Critics Consensus: Dynasty Warriors 7: Empires

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new Dynasty Warriors game!

Sometimes when there is a video game drought you just gotta cover that Dynasty Warriors game that comes out every week. Dynasty Warriors has gotten less and less stellar according to critics with each installment and no offense to Dynasty Warriors fans reading this blog, this is another one of those.

Push Square said that the role playing mechanics and hack and slash gameplay is fun, and IGN said that this would be an okay installment for fans but as the problem with every Dynasty Warriors game is that it is way too repetitive.

Only get this game if you wanna.

Dynasty Warriors Empires is rated T.

My Personal Opinion:Oscars 2013

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is me judging The Oscars.

Be Warned! Here is where I will ramble and rant about The 2013 Oscars. 
First of all Seth Macfarlane was an OK host. He made some funny jokes and I feel that if I say that I liked anything from his catalog would be offensive to some people. He was funny but not funny enough.
2nd of all I'm happy that Argo won best picture. I feel like either Amour or Beasts Of The Southern Wild should have won to go in a more indie direction which most of the recent Oscars have done.
3rd of all Jennifer Lawrence should not have won. Why? Well she's an amazing actor however she is going to have other chances in her life where she is eligible for an Oscar. Give it to Emmanuelle Riva. No offense but 92 year old's might not be nominated for another one because well their dead.
4th of all Daniel Day Lewis I was happy with, but I feel like every movie should have one something. Nothing big for Beasts Of The Southern Wild or Zero Dark Thirty. What the hell is this?
5th of all and lastly they wasted too much time. I Can See Your Boobs? Not only offensive but stupid and non-resourceful as well. That's a joke you put in Family Guy or the Cleveland Show, Seth.

Critics Consensus: Assassin's Creed 3: The Tyranny Of George Washington-Infamy

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Assassin's Creed DLC.

Assassin's Creed 3 was not a bad game but just a disappointment. You could not play as Connor until 11 hours in! Nerd Rage. Anyway Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation was also a disappointment. And then they announce Assassin's Creed 3 DLC. Please don't screw it up Ubisoft please don't- (Looks at Metacritic Score) GOD DA-

Console Monster said that the plot did not make any sense and was too minimal to the gameplay,and Eurogamer complained about how there was no vast open world and little AI like birds and bears. It's fun and  stuff I guess just only for a fan.

Overall only get this game if you wanna.

Assassins Creed 3: The Tyranny Of King Washington is rated M.

Critics Consensus: Snitch

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new movie with The Rock.

I had a joke I told my friends that you know when you are an idiot when you trip over a rock and sue it and the rock wins. Then one of my friends suggested that it depended on which type of rock you trip over. A regular piece of sediment from a sidewalk or the action movie superstar The Rock. He would probably win because he can buy all these lawyers from all these generic movies he makes and gets paid for.

Snitch. Nothing too new or interesting. It's better than most generic "OMMA GOD MY SONS GOT DA DRUGS AND NOW IMMMA GONNA BE IN THE SLAMMER IF I DONT KILL THESE BADDIES". But it's slightly better than that as critic from ReviewsOnTheRun Scott C Jones said.

Overall do not see this movie.

Snitch is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus: Bless Me Ultima

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Bless Me Ultima a new drama movie based off a controversial Mexican novel.

To be honest when I saw the trailer for Bless Me Ultima. I was a little bit confused. It looked like one of those movies that comes out of nowhere and wins a bunch of Oscars. Was I unaware of that? I looked at all the nominations. Then I realized it's based off a controversial Mexican novel and too be honest I knew it would be the only good movie coming out this week. The trailer looked like it was too good to be true.

The Hollywood Reporter said that this movie would please moviegoers, Christian Science Monitor praised the scene pacing and writing saying that it might be a tearjerker, and the movie itself is gripping. The only problem is that the movie is too short a rare problem of films which are 2-2 and a half hours long.

Overall see this movie.

