Critics Consensus:Scribblenauts Unmasked

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the new Scribblenauts based off of DC!
Last years WiiU port of Scribblenauts Unlimited was the go to title for the WiiU as it showed it's processing power and it's insanely entertaining gameplay. Well the next Scribblenauts is now relying on Warner Bros's franchises. One of those is DC. Let's see how Unmasked fairs.
Unfortunately Unmasked is a little bit of a disappointment. While the game is still fun as it always is the combat is wonky as GameInformer stated and jumps feel really floaty. It's still a great game but Unlimited is better.
Overall if you were looking forward to this game you can go either way. Stick with Unlimited to save money or purchase the new one.
Scribblenauts Unmasked is rated E10+.

Critics Consensus:Rush

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the new Chris Hemsworth sports drama Rush!
Chris Hemsworth has not really shown is acting power in the past few years. The Avengers was not a movie really based off of performances (though it was a amazing nevertheless) Red Dawn flopped and Snow White was a low point for Hemsworth. However many fans of his films have been looking forward to Rush as it is his most serious role yet. Let's find out if his performance is worth while and also the movie.
Rush is a masterpiece, and thankfully it saves us from good movie drought we've been getting in the past few weeks. The acting is phenomenal from both leading roles as the Chicago Sun Times says and the movie carries immense emotional weight leading it to be heavily entertaining.
Overall see this movie.
Rush is rated R.

Critics Consensus:Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the sequel to Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs!
When Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs and Despicable Me came out in 2010 they were clearly respectable movies that showed how Sony Pictures Animation was trying to be the next PIXAR. 1. They can't because they have a generic name but whatever. Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs was a box office smash and with any movie close to that margin of money gets a sequel! How suprising.
Thankfully Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2 is not the fly in the soup most critics and moviegoers expected it to be as it has a 58 on Metacritic as well on RottenTomatoes. It's not a fantastic movie by any means but it certainly is not going to leave a bad taste in your mouth. It's funny and certainly to give some laughs for the kids.
Overall only see this if you have kids.
Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2 is rated PG.

Critics Consensus:Don Jon

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the new Joseph Gordon Levvit director debut Don Jon!
Joseph Gordon Levvit has grown to much acclaimed fame in the last few years and has not appeared in a really bad film too. From 50\50,The Dark Knight Rises,Premium Rush and Lincoln none of his recent movies have flopped critically or commercially. Now he has a new directorial debut. A comedy about a ladie's man and his pron addiction. Now while that may sound weird and off putting Don Jon surprisingly is not.
Don Jon currently holds a 65 on Metacritic and a 81% on RottenTomatoes with critics all across the board like Detroit News,Kaplan vs Kaplan, and Rolling Stone calling it funny,pleasantly entertaining, and showcases the incredible amount of talent Joseph Gordon Levvit has at his fingertips.
All in all see this movie.
Don Jon is rated R.
