Critics Consensus:The Last Of Us Left Behind

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the new Last Of Us DLC!
Naughty Dog knocked The Last Of Us out of the park with a compelling story, interesting believable characters,and edge of your seat gameplay. It ended up getting perfect scores and making numerous GOTY's. However most critics felt like the ending was perfect and didn't need to be changed and the new DLC handles Ellies past and future. Judging by Naughty Dog's track record this will probably amazing as usual but you always gotta play it safe.
Nah I was just kidding with you. It's Naughty Dog and of course it's amazing. It's already got an 87 on Metacritic with critics praising it all around the board for it's environments and levels,chemistry between Ellie and Riley and an overall sense of unbreakable pace. It's no secret why this has an 87 and even though it's not as good as the original doesn't mean you shouldn't play it.
Overall get this game.
The Last Of Us:Left Behind is rated M.

Critics Consensus:Valentines Movies

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is all the Valentine's movies that come out this week.
Hey! So this is kind of a last minute thing here. I realized how many Valentines Days movies come out this week so I've decided to cover them all in a quick post and say which ones are worth your time. (if any)
Date & Switch:
The first one is Date & Switch a movie about virgins trying to "score" before prom and then one of them says he's gay. Obviously this isn't your typical Valentines Day movie and this one's only a limited release so let's check if it's actually a movie you should drive a little while to see. Turns out nope.This movie has gotten some positive reviews but mostly it's gotten not so shining ones because of it's uneven pacing,dated script and subject material, and overall somewhat pointless. There is some good aspects though but it's not that spread out in the film and mostly is lacking. Overall no.
Winters Tale:
Winter's Tale is the somewhat Cinderella generic story about some crappy love that spans a century or something. It's a last ditch effort by Warner Bros to get some money this Valentines Day and after the explosion of awesomeness that was The Lego Movie we expect better from them. It's a made for TV movie scrapped together and paper thin and that explains why it's gotten no positive reviews and a 14% on Rotten Tomatoes. Ouch.
Endless Love:
The next one is some Romeo & Juliet type love story with the exact same score as Winter's Tale on Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes. You've got to be kidding me. Im done with this film. It's obvious I don't need to explain any more.
About Last Night:
Finally how long did it take to get to a somewhat decent Valentines movie? About Last Night may turn you off because the commercials feature people having sex in a chicken costume and getting caught and it also has Kevin Hart (who starred in the not so fantastic Ride Along). Believe it or not it's actually a decent romp with funny jokes that will leave you happy this Valentines Day. Or whenever this is being published.
Overall according to critics like Globe and Mail,Entertainment Weekly,Rolling Stone, and Village Voice who have pretty good opinions the only one is About Last Night. Other are pretty crap.
Really crap.


Critics Consensus:Robocop

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new Robocop reboot!
It's the Hollywood's totally running out of ideas and has to make a reboot of an ancient 80's movie version of Critics Consensus. And this time we have the all new Robocop. Don't get me wrong this one actually has some potential but if it's anything we know about Robocop it's usually supposed to maintain a R rating due to it's grit and violence. But this time it's PG-13. And Hollywood screws things up yet again.
Ok maybe I overreacted there because of pure nostalgia but as we expected Robocop isn't an amazing film. It's not crap like Total Recall was but it's pretty weak and doesn't contain really any Robocop action with a crappy opening to tie things in a smelly effortless bow. Fortunately the last 30 so minutes is amazing according to ReviewsOnTheRun, San Francisco Chronicle, and Tampa Bay Times it's just that this movie could have used a little bit more time on the drawing board before being thrown out there.
Overall only see this movie if you want to.
Robocop is rated PG-13.
