An average movie

To be honest, except for Vin Diesel, I'm not sure that anyone was really dying to see yet another sequel involving Riddick. On top of that, it seems that Vin Diesel doesn't seem to be able to bring up some new material and keeps coming back with some sequels which is pretty disappointing (indeed, from the last 8 movies he made, 6 of them were sequels!). Anyway, I have to admit that Riddick is actually a pretty cool character so I still wanted to check it out. Well, eventually, this movie gave me pretty much the same feeling as its predecessors. I mean, it was not bad, it was even visually quite appealing and they definitely managed to create an intriguing world but, at the end of the day, it is still a B feature. Indeed, the plot was just too pedestrian, in fact, they pretty much used the same concept used in the first movie. Indeed, in 'Pitch Black', some huge monsters come at night and the characters have to fight for their survival releasing Riddick to help them. Here, exactly the same thing happens, except that the beasts come out when it is raining. To conclude, I'm not sure that this sequel was really needed but it was a decent watch and I guess it is worth a look if you like the genre.
