The reviews on this movie are very positive. The Riddick character (imo) has a ton of potential. And David Twohy with a big budget...absolutely. I think he's quite talented (I liked the arrival and pitch black) and can't wait to see what he can do when he's cut loose.
So yeah...I'm all over this movie. I think this has the potential to really surprise people...it really does look good. Did you guys see the making of thing on the sci-fi channel? The set design in this is insanely impressive, and the scope of the movie looks enormous. And I'm all about big sci-fi space epics.

And the others that come in a thread about a Vin Diesel movie just to bitch about him or the movie need to get a life, skip the thread and just move along to the next one. But then again by the thread title the original poster seems to want everyone to bash it... but anyway....
I'm in. Pitch Black kicked ass and I think this will be a great 2 hours of mindless fun.

Why complain about Vin's delivery in this movie? Riddick is supposed to be a cold character that keeps his emotions and motivations in check.
BTW, the game Escape From Butcher Bay (prequel to both movies) is awesome - I can't believe that they made a licensed game that not only rocks but makes me excited to see the new movie.

I've enjoyed and appreciated just about everything David Twohy has done - I want to see this. But considering I don't go to the movies very often any more, it remains to be seen whether I'll see it in the theater.

Good interview with Vin. I had no idea he was a Dungeons & Dragons fanatic.

If somebody starts a thread praising Vin, I will not post in it.

Regarding Riddick, I don't really get the Diesel hate either. Something about big muscle bound guys. Kind of the same attitude Arnold and Stallone get from people who don't like their movies either.
But let's give Diesel a chance...listening to him in interviews, it really sounds like he has a lot more going on and that he does have a love for film. I'm unwilling to hate someone over Fast and Furious and XXX, which while stupid, were still mildly amusing. And quite frankly...excellent career moves.

On a side note, Escape From Butcher Bay is an awesome video game, better than one would expect from a video game based on a movie.
