| 1 | * AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Diaz misses when he shoots at the jackal and later lies that it is dead. Was that simple bad marksmanship, a PetTheDog moment, or a calculating ploy to leave a predator out there to pick off more of his partners and leave a bigger share of the bounty for himself? |
| 2 | * BrokenBase: Fans are split over the film's return to its roots with a story similar to ''Film/PitchBlack'', with some welcoming this decision and others feeling that they shouldn't have scrapped the developments that ''Film/TheChroniclesOfRiddick'' made to the plot. |
| 3 | * ItsTheSameNowItSucks: This installment returns to its roots to the point where some criticize it for being a shameless remake of ''Film/PitchBlack''. |
| 4 | * EnsembleDarkhorse: The films two female characters, Dahl and Santana's Prisoner (WordOfGod says her real name is K.L. Sunhill) racked up quite a bit of popularity. In Dahl's case, it's because she proved to be such a badass. In Sunhill's case, it's because she's mainly seen as TheWoobie due to being held prisoner (where she was possibly abused and assaulted) before given a HopeSpot that leads to her death. |
| 5 | * {{Narm}}: |
| 6 | ** The sentry bot's beeping sounds like some dubstep beat. |
| 7 | ** Dahl is impossible to take seriously. When she isn't spewing corny lines from her mouth, she's swearing for absolutely no reason, which just makes her sound even more silly. |
| 8 | ** Riddick's ability to predict the future is frankly ridiculous in this film. |
| 9 | * RetroactiveRecognition: [[Series/{{Fargo}} Mike Milligan moonlights as a space merc! How apropos.]] |
| 10 | * TheScrappy: While Santana is intended to be [[HateSink despised because of his despicable behavior and heinous deeds]], a good number of people instead dislike him for being a [[FlatCharacter one-dimensional]] Straw Character that feels more like a caricature of a HateSink, especially when compared to the other villains in the Riddick universe. |
| 11 | * {{Squick}}: After Riddick slices open a giant mud scorpion's stomach, the scorpion shrugs off the wound ''and starts eating its intestines off the ground''. Even Riddick looked disgusted by it. |
| 12 | * TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Vargas gets some good TheSmartGuy and CasualDangerDialogue moments and is one of the least ruthless mercenaries, but [[spoiler:he is bitten and poisoned by a mud demon within a couple minutes of the EnemyMine team-up between Riddick and the mercenaries, without getting any real chance to interact with Riddick or use his skills to help him]]. |
