Before this thread turns into a train wreck, I'll set it straight.

Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay is the prequel to Pitch Black (Game)

Pitch Black

Riddick: Dark Fury is the gap between Pitch black and Chronicles (Animated Video)

Chronicles of Riddick is the sequel

Riddick is not a prequel, and despite what the nerds say, Vin Diesel is not a terrible actor. I didn't like XXX at all, but that wasn't entirely his fault. He was mediocre in Saving Private Ryan, but who cares he was just cannon fodder.

He was very good in Boiler Room, and pretty decent in Pitch Black. Granted, in Pitch Black all he had to do is sit there in the dark and say some monotone lines but still it worked. This doesn't mean he can't act, it means that was his interpretation of the character. Fast and the Furious might have been a shitty movie, but Vin wasn't bad in it.

Not to mention I respect the guy for being somewhat intelligent, which is a nice change from most of Hollywood today.
