Critics Consensus:Turbo

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the new animated movie Turbo! Let's see how this does against Planes.
It's interesting to see if audiences will fall for original films for kids. Maybe that's why Pixar has been making so many sequels? Anyway we're off track. Let's get back on the track of Turbo.
Turbo has not been doing so strong at the box office and maybe that's because a story about a snail is not compelling to audiences but it's more than that as the movie drags and is too long as The Playlist said and Decent Films Guide for complaining about no character development. Turbo might be somewhat of a fun movie to see with kids if you have them but it's certainly not a Despicable Me.
Overall only see this with your kids.
Turbo is rated PG.


Critics Consensus: RED 2

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the sequel to the cult classic that was RED!
RED was great for it's over the top humour and intense action. It also had a cast of Bruce Willis and John Malkovich. What more could you ask for? A sequel?
Well RED 2 has hit it into theaters and unfortunately its fallen to this weeks case of bad movie syndrome. It's obviously a quick cash in even though the actors are trying to make it more than that which is probably why it has a 40% but overall this just falls flat.
Overall only see this if you want to.
RED 2 is rated PG-13.

One Of The Worst:R.I.P.D

Note:This posts have come late due to two My Personal Opinions being churned up.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is R.I.P.D. a quick Men In Black ripoff! Damnit.
Thankfully Universal has farted out two original films in the same week. Well Turbo is just well, I'll talk about that travesty later but what about R.I.P.D?
So uh R.I.P.D has not gotten a single positive review on Metacritic with critics like Variety and Entertainment Weekly stating it's dry script and Examiner.com said that the CGI was bountiful  but too bountiful. R.I.P.D has not been racking in big numbers either. It's definitely this years Rock Of Ages.
Overall no. Maybe a Netflix rental when you are drunk but even thats not satisfying the bad aftertaste this movie has.
R.I.P.D is rated PG-13.

One Of The Worst:R.I.P.D. The Game

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is R.I.P.D The Game. Aliens Colonial Marines and Star Trek, meet your maker.

Aliens:Colonial Marines meet your maker. Out of all the bad titles this year such as Ride To Hell and Dark which are some of the worst titles of this generation, R.I.P.D is probably one of the worst titles of this year. Here's Why:
  • The game is a complete carbon copy of God Mode a game that the developers recently released.
  • Online Multiplayer levels are endless
  • One of Game Informer's editors called it worse than Ride To Hell:Retribution
  • The game has no tutorial or instruction
  • The aiming is sluggish as a  dead horse.
  • The gameplay is repetitive and is basically the same every level with no new objectives.
Overall stay clear away from this one. It's no Ride To Hell but it's certainly atrocious. 
R.I.P.D is rated T.

Critics Consensus: NCAA Football 14

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the latest NCAA Football.

NCAA Football games are usually drowned out by the annual Madden releases which sell millions of copies. Die hard football fans usually don't pay that much attention to NCAA after Madden is released but will this years NCAA change that?
Sadly looks like this year's NCAA is just a regular NCAA. Yes it has gotten a few very positive reviews from Machinima and GamesRadar praising it's robust offering of modes and solid gameplay. However critics like IGN and Game Informer did not call NCAA Football 14 the full package for no gigantic improvements. Guess you can't please everyone.
Overall only get this if you want to.
NCAA Football 14 is rated E
