Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new comedy starring Melissa Mcarthy and Sandra Bullock!
Ok. Here's an interesting premise. The Heat stars the comedy star Melissa Mcarthy and not-usually a comedy star Sandra Bullock together in a buddy cop movie. And apparently they actually have good chemistry. Too bad the movie isn't amazing. The Heat has gotten just above mediocre reviews with a 65 on Rotten Tomatoes and a 60 on Metacritic. The duo has good chemistry as Denver Post explained but if only the script was a little bit better. Overall only see The Heat if you want to. The Heat is rated R.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new action movie starring Channing Tatum. Well let's have a party this has never happened before.
White House Down is under a lot of scrutiny due to it being the exact same (or close to it as Olympus Has Fallen) but now that the reviews have come in, White House Down has a lot more depth than I realized. Because of one thing. It does not take itself seriously.
Chaning Tatum and Jamie Foxx have actual comedic chemistry as the San Francisco Chronicle said. It's gonna be a fun movie like ReviewsOnTheRun stated but the only problem is that it's choppily edited. But hey it might be fun with your friends.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is me reviewing State Of Decay.
Ok. I'm gonna say something a little bit weird. I hated State Of Decay for the first hour. It felt dry,slow and not fun. But State Of Decay is like a coconut. It takes a while to open and then amazing stuff is in it. That is if you like coconuts. I felt that Undead Labs had done a really good job with the world and in a way it feels like GTA with zombies. The biggest problem with State Of Decay is the character development. The characters don't feel like real people and they don't even know what a zombie is. But I can move past that. State Of Decay is getting a 8.0 from me. State Of Decay is rated M.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a different thing on this blog I like to call One Of The Worst. This week it's Ride To Hell:Retribution.
Ride To Hell:Retribution was originally announced in 2008 for a 2009 release date. The game was a Hell's Angels sort of game about bikers. Then it was re-announced three months ago as Ride To Hell:Retribution and two other Ride To Hell games. But enough of a history lesson about donkey crap. Let's just laugh about how bad Ride To Hell is.
The developer's name Eutechnyx is unpronounceable.
The 1% next to the game? That's literally the game's Metacritic average (24).
EGM gave it a 5 out of 100 for horrible controls, bad graphics, tedious gameplay, and ear-piercing voice acting.
There's two more games in this horrible new franchise.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is my opinion on the new Monsters Inc!
I had really really low expectations for Monsters University. I feared it would be as crappy as Cars 2. It wasn't but I'm still not going to call it a Pixar classic for a number of reasons. First of all the plot is way too predictable. I already knew the ending when the movie started and that's because they have the horrible university theme. This is one of the worst ideas Pixar could face for a Monsters sequel but they did it anyway. The last reason why this is a classic is that it should have never been made. It's has it's charm and humour but I just found it a little bit dry.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the new Deadpool game!
Activision is known for making sub-par to crappy games. Yes they have good studios like Blizzard and Infinity Ward but the average online consensus is Activision just makes Call Of Duty and Skylanders over and over again and makes money. Deadpool however has a lot of promise. But is it good? Deadpool is not getting amazing reviews for one specific reason. The combat is repetitive and tedious as critics such as Gamereactor Sweden,Game Informer, and Polygon. If you can get past that, there's a lot to chew on here such as many many easter eggs and amazing humour. Overall only get this if you want to. Deadpool is rated M.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the movie adaptation of the book World War Z!
World War Z has had a very troubled life\series of events. The best selling book that took the zombie genre to the next level was supposed to be released way sooner than now (June 23 2013) but it faced countless reshoots and casting problems. Even the author of the book said the book had nothing to do with the movie.
Well now that World War Z is finally out what do critics think of it? Well first of all it's a mixed reviews movie weekend like Monsters University and The Bling Ring and World War Z applies itself to that. It has a 67 on Rotten Tomatoes and a 62 on Metacritic surprisingly but the problem is it's direction as The Playlist said. The movie is dramatic and CGI scenes are certainly eye candy it just feels like a TV Show. However it's a movie.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the new Monsters movie.
In 2000-2010 Pixar was killing it. Pixar is not killing it anymore but they can they step up with a new sequel? Let's crawl into the world of Monsters University. I've got good news. I've got bad news. The good news: Monsters University has been praised by various critics such as Movieline,Entertainment Weekly, and The Playlist for matching Monsters Inc's tone. It's charming and funny. However critics such as Slant Magazine,Austin Chronicle and ReviewsOnTheRun called it a lazy attempt at a Monsters sequel. Well you can't please everybody. Overall only see this movie of you want to.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is The Last Of Us the game you have all been waiting for.
