Finished this latest chapter of the Riddick saga by David Twohy.
The thing about Twohy's writing - he makes you absolutely believe that Riddick is capable of doing all the crazy shit he pulls off. He's a cunning animal with lethal strength and supreme intelligence. What a character.
Let's hope though that he's able to pull it off directorial-wise. The last chapter was terrible. Just because you can write doesn't mean you can direct.
Here, we've got a simple story. It's the same thing as the first act of the last film. Riddick is trapped on a planet with no escape. Bounty hunters land in hopes of capturing him. Riddick outsmarts them all and rides off in a ship.
Might be too simplistic for a film. Again, as with the other two installments, the story doesn't hold out much hope for finding a female audience. That was okay for the first film since it was a lower-budgeted movie. We'll see what happens with this third go-round.