Bless Me Ultima is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus: Dark Skies

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new horror movie from the creators of Paranormal Activity and Insidious. Both of those aren't very good so...

"From the creators of Paranormal Activity" is the new tagline for every movie out there. They probably are not lying it's just they probably mean the guy who was the brother of the guy who wrote the movie or the janitor for the stages. Trust me. I knew this when I saw the tagline for Space Chimps.

This movie is not horrible with a 31% because nothing is worse than A Good Day To Die Hard, Movie 43 or any other piece of crap that came out in the past few weeks. The New York Post called it a little scary, and Alfonso Duralde said that the script was smart, but the acting fails on every level and you have to genuinely be a horror movie buff to enjoy this.

Overall only see this if you want to.

Dark Skies is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus: Crysis 3

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new Crysis game.

Well Crysis 3 is out. While I'm happy to see the Crysis series go mainstream with it's 3rd installment similar to how Dead Space became popular when it's third installment came out. Crysis 3 is a technological standpoint of how games have improved with amazing graphics.

However similar to Dead Space 3, the title is not worth the hype.

Scott C. Jones from ReviewsOnTheRun complained about the plot and gameplay mechanics and criticizing the game's mechanics and how the defualt weapon is the bow and arrow. Also Videogamer complained about the boring story that does not make any sense for newcomers. Crysis 3 is OK... It's fun and the multiplayer is good but it has a giant change of pace in the series for the worst of it.

Overall only get this game if you want to.

Crysis 3 is rated M.

Critics Consensus: Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new Metal Gear Rising game!

We're at another game that was stuck in development hell for a long time. Originally announced in 2009 as a different game and then was switched from Kojima Productions developing it to Platinum Games. It's finally here. Let's hope this goes like the Gearbox route (one company working on two games and putting more effort into one of the games resulting in one too be total crap while the other one is AMAZING!

Luckily the game shines in all fronts. With a sword that can slice through anything and anyone Platinum Games had to put amazing physics in this game. They did because The Guardian said that the game was a technical masterpiece. games(TM) called it one of the best action titles of this generation and Cheat Code Central praised the gameplay. Ya the plot is gonna be like DMC: Devil May Cry. You probably will not care about it and it will not make sense. But when you are chopping guy's arms off like a weedwhacker cutting weeds it's hard to care about the plot.

Overall get this game.

Metal Gear Rising Revengeance is rated M.

My Personal Opinion: Warm Bodies

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is me reviewing Warm Bodies.

Score: 8.5 out of 10

To be honest here,I really hated Life Of Pi. It's not a bad movie it's just that if you have read the book, the movie does not change anything and is extremely boring. I read the book Warm Bodies before seeing the movie Warm Bodies and well good thing I did that. It's made way differently than the book and I say this in the best way possible. The direction and writing is strong too. My only riff with the movie is that someone's memories are in a first person perspective. Damn that's confusing.

Critics Consensus:Beautiful Creatures

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a Beautiful Creatures a new movie based off the hit book.

I have some friends who have read the book Beautiful Creatures. When they heard it was gonna be a movie they were wild with excitement. However when the trailer came out their expectations dropped like a pencil in chili. Luckily Beautiful Creatures is not horrible. It's actually the best movie of this week. But that's like saying that this turd doesn't smell as bad as the other one. (A Good Day To Die Hard you're a turd)

It's nicely cast as The Hollywood Reporter reported but the film itself is unentertaining and too long as critics such as Rolling Stone,WaffleMovies.com,New York Magazine and Christian Science Monitor said. So if you want to see this movie here's some good news. It's not as bad as Twilight.

Overall only see this movie if you want to.

