Movies: Chronicles of Riddick

I went to this last night with Bill and Dave on free tickets which Bill connected us up with and am very glad I didn't pay to see it. The visual effects, fights and Diesel were all at least pretty good but the movie made no sense at so many points that it was incredible. Some people in the theatre were laughing outright at some of the most Riddickulous scenes. The one and only thing I really liked was a quote about a really hellish planet they are visiting. However, with the horrible writing of this movie I suddenly realized this morning they couldn't have come up with it on their own and I was right. I googled it and it turns out to be a stolen quote of General Philip Sheridan from the Civil War: "If I owned Texas and Hell, I would rent out Texas and live in Hell." **
