Critics Consensus:Lone Survivor

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Lone Survivor a new action movie based off of an epic Navy Seal story!

Lone Survivor was one of the new more aspiring movies of 2014. It's about Marcus Lutrell's Navy Seal story in which he had to hunt down a wanted terrorist with 3 other seals. He was the Lone Survivor as the movie says. A helicopter was even sent after him with 16 people but was shot down. Now a new movie is coming out based off of his story. However it's made from the guy who directed Battleship even though it has actors such as Mark Wahlberg and Taylor Kitsch. Let's check if it butchers the story.

It doesn't thankfully but it's not a Full Metal Jacket or even a Saving Private Ryan. It's not generic and has enough to keep you going but it's a little bit shallow. The movie is gripping but some scenes are loose and confusing which might affect your viewpoint of the movie. However its still an exasperating story none the less.

Overall see this if you want to.

Lone Survivor is rated R.

One Of The Worst:The Legend Of Hercules

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new Hercules movie that no-one cares about.

The Legend Of Hercules came out of nowhere and it wasn't generally received well. It felt like a little bit of deja-vu after Ryse:Son Of Rome and no-one thought it was going to be good in anyway. Well news flash. They were right.

Just like last year started off with a stinker with Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D this year has another. Legend Of Hercules is pale and tedious in every way possible from the script to the generic acting and even the setting. And if you don't believe me see the horrid reviews and a 4%. Yep. That's right.

Overall stay away from this one.

The Legend Of Hercules is rated R.

Critics Consensus:NES Remix

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is an all new way to play your classic Nintendo games on the HD screen!

NES Remix was one of the plentiful ambitious game announcements from the latest Nintendo Direct. It was also bundled with Hyrule Warriors,Kirby Triple Deluxe,Yoshi's New Island, and Dr.Luigi. The problem is the big surprise of the night Hyrule Warriors won't come out until late 2014 so we really have nothing to keep us busy as no new games pretty much come out this month. So let's take a look at NES Remix. Let's see if it's worth your time.

Unlike Super Mario 64,Goldeneye 64,Metal Gear Solid,and Starcraft NES games somewhat stand the test of time. You can still find fun in classics like Contra and Jackal. Unfortunately most of these titles aren't given any HD treatment. So NES Remix is here to help. NES Remix is pure nostalgia and in that regard it shines as plenty of critics such as Destructoid,IGN and Vandal Online have said. Unfortunately the game is 15 bucks as grained on by The Escapist and Joystiq who called it a downright scam. The problem is probably  that NES Remix has no depth. But if you still don't own a NES, this might be the way to go.

Overall only get this game if you want to.

NES Remix is rated E.

Critics Consensus:Paranormal Activity:The Marked Ones

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is an all new Paranormal Activity drag and this time it's a spinoff!

Paranormal Activity has been going downhill according to critics and some other fans but not box office numbers. The last Paranormal Activity (Paranormal Activity 4) was the second highest grossing film of October of all time but the new one titled The Marked Ones is a new spinoff for the series. If it took them four entries just to do that I can't imagine how many entries they will make after this.

According to critics such as Newsday,New York Times,New  York Daily News, and Washington Post the new Latino spinoff feel kind of refreshes the franchise in some way or form but in the end it's always going to be the cheap thrills you expect from a Paranormal Activity and nothing new. You're getting what you came for basically.

Overall do not see this movie.

Paranormal Activity:The Marked Ones is rated R.

Critics Consensus:Grudge Match

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new Sylvester Stallone VS. Robert De Niro comedy Grudge Match!

There's been a lot of rumours about whether there's gonna be a new Rocky movie or not. A lot of fans juts want to put the series to rest and think it will be a really REALLY bad prequel\sequel (whatever the hell it is) Warner Bros just wants to settle this in a different way in the all new Grudge Match which is a Christmas Day comedy. Let's see how it is.

Well Grudge Match is like the weakest fighter ever. It's been swung at with multiple criticisms includings ones from Detroit News,Movie Nation,USA Today and Variety who have said Grudge Match is tedious with a lousy,lazy script, clumsy jokes and a weak effort from all the actors in it. Stay away from this one.

Overall stay far away from Grudge Match. It's not a 12 dollar film much less a 3 dollar one.

Grudge Match is rated PG-13.
