Critics Consensus: Monaco:What's Yours Is Mine

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new indie title that has gotten much hype called Monaco.
I love indie games. They are better than what the gaming industry offers and gives a break from the COD's and Battlefield's that rule the industry. That''s why I was excited for Monaco a top down stealth game. Well that is new and interesting.
IncGamers praised the price point of the game and stated that they wished it was more because the developer's deserve more (you don't hear that every day) and Joystiq loved the clever design choices.
Overall you have to get this game.
Monaco is rated T.

Critics Consensus: Tai Chi Zero

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

8 months ago a movie came out called Tai Chi Hero. Well eight months later there is a sequel and rushed sequels lead to bad scores. Like a 33 and a 36. That is twenty points lower than  the original you stupid movie makers.
Village Voice said that it was sluggish,Slant complained it felt half baked,and The New York Times stated that it is one of the most forgettable movies of the beginning of 2013. Well that's great.
Overall just don't. This has been a horrible week for movies.

Critics Consensus: The Big Wedding

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a romantic comedy with Robert De Niro. Egh let's see about that.

So The Big Wedding is about a family that is trying to survive a wedding. Let's see if critics can even  survive this movie because a there is a 7% on Rotten Tomatoes so oh looky here. There's a dead body.
The Big Wedding is horrid. Entertainment Weekly yelled that it was corny,The Globe And Mail said it was dull, and Village Voice said the movie was offensive. Also the New York Post gave it a 0. If a idiotical newspaper gives something a zero, well you are in trouble.
Overall do not get this movie.
The Big Wedding is rated R.

Critics Consensus:Pain And Gain

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

So it has been more than five years since a Michael Bay movie has been made that is not Transformers. Pain And Gain is based off an actual newspaper article where personal trainers get caught in crime. Well we ran out of remakes,books, and video games so let's do newspaper articles.
Michael Bay usually gets his movies slammed so it's weird that Die Hard 2 has a higher score than Transformers on Metacritic but you know both movies are not amazing. Somehow Miami Herald said that Pain And Gain was Michael Bay's best movie,Chicago Sun Times praised the writing but the overuse of slo-mo technology and explosions make the movie kind of annoying.
Overall see this movie if you want to.
Pain And Gain is rated R.
