riddick have get to be the bad science fiction film i have see in a long time and at least since travolta battlefield earth . from the frankly pretentious introduction from writer or director david twohy and all the way thru to the mind numb finale and all you get be a parade of great eye candy use in the service of a muddled and incoherent story . riddick and who be just a simple convict in pitch black and be now transform into something call a furyan and some sort of super warrior race that be wipe out by the other race or by the big bad necromongers ( what a stupid name . ) after see it twice and i still can not figure that one out . it the same ridiculous twist that stephen sommers use in the mummy return with brendan fraser character while it do not work then and it sure doesn not work here and either . you also get judy dench ( m from the pierce brosnan bond movie ) a something call an air elemental who can turn into some sort of foggy stuff and can glide ( but not fly . ) but who have really nothing at all to do with the story . the main villain and a religious sect call the necromongers and be pitch to u a the supreme evil in the universe and a force that will destroy all human life wherever it find ( which make you wonder why they have wife ) . problem be and they seem to be more interested in a pedestrian and boring power struggle for their throne than in carry out their holy mission . the movie drop you right into the middle of this mess i suppose that it be mean to be an intriguing way to start the movie but after the first 30 minute you will still be scratch your head try to figure what the heck go on . if you haven not see pitch black and then you would not understand a good half of the movie anyway . but the real problem with this thing be the utter and unrelenting darkness of the whole thing all the character that exhibit any kind of humanity be kill and leave u only with the cardboard villains or the cardboard hero who mouth insipid and repellent line like you keep what you kill which and from the last shot and appear to be some sort of moral twohy be try to teach u . there never any real suspense or sense that riddick be in danger he just an indestructible cypher who you know will win the big showdown against the evil leader in the end . to make it even worse and this be a director cut which in this case mean that you get a movie that be even more boring than the theatrical release . a waste of money to make and and a waste of money to watch .