You know what? Screw it. Screw Bioshock Infinite, Screw Metro:Last Light. Because NOTHING,NOTHING is close to the extraordinary experience of The Last Of Us. The Last Of Us is an instant Game Of The Year winner and here's why. (By the way I was joking about Metro and Bioshock. Don't send me death threats)
The Last Of Us is a completely character driven game. It has gotten more than fifty perfect scores and no mixed or negative reviews. In fact it's so good the beginning scene made me cry. Not the end scene like how The Walking Dead displayed it, THE BEGINNING SCENE. The game looks gorgeous as DarkZero said and let me just say you want to stare at those fallen skyscrapers all day. Yes you are probably getting tired of my rambling about how good this game is. Can I just mention it's the highest rated game of the year and the highest rated game on the Playstation 3.
Overall The Last Of Us is more than a must-buy. It will be remembered for eternity as one of the greatest games ever.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is The Bling Ring a new Spring Breakers esque drama with Emma Watson.
Unlike Spring Breakers The Bling Ring is actually based off a pretty absurd story. It's about a crowd of teenagers that steal belongings and money from celebrity homes. The world we live in right? Anyway let's see if this Emma Watson mobile is actually good. The Bling Ring is on the edge of being meh. It's acted well and entertaining as The New York Times said, but the movie itself has bad direction and could be taken the wrong way. Why? Pretty much every critic that hated this movie said that they should not care for the characters. Overall only see this movie if you want to. The Bling Ring is rated R.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new apocalypse comedy filled with tons of stars from James Franco to Seth Rogen!
This Is The End has had an amazing promotion adventure. They were selling tickets with free "munchies" on 420 day and the commercials made the movie look hilarious. However with horrible comedies like Grownups overcrowding the market will This Is The End become one of those? Surprisingly not. An 68 on Metacritic with an 86% to wrap it all in a fine pink little bow, This Is The End is one of the funniest movies this year. Even Rolling Stone said that you will think you are hallucinating that it is that good. Overall see this movie This Is The End is one of the best comedies of the year. Go see it. This Is The End is rated R.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is me reviewing Man Of Steel.
I was really really surprised when Man Of Steel turned over the rock with a 55%. I was thinking that it would skyrocket it into disaster. No Superman movies for a decade I thought. However I still saw Man Of Steel and I was blown away. It was dark and amazingly written. The chemistry between Amy Adams and Henry Cavill was not amazing but I was still taken in for the experience. Then Man Of Steel explodes into cliche territory. There's probably fourteen explosions every minute and trust me you will get tired of it. It's like creme brulee that looks amazing, tastes amazing, but unfortunately has a bad aftertaste. Man Of Steel is getting a 7.0 out of 10 from me.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the movie you have all been waiting for!
Man Of Steel is in an awkward position. It's set to be the strongest Superman movie in the franchise (no pun intended) but instead has a 56.50 average out of 100. That's a lower score than Superman Returns which was considered as a disappointment. However Man Of Steel isn't one. But why the 55?
It's because Man Of Steel packs everything into one luggage bag and it ends up exploding in the conveyor belt. Detroit News explained how the movie had a strong beginning and middle but the last forty-five minutes is mindless explosion after mindless explosion. It turns into a Transformers movie as ReviewsOnTheRun stated. It's not a bad movie. There are some really dark and tear-jerking scenes. It's just that everything falls flat at the end but with 60% of the movie being good, it's not a total disappointment.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is another zombie game but with a twist.
State Of Decay seems like another average zombie game with a really good title. Originally I was not going to cover this but State Of Decay did something amazing. They sold half a million copies in less than a week with NO ADVERTISING. Is that special or what? It's amazing the amount of things you can do in State Of Decay. It's elaborately designed,groundbreaking as IGN explained and ridiculously fun. State Of Decay is probably one of the best zombie games this year, if not the best. Overall get this game. State Of Decay is rated M.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new Animal Crossing. Yes the one we have all been waiting for!
Animal Crossing:New Leaf was originally announced as a 3DS launch title. After numerous delays it's finally here. There has not been an Animal Crossing game in years so can this work out? Animal Crossing:New Leaf has no points or levels. So it's pretty interesting it's getting such good reviews like an 87 on Metacritic, and an 100 from Game Revolution. It's charmful,fun,creative and everything else you could want from an Animal Crossing game. Overall get this game. Animal Crossing:New leaf is rated E.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new film by Joss Whedon based off a Shakespeare play.
