Critics Consensus: The Odd Life Of Timothy Green

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is The Odd Life Of Timothy Green.

Well here's something that comes every year.  A new comedy that is supposed to be heartfelt and is made by Disney. 50% chance that it is usually good. 43% is what it has on Rotten Tomatoes and same on Metacritic. Even St. Louis Dispatch the review site that gives positive reviews to crappy movies (by average critics standards.) hated this movie. The Newark Star Ledger and USA Today called it contrived. Lastly the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said that it was not that heartfelt.
Overall this is an indefinite skip but if your kids want to see this movie make sure you have something to keep busy.

The Odd Life Of Timothy Green is rated PG. 

Critics Consensus: Darksiders 2

NOTE: Since this is a giant release for the video game industry we will have a giant post.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Darksiders 2 the sequel to 2010's Darksiders.

Graphics:
Though the graphics in Darksiders 2 are not the most realistic because your Death in the game and you look pretty un-realistic. Official Xbox Magazine praised the art direction. Another UK Magazine (X360 Magazine UK) said the game looked beautiful. Lastly Destructoid called the art style "killer" . So the graphics are impressive as stated by critics. Though if you want realistic graphics look elsewhere.
Gameplay:
 The combat in Darksiders 2 was called near-perfect by Darkstation. Gamesradar called the exploration addictive,and lastly Gaming Nexus called it the game gamers deserve. The kill,kill,stab,kill may get a bit repetitive but the exploration makes up for it as most critics said.
Other(Sound,Plot):
The boss fights are not as memorable and the plot is kind of thin but Darksiders 2 will satisfy most of the gaming realm.
Overall:
Overall you should get this game. It is fun and you will be playing it forever.
Trailer:

Darksiders 2 is rated M.

Critics Consensus: Hope Springs

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Hope Springs a new romantic comedy.

Well good news. There is a new romantic comedy and it actually is not half bad. It is called Hope Springs and stars Steve Carell,Meryl Streep, and Tommy Lee Jones. It so far has a 74 on Rotten Tomatoes and a 66 on Metacritic. Of course Meryl Streep steals the show as stated in the review by The Tolucan Times. The only problems about Hope Springs is that it is a little depressing as explained by The Denver Post. Though the funny heartfelt comedy and great acting make up for the little missteps.
Overall you should see this movie. If you do not want to see it that is fine. 

Hope Springs is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus: The Campaign

NOTE: Hope Springs will be covered on Monday because of delays from my vacation.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is The Campaign a new comedy with Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis.

You know when a movie has Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis it's gonna be over the top. However you do not expect it to be OK and not made just for laughs. Richard Roeper said that there was lot's of funny sh*t in this movie but was a bit mad for it being too over the top. Detroit News called it an average Will Ferrell movie and SSG Syndicate complained about it being too vulgar. The Campaign is just on the edge of the cliff for critics opinions. It is fairly funny though so there is that.
Overall see this movie if you wanna and do not see it if you do not want to see it.

The Campaign is rated R.

Critics Consensus: Sound Shapes

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Sound Shapes a new music game on the Playstation Vita.

The Playstation Vita has been tripping on all the bad games lately. Well it tripped on a piece of gold. That piece of gold was Sound Shapes. Giant Bomb gave Sound Shapes a 10\10. So did Game Revolution. It was given 11 9's out of 10's. Why? Well Sound Shapes has great execution as described by 3D Jeugos. Eurogamer Portugal praised the gameplay and visual design. Better yet it has 3 new songs by the alternative rock artist Beck which was praised in Level7.nu's review.
Overall is that enough to make you buy this game? I will keep pestering you if you do not buy it. I am being serious.

Sound Shapes is rated E.
