Critics Consensus: Premium Rush

NOTE: These 3 posts were done on a Saturday not a Friday because reviews for The Apparition came in at about 7:00 PM and by that time I was too busy.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Premium Rush a new action movie starring Joseph Gordon Levitt.

There have not been a good number of great bicycle related movies recently or at all. Well good news. Now there is 3 good bicycle related movies.  Premium Rush is about a delivery messenger that finds out he is carrying a bomb. The New York Post complained about the story line being congested. Since the storyline is pretty thin many critics were praising that with a simple storyline the film could be a bit gripping like The Wrap's Alonso Duralde said. So the plot is eh, character developments are good, and its fun. The only serious problem with Premium Rush is that it is overloaded with special effects like Rolling Stone exclaimed.
Overall see this movie if you want to and if you do not give a hoot about it, another transportation movie game out called Hit and Run.

Premium Rush is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus: Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron a sequel to Transformers: War for Cybertron.

Great news for Transformers fans. The new Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron is fun as explained by Gaming Trend, Canadian Online Gamers stated that it delivers on so many levels, and lastly Planet Xbox 360 praised the action saying that it was "enough for two games." The only problem is that it is not the greatest improvement from it's predecessor but that probably does not matter when you are having loads of fun.
Overall get this game of you are a Transformers fan but if you do not care about Transformers this is a rent.

Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron is rated T.

Critics Consensus: Hit & Run

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Hit and Run a new action comedy.

If you saw the commercial for Hit And Run you would not think it would be good. You would not think it would be horrible either. Hit and Run is like a hijacked car. It starts off with a bang, then runs out of gas, and lastly crashes into a ravine. It has a 50 on Metacritic and a 40 something on Rotten Tomatoes but the top critics approval rating is drasstically different at a 67%. Roger Ebert thought the movie was funny and Entertianment Weekly liked it but they thought it was forgettable. Sadly like Expendables 2 and The Campaign it is just dumb fun. That is why ReelViews, Chicago Tribune, Newsday, and Village Voice pounded the movie.
Overall see this movie if you really wanna. Do not see it if you do not want to see it.
(By the way the commercial I mentioned in this post will be below.)

Hit & Run is rated R.

Critics Consensus: New Super Mario Bros 2

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new Mario game.

Last year the highest acclaimed title on the 3DS was you guessed it, a Mario game. Nintendo is trying to do that again this time with New Super Mario Bros 2. According to EDGE Magazine,Eurogamer Sweden and 3DJuegos it is more of the same if that is necessarily a bad thing. Modojo said that fans would love this game but IGN was disappointed that there was nothing new in the game. The lowest review was a 6 out of 10 but the highest one was a 91.
Overall it still is fun with great gameplay and controls but if you are not a Mario fan who owns a 3DS this is not a buy.

New Super Mario Bros 2 is rated E.

Critics Consensus: Sparkle

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Sparkle a new music drama.

Music drama's like Hairspray and Dreamgirls are forgotten about these days and big blockbusters are getting more attention. A little bit of attention was put into this movie because Whitney Houston died so this will be her last movie ever. (R.I.P. Whitney Houston.) Unfortunately it does not make the best of lasting impressions and is like getting a C on a math test. Though Roger Ebert did think the movie was solid,Rolling Stone felt that it was old fashioned and Rotten Tomatoes Critics Consensus stated that it was too dramatic. Mostly the movie shines with it's acting and soundtrack as USA Today and Mediamikes stated.
Overall you should see this movie if you really want to. It is a skip if you have no interest in it.

Sparkle is rated PG-13.
