Critics Consensus: The Expendables 2

NOTE: Sparkle will be covered on Monday.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is The Expendables 2.
The Expendables was a big success with over just 200 million in sales. Unfortunately the movie was not the best getting a 40% on Rotten Tomatoes. The sequel is barely better then mediocre probably because there is more to it than explosions. Entertainment Weekly called the movie fun in a good way and so did the New York Post. The movie is still explosion after explosion though which explains it's 53 metascore.
Overall see this movie with your buddies if your 12, a Chuck Norris fan, or lastly you love explosions but if you are not one of the three you are not applicable.

The Expendables 2 is rated R.

Critics Consensus: Para-Norman

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Para-Norman a new animated film.
Most people have not heard of LAIKA but have heard of their movies. They were put in fame when Coraline was nominated for an Oscar and now they might get another one. Like Coraline this one is about spooky spirits and about a little child trying to save his town form unwelcome zombies. What the critics like about this movie is that it is animated beautifully,it's funny,it's mature and lastly it is fun to watch. Keep in note that big name critics like The New York Times and Variety gave it great scores. While the plot is a bit basic and is the reason it got negative response from Doddle the movie overall is lot's of fun.
Overall you should go see this movie. You will love it and your kids will love it.

Para-Norman is rated PG.
