Weird, trolling anger from some people aside, I enjoyed the movie, so I'm glad to see that a sequel will be coming.

Just because something is Rated R doesn't mean its going to be good.

Yeah, no shit. Punisher War Zone was horrendous.

...making a movie rated R can be just as much of a marketing decision as making a movie PG-13.

But that decision is usually an attempt to not compromise on the subject matter, as opposed to PG-13 decisions which make more people eligible to see it (i.e. more money).

We could babble about this all day. I was just illustrating a point.

Apparently Universal is "very pleased" with the dvd sales of Riddick.
Diesel says [they're] keen for a follow-up 4th.

Good news indeed. Hopefully it won't take a f*#king decade this time. I actually started laughing pretty hard at Vin's Video. haha..

Mindship Snap out of it.

Can't believe I ignored this movie for so long. Finally watched it, and while not a "great film", per se, Riddick the man, the survivor, the incredibly stealthy, humorously lethal philosopher, is definitely, monstrously kick-ass.

Predatory life forms are best served when Riddick is not marooned on their planet.

^ Director's or Theatrical Cut?

I love this movie. It's so well crafted and only gets better every time you see it. But you have to see the Director's Cut. It's so much better.

Theatrical. Yeah, I'll bet the Director's cut is something to see.

The director's cut isn't much different in a lot of ways, but it has a little more with the Necromongers/Vaako and the ending sets up for the next film(s). The ending is so perfect.. great cliffhanger. To me it makes it play out much better and fits it better with the rest of the series.

I think the reason I ignored this film for so long was because I didn't particularly like Chronicles. But "Riddick" brings him back to basics...which I understand many people thought was more/less a Pitch-Black redux...and to a certain degree, it was. But Richard (love the first name) is at his best in these raw survival situations. You just don't know what the guy is gonna do next, and he's got better quotables than Scwarzeneggar's T-800.

So did you rip that straight from a critic's review, or are you practicing for your own gig?

Yeah, the first 30-40 minutes of the film are fantastic. Beautifully dark pulp science fiction.
