Yeah, some people don't like Vin Diesal but I find him to be very funny.

Not seen Riddick myself yet but will soon!...anyhoos..I always rent before I buy, then when I'm ready to buy there's usually been a price drop! (also, ask yourself if they'll bring out an 'enhanced' or extended' or 'extra bloody good' version later on to get more of your money...ye just never know sometimes......)

get Pitch Black, it's a cult classic. don't get Chronicles of Riddick, it's gash. a truly awful movie. terrible, terrible!

I prefer Pitch Black, because Chronicles is far too silly and fake...

I do like the story line. Race of Necromongers set out to destroy all planets. Pretty cool ships and stuff if you ask me.

None, they both sucked.

Same, though I still found Riddick to be enjoyable. And Jack was hot.

I like Riddick the best but pitch black is still good.

I think they're both so boring.

Then you've obviously fallen asleep right after the previews.

I liek both. Pitch Black is the better for simple reasons:

1: PB: Riddick is clearly defined as evil and dangerous, where through half the movie, you wonder if Riddick will pick all of them off and then leave.
CoR: Riddick is not defined as evil and comes across as a guy that doesn't play well with others. Dangerous, yes. But in the hero way. Not the serial killer way.

2: PB: The enviroment was a monster covered world where survival means getting to an escape ship or taking a chance that the monsters won't hunt you all down.
CoR: The enviroments are too immense. The film is too grand in scope and that hurts the focus of Riddick.

3: PB: The enemies Riddick is against are the montsers of the planet and the crew he's stranded with. They don't trust him not to kill him and teh monsters see him as lunch.
CoR: The enemy is an empire bent on galactic conquest, with the power to decimate worlds. Riddick is now no longer fighting for survival. He is Rambo In Space.

Both are good movies. Just I believe Pitch Black is a better film.