Beautiful Creatures is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus: A Good Day To Die Hard

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new Die Hard movie.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Is the sound that fans said when the director for the last Die Hard movie was announced. It was also a PG-13 movie in which you can't say motherf*cker which you need to say in a Die Hard movie. Fans were ready to be disappointed. A Good Day To Die Hard's director was announced a year ago and fans had an even longer NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Why? This director (John Moore) directed Max Payne. That is known as one of the worst films of all time. 
Sadly, A Good Day To Die Hard will be known as one of the most disappointing sequels of all time. I do not even want to explain how Badass Digest said that it sucked or that ReviewsOnTheRun's Ben Bolea said that the film was repetitive and made by stupid people for stupid people. Or that Village Voice said The movie is constructed like a window some kid broke and then tried to glue back together. I do not have words to explain my hatred for John Moore. Thanks for ruining a franchise.
Overall do not see this movie.
A Good Day To Die Hard (Sniff) is rated R.

Critics Consensus: Aliens: Colonial Marines

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Aliens: Colonial Marines a new game based off the Aliens franchise by Gearbox the creators of Borderlands. Oooh.

Gearbox Software is an amazing company. However they have their faults. For instance taking on multiple projects at a time (Sambi De Amigo and Borderlands) and (Duke Nukem Forever, Borderlands-2). Well when you put a lot of focus on one game and not on the other it's kind of like school. You will get a bad grade.

50-Metacritic,40-Game Informer, 4.5-IGN,30-Eurogamer. I wish I was joking. This game is lower rated than Duke Nukem Forever. Yep I said it. The physics are horrible as SmoshGames presented in Nope Or Dope., 3DJuegos hated the repetitive gameplay, and Machinima said that it was the biggest disappointment of the year. 

Overall do not get this game. The only redeeming quality is the OK Multiplayer.

Aliens:Colonial Marines is rated M.

Critics Consensus: Fire Emblem: Awakening

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new Fire Emblem game.

Fire Emblem: Awakening is a noticeable release for any Nintendo 3DS owner. Why? Well it was originally supposed to be released as a launch title for the 3DS back in 2011 then was delayed to early 2012 and was delayed another year to Q1 2013. It's finally out of development hell and surprisingly it has a 91 on Metacritic. That means universal acclaim.
Fire Emblem: Awakening is so good that there has not been a single negative review for it. Not even a review that is an 8.0! It was called the reason to buy a 3DS from The Escapist, IGN said that it had the best production value for a 3DS game yet, and NintendoWorldReport praised the fluid gameplay and not encountering a single glitch or bug in the whole game. Lastly GamesBeat praised the writing.
Overall I think you should buy this game. If your'e birthday is coming up and you do not have a 3DS. Well it's pretty obvious the first game you should purchase.
Fire Emblem :Awakening is rated T.

Critics Consensus: Identity Thief

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Identity Thief a new comedy based around identity thieves.

Identity Thief is truly ironic. I'm just gonna say it's a bad movie then and there and we can laugh about what the critics say later. Why Identity Thief is truly ironic is because it's story revolves around Melissa McCarthy as Sandy Bigelow Patterson who is an Identity Thief. Bigelow is the last name of the director of Zero Dark Thirty and The Hurt Locker. Those movies are far superior than this piece of crap.
Identity Thief was called stupid by Salon.com and Sloppy from the Toronto Star. ReviewsOnTheRun complained about how the film is so repetitive with it's scenes and how there is usually a good joke every fifteen minutes. If i were to watch Identity Thief I would watch it with a rewind button.
Overall do not see this movie.
Identity Thief is rated R. 

Critics Consensus: Side Effects

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Side Effects a new movie with Chaning Tatum and guess what? He doesn't take his shirt off!

Side Effects has been under a lot of popularity. It has Chaning Tatum. Yes that is one thing. Though the other is that it is director Steven Soderberg's last feature film. As rumored. Sometimes things like these disappoint  Let's hope Side Effects does not have that many Side Effects to making a weak last attempt for a movie.

Luckily Side Effects only has one side effect as Steve Zaragoza from The New Movie Thing Show said. "The first 10 minutes loll and are boring." Luckily it is not more than ten minutes because Side Effects is getting amazing reviews from critics for it's great writing and brilliant acting. Especially with Chaning Tatum who is now breaking the stereotype of his roles.

