Critics Consensus: Step Up Revolution

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Step Up Revolution another Step Up movie! (Yay........)

Bob: "So another Step Up movie is coming out this week".
Bill (Reading The Newspaper): "Oh that's cool".
Bob: .............
Bill: "Hang on a second Step Up? They are making another movie to that mediocre franchise"!
That's how I reacted when I heard this movie was coming out. Well the critics agree with me too. A 33% on Rotten Tomatoes does not lie. Globe And Mail said Delivers plenty of spectacular fancy footwork in what is otherwise a flat-footed fantasy. CinemaLogue.com said that it was aggressively stupid and incoherent. 
Overall looks like there's another piece of crap on Fridays plate. Yay....


Step Up Revolution is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus: The Watch

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is The Watch a new sci-fi comedy.

Once in a while a semi big release for the movie industry gets a 20% or lower on Rotten Tomatoes. Unfortunately that is the case with the new sci fi comedy called The Watch. In fact The Watch is so disgusting that The New York Daily News compared it to Howard The Duck which has a 16% on Rotten Tomatoes. Slightly higher than this piece of crap. The Toronto Star stated that The Watch is a predictable and lazy comedy wrapped around a penis joke occasionally enlivened with some funny lines.  
Overall so stardom and a 70 million budget could not help this movie. Lets throw it in the garbage disposal.

The Watch is rated R.

Critics Consensus:Wreckateer

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

Microsoft usually delivers strong downloadable titles for their promotional sales like Summer Of Arcade. Kinect has not gotten the best critical reception and while Wreckateer is not a wreck it is better than slightly mediocre. Most critics called the game a good Kinect game but not a good game overall for example Vandal Online and Eurogamer Spain stated that in their review. The problems about Wreckateer is that the level design needs to be better as well with the clunky Kinect controls as GameRevolution and Mondo Xbox exclaimed.  So if you can not control a game what is there to it?
Overall do not get this game but if you have a Kinect and only used it to play Dance Central you should get this.


Wreckateer is rated E10+.

Critics Consensus: Ruby Sparks

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Ruby Sparks a new indie comedy.

The phrase Ruby Sparks can mean virtually anything. Ruby sparks in the sky, some one named Ruby spontaneously combusting, some one named Ruby having a great idea and many many more. Luckily this film is not one of the bad definitions to the movie's title. Ruby Sparks is not amazing per-say but just good enough to get a 68 on Metacritic and almost a 80% on Rotten Tomatoes. The AV Club praised the script and so did the Newark Star Ledger. The best thing that critics loved about Ruby Sparks was it's genuine sweetness. Even though IndieWIRE also cherished the acting TIME thought it was week and The New York Observer did so too. I guess everybody can not be happy.
Overall you should go see this movie. You will love it.'
Ruby Sparks is rated R.
