Story: Betrayed by his own kind and left for dead on a desolate planet, Riddick fights for survival against alien predators and becomes more powerful and dangerous than ever before. Soon bounty hunters from throughout the galaxy descend on Riddick only to find themselves pawns in his greater scheme for revenge.
With his enemies right where he wants them, Riddick unleashes a vicious attack of vengeance before returning to his home planet of Furya to save it from destruction.Left for dead on a sun-scorched planet, Riddick finds himself up against an alien race of predators. Activating an emergency beacon alerts two ships: one carrying a new breed of mercenary, the other captained by a man from Riddick's past.
 
Likes : Ok I can see why this film got poor ratings but I find its been under rated slightly because its still a good film, its start off at a point that you think what the hell am I watching as it does show a softer side to Riddick which is not the Riddick we know.
It does pick up midway through the film where it does get intense & we see Riddick at his best when the merc's turn up but then comes the sub plot that links to the first pitch black film which was good because it kind of steps up its game slightly.Vin Diesel's does his best to come off like the Riddick we all know but I think its a error on the writers part giving him a soft side which I think was a mistake for this character as furyans don't have softer sides.
 But there is a heartbreaking moment in the film & this is where you see Riddick completely loses it & goes physco you can see why he does, its after this moment when thing start to speed up in the film.Katee Sackhoff  is plays Dahl This is the usual role of a hard ass don't mess with type of woman of like the way we saw her in Battlestar Galactica, her character has this strong piss me off i'll screw up up attitude which works for her character in this film as you will see she is one tough woman.(cameo) Karl Urban returns in one scene as Vaako,you can see he was plotting something.
Matt Nable plays the sub plot of riddicks past your probaley recconise the name Boss Johns,his character seem to be on the planet after Riddick for other reason to which I can't say because it would give way the plot line,but he plays this role brilliantly.
Along with the other crew,  Dave Bautista as Diaz, Bokeem Woodbine as Moss, Raoul Trujillo as Lockspur, Conrad Pla as Vargas, Nolan Gerard Funk as Luna, Noah Danby as Nunez,Danny Blanco Hall as Falco, Andreas Apergis as Krone, it become a fight for survival as the hunters become the hunted.
There a few scene of sexual nudity special with the consort girls on the bed which I would say wow beautiful, there is a lot of funny moments as well on the planet involving Riddick. Which is probably why this film got slightly low ratings as they tried to give riddick's character a soft side showing that he become social & civilized since he been with the necromancer's as there leader.
I would go far as to say this was a good film to watch it has its moment but I wouldn't expect this film to be a perfect film as the first film because it does lack what the first film had so you might be disappointed in this film.
But it does depend on what you like as this film isn't going to be for everyone, but its still worth watching for the entertainment value of it.
Dislikes : Altho good I didn't like the fact they made Riddick soft because his character isn't supposed to be soft its supposed to be the hard ass, don't mess with type of guy you should be scared off, they made him look soft with curtain scenes this is probaley another reason why this film got poor ratings.
There was other scene with Riddick & Boss Johns which I noticed was iver a mistake in acting because there was a slight hesitation with one alien that came in to shot before he shot it, it looked like he has made a mistake on when to fire or forgot where the alien would be, thats what I did notice even the scene was fast paced.

Overall : Not the best Riddick film, but still worth watching for the entertainment value but you maybe disappointed because not everyone is going to like this film.
 
Rating: 3.9 out of 5 for entertainment / 6.8 out of 10 for storyline/concept.
