Critics Consensus: Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular daily critics opinion for the newest video games and movies! Today it is Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.
Just from the title this movie sounds cheeseball. Just from the reviews this movie sounds like a dead raccoon. Here's some examples to show you proof. The A.V. Club called it laughable and gave it a 42. The Chicago Tribune gave it a 50 stating a complaint about the cliches. The worst of all The New York Post's Kyle Smith gave it a 0 out of 100 saying that he would rather be gargling nitroglycerine then see this movie again. Ouch that sounds painful.
Overall Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is the fail of the week you could say. Who knows? This might win a Razzie.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is rated R.

Critics Consensus: Magic:The Gathering-Duels Of The Planeswalkers 2013

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular daily critics opinion for the newest video games and movies! Today it is Magic:The Gathering-Duels Of The Planeswalkers 2013 a new game in the Magic: The Gathering series.
The Magic series is one of those series that is a rare genre. Tabletop board game made into a video game. Now if that sounds boring consider that it got a 9.0 from Eurogamer and Joystiq and they called it the series best translation. The other reviews scores were a 85,85, and a 7.0. Now that's impressive. This is the best Magic game in the series and is also good for newcomers. Though if you are a Halo and Assassin's Creed fan who likes fast paced gaming this is not for you.
Overall get this game just don't get it if it seems boring to you.


Magic:The Gathering-Duels Of The Planeswalkers 2013 is rated T.

Critics Consensus: Brave

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular daily critics opinion for the newest video games and movies! Today it is Brave Pixar's newest movie.
There is good and bad news about Brave. The good news is that it''s not the atrocity Cars 2 was but it does not meet up to Pixar's high track record. The Denver Post's review stated it perfectly saying it is like admitting your straight A student got a B.  But hey you don't have to be all negative because most of the reviews were positive it's just that Brave is good but it's not Pixar good. Brave has incredible animation and an astonishing moral but it's not Pixar good. So while Brave will probably be one of the best animated movies of the year, it is not one of the best movies of the year something Pixar is known for.
Overall you'll probably like this movie so go see it. But if you want Toy Story and Up standards look elsewhere.


Brave is rated PG.

Critics Consensus: Steel Battalion:Heavy Armor

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular daily critics opinion for the newest video games and movies! Today it is Steel Battalion:Heavy Armor the remake of the Steel Battalion series for the Kinect.
Sometimes we get a game that is like vomiting in a shower. It's sad when that happens. Anyway you probably know where i'm going with this post. When a game gets a 3.0 from IGN, Game Informer, and Destructoid and only one positive review this is what we get. The equivalent of vomiting in a shower. Well why? Giant Bomb,Polygon and Electronic Gaming Monthly complained about controls while IGN called the game "hell".
Overall don't trust this game. I don't care if the ad says 10\10:IGN it is still crap.


Steel Battalion:Heavy Armor is rated M.

NOTE: We will have more posts than usual this week because of the crowded summer release schedule.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular daily critics opinion for the newest video games and movies! Today it is The Art Of Rap a new musical documentary.
Musical Documentaries are a small genre but have good critical acclaim. No wait amazing critical acclaim because the newest one The Art Of Rap has a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Chicago Tribune loved the interviews and every review out there is positive. Hey 10 positive reviews do not lie. The Art Of Rap is the best movie of Jun 15 2012- Jun 22 2012. That's right.
Overall see this movie. This is worth your time and money.


The Art Of Rap is rated R.
