My Personal Opinion: Battleblock Theater

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is me reviewing Battleblock Theater!

Well the time has finally come. This game has been in development for five years and now it’s out! Battleblock Theater has something special in it’s pocket. It is worth the wait. Yes ,the five year wait. Battleblock Theater glows like a shining star in front of other games. It takes your expectations and roundhouse kicks it. Battleblock Theater is a near-perfect game. The narrator, Stamper is the star of the game and nearly better than Portal’s Cave Johnson. The game itself is super fun and I can’t imagine how fun it will be with four players. If that’s not enough Battleblock Theater has more modes such as a basketball mode, a mode called King Of The Hill where you have to stand on star plated blocks to rack up points, and Color The World where one player is one color and another one is a different color and they have to paint the more blocks than the other player. These modes can be played online with random players or in your house with a friend. The story is good too and will have you laughing within the first minute. Additionally the game is super addictive. It’s like being trapped in a titanium cell. You can also pick a different character each level with the gems you collect. These characters are equally hilarious such as a fat duck, a hobo, a TV, and the Joker. Lastly Battleblock Theater has a level editor. The reason I will give Battleblock Theater a 9.5 is because the single player campaign is a little bit short. That does not mean you should not buy it though.

Critics Consensus:Injustice: Gods Among Us

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Injustice a new fighting game with DC characters.
Well it's here. Batman fans have been waiting for another amazing game since 2011's Batman Arkham City. Well   we have had to wait a year and then find out that Batman:Arkham Origins is going to come out so I guess we need something to chew on while we wait. Let's hope this does not get dry.
Let's start off with the problems of Injustice. As ReviewsOnTheRun's Scott C Jones said the plot will be very confusing for people who do not read the DC Comics. Also Gamereactor Sweden complained about the fighting engine which has been used in Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe and Mortal Kombat so if you played those games this game might feel a little bit stiff.  The pros however are many. EGM praised it's high quality,and Official Xbox Magazine loved the fast paced gameplay. Also Sourcefed said it was a Buy. Injustice is not amazing but
Overall you should probably get it.
Injustice Gods Among Us is rated T.

Critics Consensus:42

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new baseball drama about Jackie Robinson.
Remember Moneyball? The amazing film about the Oakland A's and was known as one of the only good movies of 2011. Also it showed Jonah Hill's chance to prove himself as a reliable actor. Well now 42 is out and it's about Jackie Robinson. 42? Is'nt that the meaning of life?
Well thats a surprise. A good movie has finally come out. It's earnest, insparational,extraordinary. In fact it got two ten out of ten's from New York Daily News and Tampa Bay Times. It's also retro in some sorts and that adds to the strength of the movie as The Playlist said.
Overall see this movie.
42 is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus:Scary Movie 5

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new Scary Movie. Well if you are thinking that this movie is good I have some news for you.
6% on Rotten Tomatoes. EVRAYBODY CLAP YOUR HANDS! EVRAYBODY CLAP YOUR HANDS! Seriously. The first Scary Movie was ok but now it is just a cashgrab and giving stupid celebrities like Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan more money.
If you see this movie you deserve to see this movie. Total idiots see this movie. Why? Well I don't even need to explain it but I guess I will. NO POSITIVE REVIEWS. NO MEDIOCORE REVIEWS FROM ANYONE. Even We Got This Covered explained that "If I ever have to watch another Scary Movie film, I'll give up on writing, cinema, and society forever." Well you might want to get the bullet now. Because this movie is not flopping like a fish gasping for air.
Overall 14 on Metacritic.
Scary Movie 5 is rated PG-13.

My Personal Opinion: Olympus Has Fallen

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is me reviewing Olympus Has Fallen!
When I was like ten years old I realized that if you put your hand in front of the movie projector it would reflect on the giant movie screen. I should have put my middle finger on the screen. That is how much I hated Olympus Has Fallen. Olympus Has Fallen had a promising start. Good dialogue, an Uncharted reference!, and funny writing. This was going to be a good romp. Then something bad happens to Mr.President. However during this scene it is hard to tell what is going on and you will get confused trust me. And then Mr.President screams. He puts no emotion into his Noooooooooooo. He does not even care. He's just doing it for his paycheck and the director will put up with anything. If the acting was not horrible enough there is copious amounts of fake blood and cheesy special effects that make it look like a freddiew video. Seriously all that money spent and you can not do better than a fricking guy on youtube?
Overall this movie sucks. I will give it a 4 out of 10.
Olympus Has Fallen is rated R.
