Those are my general critiques, specific story/plot realted complaints are numerous!

Dialouge? Character development? What the fuck kinda movie did you expect to see? Maybe you would be happier watching the Joy Luck Club and going and having tea next time.  The movie had a lot of ass kicking and a passable plot. They makes it the perfect action movie. |
Not the lack of character development but the teasing of the audience for it. The director shows some amazing stunt and then the guy/girl says something "cool", you think they might have an important role in the movie, but no, they just get lost in between flash frame action sequences that have little cohesive style or structure. The plot while it may be passable was totally overshadowed by the characters that were suppose to drive it. Most of the characters had or displayed godlike powers(the necromonger removing the soul), these characters traits were somewhat plot deadening. I mean when the main bad guy can rip a soul out of body I don't care if they are looking for a world to take over anymore.
I also have to admit I walked out of Riddick after an hour and half so I did not see the ending. Did Riddick kill everyone, or was everyone killed?
