Funny, I love both but prefer Chronicles of Riddick by a large margin. Not sure why but it just hits the spot. I think part of it has to do with Colm Feore who I've found exceptionally creepy since Stephen King's Storm of the Century. I also think Karl Urban is convincing in almost any roll and played his part very well. I only wish we'd have seen some brawling between him and Riddick, would have been a good match up.

I will agree that the "theatrical" version of CoR sucks; it was very rushed and choppy. The Director's Cut slows the pace some and adds a few deleted scenes which makes it more cohesive. If done right, it'll be a prefect trilogy, IMO (quadrilogy, if you count the animated Dark Fury....but it's about as rushed as the theatrical CoR!).

The constraints of a PG-13 strangled Chronicles of Riddick. Universal was spectacularly stupid to force an R rated franchise into PG-13 territory.
COR was awful, imo. Every scene just SCREAMED that it was filmed on a set, and the miniatures were just as apparent. None of the action was interesting, and most of the acting was over-the-top or just plain bad. The fact that a film like that followed up an excellent, tense, intriguing sci-fi like Pitch Black is a travesty.

Hmm, I always thought of Chronicles as being the more developed of the two, with Pitch being a more generic sci-fi, horror film. Kind of like the differences and progression of Mad Max and the later Road Warrior.
I've been hoping to see a sequel to Chronicles since the movie came out, and I've got high hopes for it. Then again, I also liked Thunderdome, so take it with a grain of salt.
