Critics Consensus:Assassins Creed 4:Black Flag-Freedom Cry

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today the new Assassins Creed DLC!
Last time Ubisoft delved deep into the DLC universe of Assassin's Creed it made The Tyranny Of George Washington for Assassins Creed 3. That was a weird one. The episodes were received mostly positive for their cool powers and gameplay but their were a lot of criticisms over the bonkers story and wonky AI. Now Ubisoft is dealing with DLC using an all new character. Let's see how this is.
As stated by Destructoid this is definitely better than the George Washington DLC by having a polished engine and world, a cool story, and interesting characters. Unfortunately it's a little bit dry for it's own good and seems small with little ideas or concepts too improve on. We can only find out till Episode 2 but right now 
A)Buy this if you want to
B) Don't if you don't
It's just that simple.
Freedom Cry is rated M.  

Critics Consensus:Her

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today the west Spike Jonze film Her!
Spike Jonze isn't one of the biggest names in the film industry and that's sad really. He's made three incredible movies which are incase you are wondering are (Being John Malkovich,Adaptation,and Where The Wild Things Are) All of those movies are cult classics and critically acclaimed and he now returns with the new Her. And it's downright amazing.
Her is about a man (Theodore Twombly) who is depressed and alone  after a long relationship with a lover. He buys a new computer system which comes with an AI that talks to him (Kind of like Siri but even more intelligent and voiced by Scarlett Jo-Hanson) and they develop a relationship. The reason Her is amazing isn't it's rather simplistic story but it's character development,chemistry, and overall heartbreak. (As praised by Wall Street Journal,Slate,Salon,com) Her will make you feel and think something a lot of movies nowaday don't do.
Overall see this movie now.
Her is rated R.

Critics Consensus:Anchorman 2

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today the all new Anchorman 2!! (Starring Will Ferrel of course!)
Anchorman 2 is known as one of the greatest comedic feats not just for Will Ferrel,but Steve Carell,Judd Apatow,Paul Rudd and more. It's been a decade since the last Anchorman and in 2010 when Paramount decided and a said a sequel wouldn't just be right they turned their back and announced Anchorman 2 last year. This is one of the biggest releases of the year and for good reason. The first Anchorman had laughs from every side. However it looks like Anchorman 2 is only 70% laughs from all side. It's got a 61 on Metacritic and a 75% on RottenTomatoes. That's better than the original's 66% but there are some things that Anchorman 2 is missing and improves on. Let's find out what they are.
Anchorman 2 is great fun sometimes but many critics such as Slate,The A.V. Club and Time have said that the film's occasional laugh-free sessions hurt it a little bit. There's still the funny as hell performances and great nostalgia due to the film's 80's feel, it just feels like the film could have had a bit more fluff.
Overall see this movie.
Anchorman 2 is rated PG-13.
