Critics Consensus:Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new Mario game for the 3DS that is actually downloadable. Oooh.

Mario And Donkey Kong:Minis On The Move is interesting. It's a downloadable game for the Mario series which is pretty rare. It's also on the 3DS. That's even more rare. It's also like the Mario version of Lemmings. However no one has been able to recreate the classic game that was Lemmings. Will Mario be able to do that?

GameInformer which usually gives pretty high scores gave Minis On The Move a 6.5 saying that it felt like homework and GamesRadar complained about the difficulty progression. It was not all bad with Destructoid giving it a 9.0 and Sourcefed giving it a buy.

Overall since there has been mixed reviews, only get this game if you want to.

Mario And Donkey Kong: Minis On The Move is rated E.

Critics Consensus:The Great Gatsby

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the new movie adaptation of The Great Gatsby!

One of the most anticipated movies of 2013 was The Great Gatsby an adaptation of the classic book by F. Scott Fitzgerald. There have been many many adaptations of this book. However none of them are very good. Can Baz Lurhman change that?
Well not so much. The Great Gatsby has been a 55 average and a 47% on RottenTomatoes. ReviewsOnTheRun's Scott C Jones said that it was spectacular and written well but the last twenty minutes are weak. Most critics complained that the movie was too beautiful to focus on everything else. Source:The Atlantic,Miami Herald
Overall only see this movie if you want too.
The Great Gatsby is rated PG-13.

My Personal Opinion:Iron Man 3

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is me reviewing Iron Man 3.

When Iron Man 3 is released it opens the jar that contains all the other summer movies. So is Iron Man 3 a satisfying start to the summer movie schedule or does it leave a bad taste in front of moviegoers? Let’s find out. Iron Man 3 reminded me of  Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull in it’s writing. It’s way better than Crystal Skull because it’s funny and has good performances but when it seems like a regular movie, everything just gets way too over-the-top.  I don’t want to spoil it but you will be surprised, maybe a bit angry. In fact they don’t show any of this stuff in the trailers and it’s in most of the movie so you are left perplexed on top of being disappointed. Iron Man 3 is not horrible, far from that. The dialogue is written smart and funny and will have you laughing as much as The Avengers. The problem is it’s not written by Joss Whedon so the writing is not too spectacular so the plot falls a little and can’t grab itself up.  The action will never end (in a good way) and the pacing is sub-par but Iron Man 3 fails on another aspect. It was supposed to be dark as director Shane Black stated but it does not really get too dark till the last fifteen minutes. Iron Man 3 is certainly not a waste of two hours but I feel that if you turn your brain off you might enjoy it. I’ll give Iron Man 3 a 6.5 out of 10. In other words you should probably get it on Netflix or Redbox when it comes out.

My Personal Opinion:Injustice:Gods Among Us

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is me reviewing Injustice:Gods Among Us.

I've been a big Batman fan ever since Arkham City and then a few months later Injustice was announced. I was gung-ho about it . Now that it has come out and I have played it, I am a DC fan. (DC=Superman,Batman,Aquaman,Wonder Woman etc.)The best thing about Injustice is how professionally it’s made. It’s from the creators of Mortal Kombat (NetherRealm) and boy do they know how to make a good fighting game. It still has it’s problems like way too many quick-time events and some frame-rate issues during cutscenes but, overall it delivers it’s expectations. The gameplay is pitch-perfect and probably is the best aspect of the game and the game has a lot of content. The multiplayer is okay though most people were playing private and I could not join. The worst thing about the game is the plot. The plot is all over the place and very confusing and based off the comics. If you have not read the comics, like I have you will be perplexed. They did do a good job transitioning from character to character but I was always lost. However the gameplay made up for it. One of the new features in Injustice is the Wager attack which is pretty much based off of quicktime events. I hate quicktime events and think that they ruin a game so when the AI used a Wager, I was frustrated. Overall I would give Injustice a 8.0 out of 10. It’s good and has a lot of content but some of the new features and technical hiccups helm it from truly being a classic.

Critics Consensus: Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new Far Cry 3 expansion that has to do with the 80's. Wha....

I REALLY HOPE you know what you are going into when you load up Far Cry 3:Blood Dragon. I do not expect you to be a total idiot and not know by the box art but if any of you guys bought The Walking Dead:Survival Instinct. Anyway it's an 80's party.
First of all Blood Dragon is funny and full of 80's nostalgia as Steve Zaragoza from Sourcefed said. The whole thing is an adventure and one crazy one to be exact. The gameplay is great as SmoshGames praised and the only thing that could not make Far Cry 3:Blood Dragon better than everything out there is the long annoying cutscenes that span many minutes.
Overall get this game.
Far Cry 3:Blood Dragon is rated M.
