Critics Consensus: Broken City

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Broken City a new Mark Wahlberg movie!

There's bad Mark Wahlberg movies and theirs Mark Wahlberg movies that are so bad you want to forget them entirely (Max Payne, The Happening). I have good news and bad news. Broken City is not that. But Broken City is still dog crap.
Toronto Star thought that the movie was so bad that the actors agents must have been drunk accepting this. Why Broken City is forgettable, has poor writing and is constantly action and no story. If you like that, you deserve a slap in the face.
Overall do not see this movie. Trust me it's one of those Bargain Bin movies you see 3 years later.
Broken City is rated R.

Critics Consensus: Mama

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Mama a new horror movie that as cliche written all over it. But is still getting good reviews.
Guillermo Del Toro is one hella smart guy. Unfortunately he lacks in producing because his latest movie Mama about some demon kids living the woods has a 62%. That's not horrible but I think he's putting all his attention into Pacific Rim nowadays.
The only reason that Mama is getting good reviews is that it is cliche as The New York Times stated but manages not to scare with gore but to scare with other tactics. Some other movies have done this (House At The End Of The Street) but it has not really worked. Glad to see that Mama can change the game.
Overall see this movie. 
Mama is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus: The Last Stand

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is The Last Stand Arnold Schwarzenegger's new movie!
The Last Stand is aptly named. If it fails at the box office it will be Arnold Schwarzenegger's last stand. If you have been under a rock for twenty years but still know who Arnold is, he was involved in a affair, became governer and started his movie career back. Wow.
The Last Stand stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Johnny Knoxville is about a sherrif against a drug cartel. As ReviewsOnTheRun explained it is a weak movie in Schwarznenegger terms but it's nice to see him back. Even if he is a dick.
Overall only see this movie if you want to. 
'The Last Stand is rated R.
