My Personal Opinion:Despicable Me 2

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is me reviewing Despicable Me 2.
Usually if I see an animated movie it's PIXAR because they make the definition of quality. But Pixar has been kind of failing. I hated Cars 2 and Brave and Monsters University was OK. Thankfully the Despicable Me series came when Pixar was out of it's run and it's actually worth seeing in a theater crowded full of nine year olds. Yep I said it. I can stand all of those stupid cheers when the movie is actually that good. Thanks Universal.
Despicable Me 2 is getting a 9.0 out of 10 from me.

Critics Consensus:The Conjuring

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is The Conjuring a new horror movie from the creators of Paranormal Activity.
The Conjuring has been getting really good reviews and a really good audience reception. It's Warner Bros new big horror hit. But that seemed weird because it's made from the SAW creators.
Well that does not matter because the Conjuring is that good. It's scary at every turn as ReviewsOnTheRun said and amazing acting as Time Out New York stated. The Conjuring might as well be this year's Cabin In The Woods.
Overall just see it.
The Conjuring is rated R.

Critics Consensus: Only God Forgives

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Only God Forgives the spiritual successor to Drive!

In 2011 a little movie called Drive came out that knocked everybody's socks off and proved a successful acting career for Ryan Gosling. Drive had an amazing script, beautiful direction and an Oscar worthy performance from Ryan Gosling.
When Only God Forgives was released at the Cannes Film Festival critics canned it. Now that the film is in more theaters we know thats because of it's dull script and a laughable story. (Cited:Washington Post)  Let's just hope that Refn does not become the next Shyamalan and watch Drive again.
Overall only see this movie if you really want to.
Only God Forgives is rated R.

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.
