Critics Consensus:Transcendence

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new Transcendence in which humans go against machines!
While Transcendence's plot may sound generic as a vat of boring it actually has some discernible talent attached to it like Christopher Nolan,Johnny Depp,Morgan Freeman and Rebecca Hall. However all of that is destroyed as the film has a 20% on RottenTomatoes and a 44 on Metacritic. Let's see why this is such a colossal disappointment.
Apparently it's because Transcendence has a lazy script,boring acting, and a otherwise bland lack in direction. It's got some amazing visual effects but even that can't save this sucker of a movie. Too bad for the 100+ million dollar budget of this movie because something like this is probably gonna hurt it. Another hit in Johnny Depp's wallet.
Overall do not see this movie.
Transcendence is rated PG-13.

One Of The Worst:A Haunted House 2

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the sequel to A Haunted House!
No wonder it's One Of The Worst Time.
So A Haunted House 2 has a 13 on Metacritic right now which means it might be the lowest rated movie of the year. Considering it's already April that's pretty weak. But then again everything in this movie is weak. For example:
  • It has gay jokes
  • It has animal cruelty jokes
  • Washington Post said it exceeded expectations even though they still gave it a 0
  • Vulture called it a nervous breakdown of a movie 
  • 7M Pictures said it was worse than White Chicks which is known as one of the worst movies 
  • Filled with sex scenes and sex jokes
Ya so it's obvious that you shouldn't see this movie
A Haunted House 2 is rated R.

Critics Consensus:Trials Fusion

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the next Trials game!
In 2009 an aspiring indie studio released an XBLA version of one of their flash games. The game ended up being one of the best selling XBLA and downloadable games to date so what other way to release a sequel? That sequel ended up being Trials Evolution which was praised for it's fantastic level editor which could let you make (im not joking) first person shooters and platformers in a motorcycle game. This time Trials is back and it's set in the future. Let's see if it seems like they are running out of ideas here.
Apparently RedLynx isn't. Yes Trials Fusion tries to assemble a plot unlike the other games and do to it's poor results of that it was one of the reasons AusGamers gave it a 5\10. However nearly all of the reviews have been positive praising its graphics,challenges,new improvements, and humour something that is rarely present in games these days.
Overall get this game.
Trials Fusion is rated E10+.
