Chronicles of Riddick (Spoilers)

[The Goblin King]

I saw this movie yesterday. It was pretty cool. Yeah, I thought the running from the sun thing was a little sketchy too. I guess it wouldn't have been as cool for everyone to suit up and then run across the lava fields.

"I will kill you with my little teacup" almost made it into my .sig

All in all, I really enjoyed the movie. It felt like it was savagely edited, so I'm really looking forward to the extra 50 minutes of film. It's not a good film, but it's certainly a fun film.

I do feel that there were some major Missed Opportunities:

- I really wanted to see him kill some random guy and feed it to the Hell-Dog to befriend it. Then, wearing an "innocent" prisoner's blood, he could say his "it's an animal thing" line. This would also be an [Evil] act, and the poor character needs a few more of those to justify his anti-heroic dialogue.

- The name Kira is tougher than JACK ?!?

- Lady Macbeth meets Kira: that would have been fun. They're both quite bloodthirsty little ladies.

- "Riddick, what is best in life?"

As a summer flick I throughly enjoyed CoR. It was a cross between "Conan in Space" and "40K the Movie"

Riddick was very much a Conanesque figure, though not as much a womanizer.

The entire setting of the movie seemed pulled from WH40K, just replace Necromongers with Chaos and God with Emperor and it would have been complete.
