One Of The Worst:Sabotage

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Open Road strikes again!
In case you were wondering about the title at the top Open Road films is a film publisher like Screen Gems that can't catch a break. They've only made a handful of good films like Side Effects and End Of Watch and the rest are pretty much bad. Forgettable movies like Hit & Run,The Host,Machete Kills,Homefront are all on their record. So now they've got a new flick with some action and shooting and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
We knew this wasn't gonna pan out well. Sabotage is filled from the top to bottom with countless cliches,poor acting, dumb action, and no real good or bad guy to root for. It's easily gonna flop and put Arnold Schwarzenegger in more debt. But it doesn't matter. He's made so much from Terminator he can pay for fifteen dog craps like these. I can already smell the 22% and universally bad reviews.
Overall do not see this movie.
Sabotage is rated R.

Critics Consensus:Cesar Chavez

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new Cesar Chavez movie!
If you took a glance at the poster of Cesar Chavez you would think it would be amazing. It looks like it has a great cast, and a step in the right direction for auto-biographical movies. However when I looked at the score for Cesar Chavez on RottenTomatoes it hurt to look. It's like they butchered the Cesar Chavez story.
And thats because they did. Sadly, Cesar Chavez has stale acting, effortless direction, and not very dramatic overall for an auto-biographical movie. It's not the worst Lionsgate could do with the Cesar Chavez timeline but with a little bit more production,effort,and less budget constraints, its easy to say that this could have been a movie for the ages.
Overall only see this movie if you really want to. Maybe Matinee it.
Cesar Chavez is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus:Noah

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new Bible epic Noah!
Religon based movies are usually a hit or a miss. Theres fantastic ones like Ben-Hur and David and Bathsheba and then theres horrible ones like Son Of God,Sodom and Gomorrah and ones that pretty much kill an actors career for being anti-semitic and causing controversy but still making big bucks at the box office Cough (Passion Of The Christ) Cough. Anyway let's check out if Russel Crowe of Robin Hood fame can handle a Bible based epic.
Thankfully Noah isn't the controversial atrocity everyone thought it was going to be for some reason and has actually been praised for it's fantastic acting especially the underrated Emma Watson and it's gripping action. However some critics such as ReelViews, Time Out New York, and Daily Star complained about it being too silly, unbelievable, and long. However a 68 on Metacritic and a 76% on RT cant lie.
Overall see this movie.
Noah is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus:Bioshock Infinite:Burial At Sea;Episode 2

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the finale to Bioshock Infinite!
Bioshock Infinite has had a lot of rough turns. It sells amazing but then takes 8 months to get DLC out. The DLC gets mixed reviews for being short and then shortly after Irrational Games closes. Than the final episode of Burial At Sea is released. Lets see if it's better than the first one because in this one you get to play as Elizabeth!
Burial At Sea Pt2 is substantially higher than Burial At Sea Pt1 on Metacritic all for the right reasons. It's got wonderful level design, enjoyable gameplay,great graphics,art design, and sound design. Pretty much everything a Bioshock fan could ask for. Except with Irrational closing and all that critics like GameTrailers,IGN, and God Is A Geek say that this  is the biggest surprise we've had from Bioshock for a while.
Overall get this DLC.
Burial At Sea Part 2 is rated M.

Critics Consensus:Diablo 3:Reaper Of Souls

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new expansion pack for Diablo 3!
Most people were insanely disappointed with Diablo 3 due to the server issues,non improvement over the other games, and mainly not being worth the decade long wait and all the delays it had. But now there's a new Diablo 3 expansion pack\DLC that promises it will be what Diablo 3 was supposed to be and bring you back to Diablo. Lets see if all that was the truth.
The short answer is mostly. The long answer is Diablo 3 Reaper Of Souls isn't the gigantic messup that Diablo 3 was as it has no server issues or auction house, but still has some gripes like the price and same Diablo 3 fare in-between as explained by GamingTrend,IGN and GameInformer. It's a nice package in between but for many non-hardcore Diablo fans this falls on the expensive side.
Overall only get this if you want to.
Diablo 3:Reaper Of Souls is rated M.
