I've been meaning to give my thoughts.
I think I liked the movie cut better than the director's cut. The director's cut made Riddick into a magical being.... and I didn't like that.
Still an ok movie, and I hope there's a seuel and we get away from the magic, but it was a lot easier for me to empathize with Ridick when he was just an escaped convict fighting for his life on an alien planet. Now he's infused with the "fury of his entire race" which gives him the ability to drop 20 bad guys just by screaming. Whatever.
The Chronicles of Riddick *spoilers* - Someone was smoking something strong.*sp

Yeah, that was REALLY bad.

The game I mentioned sets up a lot of Riddick's past.
I strongly recommend if you like the character you get the game and play it. I believe its out for PC now (or soon?).
It will piss you off about Johns' portrayal and death in Pitch Black though.

Another thing:
At the end, the head guy is about to get wacked from two places at once. I think he purposely chose to be killed by Riddick, instead of his Lieutenant... because the head guy knew whoever killed him would be in charge, and he didn't want that to be the traitor who listens too much to his bitch wife. That's kind of cool, I guess.

I'm anxious to hear what you guys take away from Escape From Butcher Bay and how it affects your outlook on the movies.