Overall see this movie. You have too.

Side Effects is rated R.

Critics Consensus: Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time the revival of the Sly Cooper franchise.

Revivals of dead franchises. We got those with Sly Cooper:Thieves In Time. Sly Cooper was a hit on the Playstation 2 so Sly fans are excited and have been for a while. But is it worth the hype. Sadly Sly Cooper is not worth the hype. But will it be able to redeem itself with a 75 on Metacritic (if it got any lower it would be considered mediocre on the website) That is the question.
Luckily the gripes are few and far between but big. GamesBeat complained about the load times,Gaming Nexus about the glitches, and the biggest complaint was bad level design pacing which Polygon said was the reason they gave it such a low score (6.0). However Sly Cooper will be fun to fans of the series and it is only 40$ so you really can not complain too much.
Overall only get this game if you are fans of the series because this weeks Dead Space 3 would probably be a better bang for your buck.
Sky Cooper: Thieves In Time is rated E10+

Critics Consensus: Dead Space 3

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Dead Space 3.

Dead Space is becoming the new Assassin's Creed. Originally a game that was a sleeper hit and sold just enough to make a sequel. People then find the second game at a Gamestop for sale or something like that and then realized "Wow! This is a great franchise!
Gaming Nexus praised the scares and gripping gameplay. Speaking of gameplay Joystiq called it amazing as well as Multiplayer.it. The audio is amazing supplying the great jump scares with suspicious sounds that make you be leery about what is around the corner and the graphics also supply to the scares. When tentacles start coming out of a decapitated man and it looks scary it is also thanks to the great graphics. The only riffs on Dead Space 3 are the co-op which is not like the main story and is pretty short and the plot which is kind of a mess. 
Overall get this game. Too bad if you pee in you pants.
Dead Space 3 is rated M.

Critics Consensus: Stand Up Guys

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Stand Up Guys with Christopher Walken,Al Pacino, and Alan Arkin.

It's funny that so many reboots have been coming out in the past few months. Here's a Stand Up Guys, here's a Bullet To The Head and Here's a The Last Stand. Unlike those other movies The Last Stand is a reboot of four people. Wow.

The bad news about this movie is that it is a bad movie which was pretty much expected. The good news is that it might be a good time on Late night cable. But to be honest you should do better things in your life than watch this movie as ReviewsOnTheRun,Kaplan Vs. Kaplan and am NewYork explained.

Overall do not see this movie. 

Stand Up Guys is rated R.

Critics Consensus: Bullet To The Head

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Bullet To The Head Sylvester Stallone's new movie.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's comeback failed miserably at the box office with a 9# at the box office and then dropped to 16#. Schwarznegger has had more box office successes than Stallone but since his last movie who knows? Maybe things might switch around.
Bullet To The Head is a bad movie. The good thing is unlike The Last Stand is that it is a bad movie, but it's a good time. For example Jeremy Jahns said that it brought back his love for Stallone even though it has a 48% on Rotten Tomatoes. It's just a matinee a movie or  a movie you see while you are either drunk or lastly movie hopping.
Overall only see Bullet To The Head if you want to.
Bullet To The Head is rated R.

Critics Consensus: Warm Bodies

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Warm Bodies the new movie based off the hit book.

Some people have been excited for Warm Bodies and some people have been really skeptical. It's probably because the plot of this movie is kind of like Shaun Of The Dead mixed with Twilight. The good thing is that it has one thing going for it that Twilight does not. Humor.
Warm Bodies was only made with a small budget and does not have that many big name actors which is really surprising since it is based off a book. However many critics liked that aspect of that saying that it makes the movie different from all the other adaptations as Elliot Morgan from The New Movie Thing Show said. However there are still skeptical people. (San Francisco Chronicle) who stated that the first 15 minutes were better then the 85 rest.
Overall only see this movie if you want to and if you're girlfriend is bringing you, go. It's  not as bad as it seems.
Warm Bodies is rated PG-13.
