The Chronicles of Riddick (2004)
The most hyped waste of money ever
Though you have a huge budget for computer animation and the look of the movie is really quite good. The two downfalls of this movie are the horrible script and the bad acting. First the script is horrible because David Twohy has no idea what he is doing when it comes to writing, especially when it comes to writing a story that is supposed to be "epic". As you were watching it you see that Mr. Twohy is trying to make the history of the Riddick universe this large-scale and detailed story, with how different races interact with each other, like Star Wars, or Star Trek and Lord of the Rings. The only difference between this movie and those is this movie sucked and the story plays out like it was written by 1000 monkeys on a 1000 typewriters only instead of waiting a thousand years for Shakespeare they took the first story written. Like the NecroMongers, Loosely translated means people who like Death, or how the Underverse is the opposite of the Universe, and so on. Now that is what I call subtle writing. These innuendos are too easy to figure out that it takes you out of the rest of the badly written story. The story is full of holes in the plot that make this a very bad movie, like when Kyra dies and Riddick is sad over her death for like two seconds before he completely forgets about her and leaves her corpse lying there while he sits on the throne as the new Lord Marshal. So they have him fighting off this evil race of people that is going around killing everyone and thing in their way and when he finally kills their leader instead of stopping them as a threat he becomes their leader. Its like Winston Churchill leading the Nazis after the death of Hitler, it doesn't make sense. The writing in this movie is so amateurish it's embarrassing for David Twohy. And my writing in here may also be amateurish but i'm not writing a multimillion dollar movie. And when you get actors such as Colm Feore, Judi Dench, and even Thandie Newton and Karl Urban to act in this the story should not be this below average. You can tell that Judi Dench and Colm Feore were just there for the money because their performances (though the best in the movie) were hard to watch because you know how well they can act and to see them in this is like watching a Corvette being entered into a demolition derby. You can see that their performances are uninspired and you don't blame them. I will still watch any movie with those actors. But the person doing their absolute best job acting in the movie was Vin Diesel and for him it was really good, but even when compared to Ben Affleck, Vin Diesel's acting is horrible. This movie like all Vin Diesel movies makes you wonder who is watching them to make them this popular. And it's no wonder that Vins character in Saving Private Ryan was the first to go, save the best for last. This movie and every copy of it should be burned to save future generations of wasting 2 hours of their life on such absolute mind-numbing crap.

Worst Movie Ever
About extreme sports only pretty much every one in the movie is bad at skating, blading, etc. and everyone is a bad actor and when you mix bad acting with a horrible script and even worse graphics it makes you wonder why the spent the money to make this in the first place. The story is like a bad Superman story mixed with bad extreme sports. The tricks they pull off in this movie are no more spectacular than the tricks you can see at your local skate park when you go there and watch the people who are just learning to skate. So in their main focus of this movie the mix the mark completely and if you want a story about skateboarding watch the Lords of Dogtown.
