The intro of the film was Riddick narrating why and how he got on this new planet because the previous film he became emperor of an army and he won but then suddenly wounded up deserted on a planet. As soon as I saw commercials for this film I was thinking that it better be explained of the transition from planet to planet. And it is explained pretty well.
I think there was more action in Riddick Rule the Dark film than the previous films. The violence is more mature than the other two. This film also really shows that Riddick isn't immortal when he almost seems like a god in the other two films. I was surprised to see him struggle as much as he did. I believe that adds to his character it shows there is more to him than his race being so overpowering to the universe.
One of my favorite things about this film was the film was directed by the same guy whose done all the other films and you can tell. If the director changed I would fear how different this movie would have been.
Riddick Rule the Dark moves at a steady pace then pressure and action moves faster about half way and accelerates the rest of the way.
The whole setting to Pitch Black when there's these people hunting for Riddick and there in a desert setting and hiding in like a shack, its the same with this new film. It also made me relate the new characters to the ones from Pitch Black. This Riddick film is very smart with making the actions and traps different than Pitch Black otherwise it wouldn't be as enjoyable.
This film is rated R, its very violent and there is some nudity. R is for Riddick.
Overall I did like the film. Good battle scenes, character development, and good animation. Even though the setting and characters reflected those of Pitch Black its still a different film and stands well on its own.
