I liked the third movie much better than the second one. Riddick is about survival, not being a leader. The entire first act of the third movie was brilliantly done, and the CG work is unexpectedly great. I expected low budget, but the monsters are VERY impressive.

If you actually LIKED the second movie, you may not like the third. I wonder when they plan to release it? If it's after the Mad Max spin-off Furiosa, the title of the fourth Riddick is going to cause some serious confusion.

I never saw the third Riddick on account of people saying it was basically "pitch black reloaded." (I would have gladly gone to see another movie about the Necromongers.)

Anyone here see it? I thought it bombed too, so to see a fourth one being made seems strange.

It was exactly that but perfectly executed, a great movie. The necromongers space soap opera stuff was never that compelling IMO and I'm glad they stopped. The CGI budget on that stuff would've sunk the franchise.

Exactly. I was so disappointed the third film wasn't a direct sequel of the second film. Never bothered to watch the third.

Should we get you a copy of Kerbal Space Program?

Let's introduce him to MechJeb.

Happy Belated birthday Blue.

I've seen all the Riddick films - first two are pretty sweet. Third was alright. I think Vin wants to keep the series alive more than anything, since he likes playing the character. I wish they would get on with explaining his origins, which they keep alluding to.

Hopefully the saying better late than never still holds up.

Happy Yesterday B-Day Blue!!!

It was pretty good. I liked Katee Sackoff in it - she plays a great smartass. I too was really hoping they were going to carry the Underverse story forward as it would have been hella interesting. The third one is almost a slap in the face. Wait a second, so Riddick goes from emperor of the most powerful force in the galaxy back to square one without explanation. The whole Underverse concept is an interesting one. Anyway just watch it already.

Were you busy making popcorn for the first part of it? From the last film, you know Riddick doesn't give a shit about the Necromongers, he doesn't want to be their leader, and everyone there hates him anyway. The setup for the sequel is he decides to give it up and go off to look for his home world. The only weird part is why he waited five years to do it. Events transpire and BAM, stranded on another desolate rock.

I thought the third Riddick movie was okay, but you could tell they had a lot less budget to work with than the second one did. For what it was it was a decent Sci-Fi action adventure.

It was ok. Not great, but you could do a lot worse...
