Critics Consensus: New Super Mario Bros 2

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

Last year the highest acclaimed title on the 3DS was you guessed it, a Mario game. Nintendo is trying to do that again this time with New Super Mario Bros 2. According to EDGE Magazine,Eurogamer Sweden and 3DJuegos it is more of the same if that is necessarily a bad thing. Modojo said that fans would love this game but IGN was disappointed that there was nothing new in the game. The lowest review was a 6 out of 10 but the highest one was a 91.
Overall it still is fun with great gameplay and controls but if you are not a Mario fan who owns a 3DS this is not a buy.

New Super Mario Bros 2 is rated E.

Critics Consensus: Sparkle

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Sparkle a new music drama.

Music drama's like Hairspray and Dreamgirls are forgotten about these days and big blockbusters are getting more attention. A little bit of attention was put into this movie because Whitney Houston died so this will be her last movie ever. (R.I.P. Whitney Houston.) Unfortunately it does not make the best of lasting impressions and is like getting a C on a math test. Though Roger Ebert did think the movie was solid,Rolling Stone felt that it was old fashioned and Rotten Tomatoes Critics Consensus stated that it was too dramatic. Mostly the movie shines with it's acting and soundtrack as USA Today and Mediamikes stated.
Overall you should see this movie if you really want to. It is a skip if you have no interest in it.

Sparkle is rated PG-13.
