Critics Consensus:The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new Ben Stiller movie and it's not Night Of The Museum this time!
Ben Stiller is a wild card. He's had some great and definitely memorable performances such as Tropico Thunder and Greenberg but he's also had some failures (like all of the Night Of The Museum movies) and Tower Hiest. He now returns for a somewhat serious movie about a man escaping a generic life titled The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty. Let's see if it's worth the ticket price.
It's probably worth about half it were basing this on reviews because The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty currently has a 47% on Rotten Tomatoes. This is probably due to it's wild ambitious offerings and odd writing. While it's not a bad thing it's certainly offputting and it might only make you want to see it if you really want to.
Overall see this movie if you want to.
The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty is rated PG.



One Of The Worst:47 Ronin

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new samurai smasher 47 Ronin!
47 Ronin looks like a somewhat fresh and exciting movie. It's a samurai action flick and features a barrage of newcomer directors and actors. It's a risk on Universal's part and it might pay off. But really theres more to 47 Ronin than meets the eye. The movie's had a troubled development cycle and it's finally out with a 12% on RottenTomatoes. Looks like this is the new Battlefield Earth ladies and gentlemen.
While 47 Ronin may look cool it's really just a bore fest. The film is two hours and it definitely feels like it overstays it's welcome as USA Today and Empire have said. This is partly due to the CGI being used overwhelmingly and it just being a movie with no gas left in the engine. This is a stinker and stay away from it as much as possible.
Overall don't see this.
47 Ronin is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus:The Wolf Of Wall Street

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new Martin Scorcese flick, The Wolf Of Wall Street!
You could say one of Jonah Hill's breakout roles was in Moneyball the baseball drama with Brad Pitt which turned out to be amazing and proved that Jonah Hill can do more than just dick around. Now Jonah Hill is back and he's got a couple of companions including Leonardo Dicaprio and the director,Martin Scorcese. Looks like this is gonna be a marvel.
And no doubt about it The Wolf Of Wall Street is. You may have a few critics such as The New York Post and Charlotte Observer shy away from the movie due to it's three hour runtime but trust us (and the critics) for this one because it's definitely worth the time take. It's filled to the brim with great dialogue lines, a fantastic cast, and a great setting. The Wolf Of Wall Street is definitely one of the best movies of this year and in a while. Believe me on this and if you don't it's gotten 10+ perfect scores as evidence.
Overall see this movie.
The Wolf Of Wall Street is rated R.