Joss Whedon is an amazing genius. He's written everything from The Avengers to Cabin In The Woods. But here's something we did not know. While writing The Avengers he got a bunch of his actor and actress friends and shot this. A Shakespeare adaptation. And it only took 12 days to shoot.
Much Ado About Nothing is looking to be the indie movie of the summer. It's delightful as The Playlist suggested and the New York Post praised the comedic twist because it's actually funny. Thanks Joss Whedon.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new comedy about Google interns.
The Internship is about aspiring Google interns. It stars Owen Wilson,and Vince Vaughn an old comedy duo last seen in 2005's Wedding Crashers. So can The Internship reboot their career or drop it like Bing's fate? No. At times the Internship feels like a two hour advertisement as The New York Times said. It's somewhat funny as ReviewsOnTheRun stated but only for a couple of minutes and then it just sidetracks. This is a turn your brain off type of movie. Overall only see this if you really want to. The Internship is rated PG-13.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new original horror movie called The Purge. Or is it?
The Purge is about a twelve hour period each year were all crime is legal. During that time a family tries to hide. The trailer looked interesting but does that happen with this movie? Let's enter the dangerous Purge and find out.
The good news about The Purge is that the plot is original. Everything else is pure crap filled with bad acting and horror movie cliches as Reviews On The Run said. They even gave it a 0.25! OUT OF 10!! Time Out New York also called it repetitive.
Overall only see this movie if you really really want to.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new game from Insomniac!
A while ago, more appropriately an E3 ago, Insomniac announced a new game titled Overstrike. It was supposed to be a run and gun with a T rating. Then they threw it in the garbage and made Fuse. Maybe that's why Fuse has a 63. It has a few interesting mechanics like the Mag Shield which SmoshGames praised but the game is short and is only useful when you have friends over and beer. It's also a little bit tedious and gets really repetitive as Game Informer said. Overall if you can handle that give this a try. Fuse is rated M.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Remember Me Capcom's new IP.
Remember Me is insanely promising. It's a new IP from a struggling developer and it's got an amazing and original plot. However there is always the however's. And Remember Me has a lot of those. Remember Me tries too hard as IGN said. It constantly guides you during the climbing sections and the fighting is repetitive and tedious as VideoGamerTV said. The characters are also kind of absurd as Metro GameCentral said. The game is beautiful and would be immersive if they actually paid attention to their design. Overall only get this if you want to. Remember Me is rated M.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is me reviewing GRID 2.
I LOVE Codemasters. Well mostly love them. Operation Flashpoint and Leisure Suit Larry are not the best franchises but when it comes to racing Codemasters succeeds at all of it. That's why I was excited for GRID 2.
The game is pretty much all focused on drifting. Which is kind of bad and kind of good. The gameplay is mostly pitch perfect besides for the fact that the AI can get in the way between somethings. Trying to cause a chain reaction crash will not work like it did in DiRT 3 because this is entirely different. It's a fun and amazing game. It just should be open-world.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Now You See Me a new heist movie!
Now You See Me looks cool,interesting and promising. And then you realize it's made by the same guy who made Clash Of The Titans and the Transformer movies. Then your expectations fall from the Empire State Building.
Now You See Me's actors have barely any screen time, as ReviewsOnTheRun stated. It might be somewhat enjoyable as ReelViews said but I would not recommend it. It was called a rare form of bad by Ben Bolea so you might want to think about that. Overall see this if you really want to. Now You See Me is rated PG-13.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is M Night Shamalamadingdong's new movie. Why am I calling him that? You will see later in the post.
You wanna know what's funny? M Night Shyamalan's new movie looked promising. Too bad it's just Will Smith's son Jaden Smith running around from weird mutant creatures in action set pieces. I'm spoiling the movie for you because it's just that bad. That's all your seeing for two hours as Jeremy Jahns stated. It's really boring after twenty minutes. It's just a giant Vine but slightly different. If you don't trust me. Read Film.coms review. Overall After Earth is a movie about a destroyed Earth. This is one of the things that destroyed it. After Earth is rated PG-13.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is me reviewing Fast 6.
Fast & The Furious series is unique in many ways. The funny thing is you won’t think that. Every Fast & The Furious movie is better than the last. At least that’s what people say. For some reason Fast & The Furious 6 didn't catch on with me. It’s bombastic in every way. Even the subtitles fly across the screen like a torpedo. The acting is fine, but I feel like the actors were fighting uphill the whole time with the film’s dumb script. Everybody’s personality feels like a plastic potato too. I didn't hate Fast 6 too much. In fact it can be pretty entertaining. Just try to turn your brain off. At least the action set pieces are cool. I give Fast 6 a 5.5 out of 10.
