Critics Consensus:The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new Spider Man movie!!

Let's be honest here. There hasn't been a good Spider Man movie in a while. Spider Man 3 was known as a disaster for being so overly convoluted and messy and The Amazing Spider Man while being better did little to rocket the franchises into new heights as Spider Man 1 and 2 did. So now The Amazing Spider Man 2 is out featuring a cast of new villains including Electro,The Green Goblin,Vulture,Dr Octopus, the list goes on and on. But the real question is Is it any good? Lets find out.

Well that just plain hurts. The Amazing Spider Man 2 has a 53 on Metacritic and a 55% on RottenTomatoes. That makes it just nearly as bad as Spider Man 3 which isn't a good sign in the slightest. Critics like The Atlantic,Denver Post, and The Wrap complained about how the movie was exhausting and didn't really feel like the big finale it should have been. Other critics like Film.com and The Guardian praised the new cast of characters. So with mixed reviews on this it's pretty obvious if you should see The Amazing Spider Man 2 or not.

It depends if you like style over substance.

The Amazing Spider Man 2 is rated PG-13.



 

Critics Consensus:The Amazing Spider Man 2

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new Spider Man video game!

Beenox's track record has been starting to fall apart lately. In 2011 they released Spider Man:Edge Of Time a rather generic uninspired take on Spidey's ventures. Believe it or not the highest score was a 6. Then 2012 rolled around and Beenox released yet another Spider Man game. While this one was definitely better than Edge Of Time it still wasn't up to par with the good ol Spidey days especially Spider Man 2 on the PS2. Will the new Amazing Spider Man 2 fill the niche? Let's find out.

Looks like The "ever so amazing" Spider Man has fallen to some bad reviews. In fact it's nearly up to par with the movie (post coming sunday) and has gotten some really piss poor statements from GameInformer,IGN and Gametrailers alike. Maybe it's the repetitive missions, clunky menus, and glitchy placement overall. Either way skip this spider.

Overall do not buy this game.

The Amazing Spider Man 2 is rated T.

Critics Consensus:Child Of Light

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Ubisofts all new platformer RPG Child Of Light!!!

One of the surprise announcements from Gamescom 2013 was Ubisoft's beautiful Child Of Light. Unlike the other game they announced Fighter Within, Child Of Light was looked on with great praise and hype even before it came out due to the team working on it (Ubisoft Montreal AKA the guys who made a bunch of great Ubisoft games such as Assassin's Creed,Splinter Cell,and Watch Dogs) Let's see if the talent and the hype is really brimming in the right places.

Apparently Child Of Light is a miniature indie masterpiece. Dacotah Reviews praised it for it's welcoming to newcomers gameplay as it is not a turn based RPG or a real time one, (which sounds confusing if you ask me) IGN for the visual display and breathtaking artwork,and The Digital Fix for it's great lengthy amounts of content. Unfortunately the game has somewhat of an annoying plot as everything is a tongue twister and rhymes, but you kind of have to expect that when you're playing a game crafted like a fairy tale. And getting acclaim like one too.

Overall get this game.

Child Of Light is rated E10+. 




Critics Consensus:The Quiet Ones

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is an all new horror movie that's got nothing different from other ones. Ugh another boring movie weekend.

A lot of recent PG-13 rated horror movies in the past few years have been total crap.  Remember House At The End Of The Street? Or The Apparition? Or The Possession? See what I mean? So the all new Quiet Ones is hitting theaters. Not this again.

The Quiet Ones is plagued with familiar elements tried in other movies, crappy effortless acting, nothing new, innovative or even remotely scary, and having a bad script. All these elements need to be good to make an essential horror movie and it's clear that The Quiet Ones was only made for a paycheck in peoples pockets. 39% on Rotten Tomatoes don't lie.

Overall do not see this movie.

The Quiet Ones is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus:The Other Woman

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is an all new romantic comedy with Kate Upton and Cameron Diaz! Hang on a sec. How could this possibly be good.

Kate Upton hasn't really been in a movie besides for some Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Compilation or some crap like that and it's obvious that a lot of people are only going to see this just for a snippet of Kate Uptons boobs in a bra or some crap like that. So when a movie is probably going to sell for that reason it probably doesn't have substance. And that's exactly what The Other Woman is.

Unsurprisingly, The Other Woman is going to be a boring, unpleasant film to watch for people that are looking for a good thoughtful film. In fact the only thing that saves this film is Leslie Mann as the Philadelphia Inquirer said. But if you don't care and wanna see a movie just like any other rom-com  with a bunch of your lady friends or whatever you probably will have have a good time.

Overall only see this movie if you want to.

The Other Woman is rated PG-13.
