Critics Consensus: The Bling Ring

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.

Critics Consensus:This Is The End

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.

My Personal Opinion: Man Of Steel

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.

Critics Consensus:Man Of Steel

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.
Overall see this if you want to.
Man Of Steel is rated PG-13.
