Riddick

Riddick written and directed by David Twohy, starring Vin Diesel and Katee Sackoff.

This movie is basically a rehash of the first movie Pitch Black, only no where near as good as that movie.  This movie is entertaining but serves no point in the Riddick trilogy, in that it doesn't forward the story, universe, or mythology of Riddick. 

This movie seems to serve one purpose: that is to reaffirm that Riddick is a bad ass, which by now if you don't know that you're pretty thick of head.  I just wish this movie would have had Riddick finding his home and then journey with him as he explores more of his past, that would have made a much more interesting movie.  But even saying all of this, this movie was still entertaining and not a bad way to spend a couple of hours, just make sure you turn your brain off when watching the movie. 

One more thing the dog in here was awesome, finally the good guys get a really cool toy, instead of the bad guys always getting them, for that alone I will give this movie a thumbs up.
