I'm all for it. Love the Riddick franchise, so fun.

Furya? Seems a little late to try to ride the Furiosa hype, but I'm always down for more Riddick.

To be fair, the Furya sequel was planned long before Fury Road was even out. But Fast and Furious was in full swing, so it sat on the back burner forever.

Also to be fair, the Chronicles of Riddick named Riddick's home planet Furya before either new Mad Max movie was even being written.

I had no idea! That's pretty interesting, and also slightly annoying since I'd much rather have more Riddick instead of Fast and Furious 25 through 89: This Time It's Even More Furiouser™.

Damn, I don't remember shit about this franchise. Time for a rewatch, I suppose.

First 2 are classic grand scifi and really among my favorite space movies and then there is a third movie.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Hey the third was a good enough retread of the first, all up until the part where Riddick’s hot bod can apparently cure lesbianism.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The only good movies were the first two, that last one was straight assssss

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There was a third movie? Huh, TIL

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's just called "Riddick" and it's real fuckin' boring.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Good to know I didn't miss anything then.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I thought the ending was pretty good. Karl Urban was in it too, right?

So far, nothing beats or even compares to Pitch Black. Dark Fury does a solid to empower the lore, however.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Pitch Black is on a different plane than Riddick films IMHO. I don't know anything about the intents of the production, but Pitch Black is just great standalone sci fi. Riddick movies felt like universe-dependent comic book movies always do, which is to say, different than the typical standalone sci fi.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

That's a fair assessment. With that being said, The Chronicles of Riddick is the most fun out of all of them.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Good or bad, I'm always down for more Riddick, those polished eyes are so shway.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Riddick, furdah boys

I like the Riddick movies but this guy has become a bit of a dull pain to watch and the allegations make it even worse.
