I wouldn't really call Pitch Black a horror movie, it was more scifi with horror elements.

Noir isn't necessarily Dectective, but that was one of the main gists of it. Perhaps someone else can explain the genre better? Perhaps the forum moderator, Mastadge?
hate to chime in late but here is the official Film Noir stlye....in a nut shell
1. A femme Fatal... some sort of femal character that is usually the cause of conflict or something of that nature
2. Urban setting. Usually in a city, city outskirts.
3. Dark Ending. Usually leaves off with the veiwer not feeling good.
Chinatown for ex.
takes place in San Fran and revolvs around the mysteries of a woman and her role with the villian. At the end she gets bullet to the head in a timeless "shot" (no pup intended)
Riddick...probably not a film noir. Like stated earlier, sci-fi horror but very very light horror.

No, she was a fine character. Keep in mind that there's several years between stories.
There was supposed to be a SciFi miniseries or limited series that takes place inbetween PB and CoR

I really liked her character also.
If the 2 remaining sequels DO get made... anyone care to speculate on where they think the story will go?

I have a feeling that she will come back. Some things that were talked about in the novelization, (There's a section included on the necromongers in the back) gives me the impression that Riddick might be able to bring her back.

Do you think that Riddick will still stay as leader of the Necromongers?

I have no idea. Probably, at least for the time being, but I have the feeling that by movie 3, he'll be on the run again, or something drastic.
C'mon, he's too cool to be in charge of something like that. He's better as a running guy. I would bet that he'll be forced out or have people try and kill him, which will put him on the run again.
I should really pick up this movie soon.

Agreed, it's a much more satisfying film with the director's cut.
