Critics Conensus: Battlefield America

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular daily critics opinion for the newest video games and movies! Today it is Battlefield America a movie based on the teenage dance scene in America.

It's funny because Battlefield America sounds like a movie based off a popular first person shooter franchise. It is is not but it still sucks. Battlefield America has a 13% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 40 on Metacritic. Well examples of why this is  one of the worst movies of the month is the highest score was a 60 from Village Voice and the critics have complained about crappy editing and too many cliches.
Overall if you are looking for a music movie again just stay at home. Use your good ol pal called Netflix.

Battlefield America is rated PG-13.

Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular daily critics opinion for the newest video games and movies! Today it is Virtua Fighter 5:Final Showdown the newest installment in the Virtua Fighter franchise.

While E3 2012 is going on few people are excited about the games that come out this week. Well here's another reason why you should stick to watch livestreams of Microsoft and Ubisoft press conferences. Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown came out and it's meh....  Well why? IGN felt that the online capabilities did not work well and only one positive review has come out so far. It's more of the same basically and if you aren't a fan of Virtua Fighter what's the bother?
Overall skip this one. Unless you are trying to have a fighting game collection.


Virtua Fighter 5:Final Showdown is rated T.

Critics Consensus: For Greater Glory

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular daily critics opinion for the newest video games and movies! Today it is For Greater Glory a new drama set in the 1920's.

As so many adaptations are being made these days few are about historical events. This one is called For Greater Glory and it has not gotten the best critical acclaim. The Chigaco Sun Times said it had good setpieces and effects but as we saw with Snow White And The Huntsman when a movie has slow pacing and a crappy script, the effects do not really matter.
Overall if you want to see this movie you can and you will learn a few things but that does not amount for the waste of time this movie is.


For Greater Glory is rated R.

My Personal Opinion:Men In Black III

NOTE: This is different than the posts we have on this blog because instead of the critics opinion this is my opinion. This time it is Men In Black III.

I was kinda excited to see this movie actually after the commercial made me think that this would be the worst movie of 2011. Thank god it wasn't. The movie starts really weird with a woman getting scanned for a cake to give to someone. I was confused if this was actually the right movie. Then you see Will Smith's face and you go whew. Don't keep that idea for long though because the movie has really crappy green screen and it feels cheesy and dated. I also hated the plot where the villain is going back in time to get his arm back. Seriously a stupid arm? It gets a bit better but mostly MIB3 feels mediocre and rushed. It is a bit fun to watch but the script is crappy too. I do agree that Josh Brolin's performance was amazing but not enough to save a mediocre movie. Overall Men In Black III is getting a 5.5 from me.

Critics Consensus: Piranha 3DD

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular daily critics opinion for the newest video games and movies! Today it is Piranha 3DD the sequel to 2010's Pirhana 3-D.

 The Weinstein Company is known for making Oscar winning movies. Now it seems weird that they invested in a movie that has a 12% on Rotten Tomatoes. Well why is this movie so crappy? The average critics consensus for Piranha 3DD is that it has too many cameos and too little enjoyable scenes. Village Voice said it had crappy humor and Cinema Crazed said the movie was not fun to watch.
Overall please do not see this. Piranha's eating people used to be fun. 

Piranha 3DD is rated R.
