Critics Consensus:World War Z

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.
Overall only see this movie if you want to.
World War Z is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus:Monsters University

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.
