The Riddick films did not get outstanding reviews, people were expecting a soap opera because it's sci-fi when it's an action movie in a sci-fi setting. However, I don't expect epic space opera in an action movie or for the good guys to win in a setting where the protagonist is essentially a Chaotic Evil assassin who is the only one with the interpersonal skills to not be a total dick in a setting where everyone is evil. Probably why his name is Riddick, he gets rid of dicks. To me he serves as a scourge punishing people that deserve it and in the end doing something good in the process but he's no hero, evil as hell and can kill you with his teacup so he has no reason to speak much when it's what his fighting skills say upside your cranium and he fucking kills you.

New sequel, don't expect space opera. The setting can be off-putting because of its underlying macabre and grotesque society bereft of anything pleasant, if you're looking for good guys to cheer for you're watching the wrong movie so don't watch what you're not going to like to write bad reviews about it because films don't cater to your liking and it's not about what you like every time.
