Critics Consensus:Anchorman 2

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today the all new Anchorman 2!! (Starring Will Ferrel of course!)
Anchorman 2 is known as one of the greatest comedic feats not just for Will Ferrel,but Steve Carell,Judd Apatow,Paul Rudd and more. It's been a decade since the last Anchorman and in 2010 when Paramount decided and a said a sequel wouldn't just be right they turned their back and announced Anchorman 2 last year. This is one of the biggest releases of the year and for good reason. The first Anchorman had laughs from every side. However it looks like Anchorman 2 is only 70% laughs from all side. It's got a 61 on Metacritic and a 75% on RottenTomatoes. That's better than the original's 66% but there are some things that Anchorman 2 is missing and improves on. Let's find out what they are.
Anchorman 2 is great fun sometimes but many critics such as Slate,The A.V. Club and Time have said that the film's occasional laugh-free sessions hurt it a little bit. There's still the funny as hell performances and great nostalgia due to the film's 80's feel, it just feels like the film could have had a bit more fluff.
Overall see this movie.
Anchorman 2 is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus:The Walking Dead:Season 2;Episode 1-All That Remains

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today the Walking Dead finally returns!
It's easy to say that The Walking Dead The Game was one of the biggest breakout hits of 2012. It came from Telltale Games which was a developer no one really had respect for after fallouts like Jurassic Park The Game and Back To The Future. They've must have hired some great writers because the new Walking Dead has a 79. Let's find out why.
The Walking Dead is gripping, violent,gruesome,intense and has always railed the stakes by 10 (stated by Game Trailers) It's gotten for 9\10's and as The Escapist and countless other critics such as Cheat Code Central and Joystiq have said Telltale clearly isn't a one-trick pony anymore. Go buy it now. It's definitely worth your time.
Overall get this game.
The Walking Dead:Season 2:Episode 1 is rated M.

Critics Consensus:The Hobbit:Desolation Of Smaug

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new Hobbit 2!
The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey was sadly one of the bigger disappointments of 2012 (Hey at least it wasn't Resident Evil 6) partly due to it's lousy 48 fps gimmick and a mostly boring script. Now the new Hobbits out and it's getting way better reviews and that's not partly due to there being dragons.
The Hobbit's certainly not gonna be a great as we would hope to expect but it's definitely a good popcorn muncher. It's fast paced and doesn't feel like a middle part of a trilogy as Christian Science Monitor has said. The Hobbit's getting better and better ladies and gentlemen (at least we hope).
Overall see this movie.
The Hobbit:Desolation Of Smaug is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus:American Hustle

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new crime drama with a very memorable cast, American Hustle!
It's that time of year again and if you don't know what time of year I'm talking about I'm talking about not just the holidays but the holiday movie extravaganza. Last year we had Skyfall,Les Miserables, and Zero Dark Thirty. This year we have already have had Gravity,Captain Phillips and All Is Lost just to name a few. Now there's a new crime drama with the amazing (and hot) Jennifer Lawrence and it's not just exciting for that reason. Let's see what all the buzz around American Hustle is all about.
American Hustle is a masterpiece for many reasons and that's one of the reason's it's a masterpiece. It's gotten 9 perfect scores on Metacritic and just to boast with that is also mesmerizing and structured like a piece of the thriller Goodfellas. American Hustle brings proof that movies are back at it again with a little oomph to use that as proof.
Overall see this movie now. Just buy a ticket. Everyone involved with this movie deserves the money.
American Hustle is rated R.

Critics Consensus: Peggle 2

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new Peggle 2!
Peggle was one of the hit Xbox Live Arcade titles for the original Xbox 360 and now it's back again in full swing. In case you didn't know what Peggle is it's a pachinko hybrid. It's also made by Popcap (the creators of Plants Vs. Zombies) That alone should warrant a purchase but let's see if that's the case with Peggle 2.
Peggle has returned and with updated graphical features,no free to play features and upgraded levels it's clear why critics like IGN, Official Xbox Magazine and NowGamer have praised Peggle 2. It won't stand the test of time but it's certainly a good game to add to your collection with a completely justifiable price.
Overall get this game.
Peggle 2 is rated E.
