didn't bother me too much as some of the dialog and scenes were so good. The first third of the film was the best, but again, I really just dug being in Riddick's world again, so I forgive some of the lesser points of the flick!

    ps: Loved the bikes!

    True, I like being sent back there as well. It's pretty gritty and dirty comparef to many other franchises. I liked the way the film kept switching perspectives. First 30 minutes is all Riddick, but for act 2 he takes on a supporting role only to come back as the protagonist in act 3.

    Shameless bump!

    Watched this last weekend, absolutely loved it - brainless, violent, unbelievable high energy fun! 1st part of the movie was the best IMO, but I love anything that involves "survival ordeals". The entire Riddick series is just pure grunty-killy escapism at it's best...I genuinely enjoy this franchise.

    I heard the 4th one has been given the green light as well...this one cost something like $30 million to make and has netted $100 million, so a good return for whoever invested in it.

     
    don't know if the DR is a different ending to the theatre one, but going by the DR ending, he will be heading to the underverse to kick ass and be all snarky whilst decapitating folk and stuff
