Unfortunately I don't see that one coming but I'm still hoping that I'm wrong :P Yes, something like that would be cool.

Riddick rules. And Joni's comment about the Furians has got me wondering . . . . we've had reboots for Batman, Bond, the Hulk, and BG. . .why not a reboot for Riddick? I envision a crazy epic that starts right after Pitch Black and that takes the Chronicles in a totally different direction. Hell, stranger things have happened. the people have spoken! Riddick rules.

When I first saw it I knew it was going to be an amazing epic. Too bad about the box office. Some people have too much vision for their own good. There just haven't been any good SF epics at the movies lately. I'm dying for one! I thought the Chronicles of Riddick rocked. When I first saw it I knew it was going to be an amazing epic.

There was a lot of ideas that they could have worked with but such is life. I thought the movie fcking rocked to be honest, shame it tanked because I had high hopes for the franchise.

My biggest grief was the whole furian thing. I would have wanted Riddick to be the badass ex-con that got his eyes at the prison. I am still divided on how I like the necro(something) but at least that was epic and upped the scale of the previous movie. I don't know why people usually are dissing Vin Diesel. To me he is better action star than many other new ones (not to mention Steven Seagal or Van Damme). I think that he achieved what he went for, Conan in space. Although I am a tech freak and like ranged combat in movies and literature I have to admit that those knife fighting scenes in Riddick movies were mind blowing. I just hope that there will be a third Riddick movie that perhaps conveniently forgets all about this furian thing :) I am a huge fan of Pitch Black and to a bit lesser extent of Chronicles of Riddick.

Despite the movie having no major names (Dame whatsherface not withstanding), the production values were top notch and hinted at an "Epic-ness" that was to come. Given how many times I've seen the movie (and on DVD and most likely Blu Ray when it comes out), I had hoped the story line had the opportunity to continue. Not knowing the final fate of the characters - especially the "Keep What You Kill" business was and is disappointing to me as a sci-fi fan. While the movie industry does not seem to have a problem churning out rehash and remake, one after the next, the endless morass that actual good ideas seem to face only disappoints me even more. - Pak I agree wholeheartedly, Dave.
