‘Never Back Down’ - crap movie
In a nutshell: Angry over daddy’s tragic death teenager boy solves all his problems and gets the (American) dream girl by beating up another jerk – what a pile of crap 
The story: Jake Taylor finds his way to deal with his personal issues by training martial arts sports, keeping in mind his ultimate goal: taking revenge on another high school boy who humiliated him in front of a crowd. Big surprise, he manages to become really good, kicks the shit out of the bad ass, gets his ex-girlfriend and eventually the respect he is seeking for.
Flickcritique says: In my personal opinion if you are pubertal, twelve years old or younger or borderline retarded, maybe because mummy was heavily on crack, when she was pregnant with you and/or cause she dropped you a couple of times when you were a small baby, then you might consider watching this movie. Otherwise just forget about it. It is a mystery to me how a good actor like Djimon Honsu (remember him being brilliant in “Blood Diamond”?) could waste his time and talent on this, playing the part of the martial arts teacher Jean Roqua. My guess is this is the outcome of a lost bet or something like this. Oh, almost forgot to mention, the rest of the actors seem to be people randomly picked from the street, maybe hobby actors at their best.
Conclusion: Karate Kid meets Bloodsport
Watch it if you liked: The Karate Kid (1984), The Karate Kid (1984), Bloodsport (1988)… dammit, you still reading! I guess you are really young and either of these titles rings a bell… ok, watch it if you liked The Fast and the Furious (2001) and/or xXx (2002) but keep in mind it’s not ‘that’ great

‘10,000 BC’ – another crappy movie
In a nutshell: Loser mammoth hunter finds his guts after his girlfriend was kidnapped.
The story: Mammoth hunter D’Leh suffers under the reputation of a man whose father was a failure. He gets his chance to show guts when his village gets raided by evil, Arabic looking (no stereotypes here) invaders, who enslave the survivors. Trailing the bad guys and the slave gang he goes on a dangerous journey that ultimately leads him to at what seems to be the capitol of a higher civilization, very much Aztec/Pharaoh-style. Once D’Leh made friends all he has to do at the climax of the flick it to challenge the god-emperor, a white man, big surprise, huh?
Flickcritique says: What a piece of s***** movie! Did you know that women 10,000 B.C. looked better then nowadays average overpaid, cocaine-sniffing 19 years old models? Perfectly shaved legs, styled up with make up, smiling in the day with their perfectly white teeth. Seriously, they were HOT. Mammoth hunter however seem to be huge Bob Marley fans, with their dreadlocks. And saber-toothed, two tons tigers are cuddly, if you just talk to them nicely. I could go on an on. But it ain’t worth it Lack of realism or a story, paired with poor acting skills makes this movie obsolete.
Conclusion: A crappy movie spiced up with average CGI effects. Not recommended
Watch it only if you really, really enjoyed: Alexander (2004), The Passion of the Christ (2004), Apocalypto (2006)
