Critics Consensus: Army Of Two:The Devil's Cartel

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new Army Of Two game!
A while ago back in 2008 a game came out called Army Of Two. The game was only centered around co-op and it was insanely fun even though it was not a great game. There was a sequel to that game and for some reason Electronic Arts wants to make the series popular.
Well the game's fun but it is pretty much the same as the last Army of Two game as IGN explained and it has messy level design as Now Gamer said. All the hype that this game is getting for no apparent reason is for no apparent reason. Army of Two is an example of hard marketing. Wanting for something to sell.
Overall only get this game if you want to.
Army Of Two:The Devil's Cartel is rated M.

Critics Consensus: The Place Beyond The Pines

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new movie from the director of Blue Valentine.
From the director of Blue Valentine comes a movie about a dad's decision to save his son by committing a crime. Well heck ya. That sounds way better than HEY IM DA ROCK JOHNSON WE GOTTA SHOOT SOME NINJAS YA. Which is pretty much the other thing that is in theaters.
New York Observer praised it's originality,The Playlist praised it's brilliant script, but the only problem is the end. However the acting is amazing (thank you Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper) and the cinematography is amazing too.
Overall you have to see this movie.
The Place Beyond The Pines is rated R.

Critics Consensus: G.I. Joe:Retaliation

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new G.I. Joe movie.
Before I talk about how bad this movie is, I just want to point something out. This movie mostly is not marketed to G.I Joe fans, it's marketed towards five year old kids who want to see explosions because they have a G.I Joe action figure. If you think I'm lying guess what? NPR and the Toronto Globe And Mail totally agreed with me so in your face.
Slant Magazine praised the sound editing, but just like Bullet To The Head that's the only good thing about this movie. You know when you have Channing Tatum,Dwayne Johnson, and Bruce Willis in the same movie, well nothing's gonna be spectacular but the sound editing. The performances are crap,the effects and script are generic and there's just too many guns like Movie Nation said. I mean literally when you are carrying guns out of your asshole it's a little bit stupid.
Overall do not see this movie.
G.I. Joe: Retaliation is rated PG-13.
