Critics Consensus:Edge Of Tommorow

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new sci fi action thriller Edge Of Tomorrow.
Tom Cruise can't catch a break can he? I mean sure he's been in his fair share of terrible films but Edge Of Tomorrow has something special going for it. It has a Groundhog Day like ascetic all with an alien invasion synopsis. Ironically audiences aren't really seeing this movie because it looks too generic while the generic movies tend to be the one that crack big at the box office. Let's see why Edge Of Tomorrow was really robbed of it's #1 box office position.
1. It shows that Tom Cruise hasn't lost his character and is still making amazing movies -Chicago Sun Times
2.The plot is AMAZING-ReviewsOnTheRun
3.It's imaginative in every single damn way-Concrete Playground
OK you get the point. But wait theres more. Here's a couple more quotes to throw at you. "total blast" "endlessly entertaining" "badass and wise" "beats the clock"
Overall you HAVE to see this movie.
Edge Of Tomorrow is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus:The Fault In Our Stars

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new movie based off of the hit John Green novel, The Fault In Our Stars!!
Back in 2011 a little book came out called The Fault In Our Stars. It was written by John Green who had made plenty of teenage romance books before that had lots of charm and wit but sadly never really enough commercial success. And then The Fault In Our Stars happened. It's catch that made it so successful?(If you can call it that) the kids have cancer. Hollywood wouldn't wanna screw up a movie like that right? Right?
Thank the stars yes apparently. Despite having many appearances on horrible cliche networks like MTV critics are saying that this movie has some wonderful pacing,a beautiful soundtrack, and tough emotional moments that are like nothing you have seen in a teenage movie before. Shy away Twilight. This is one film that truly deserves all the acclaim it gets.
Overall see this movie.
The Fault In Our Stars is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus:Ultra Street Fighter IV

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new Street Fighter update! (Don't we get one of these like every 6 months?)
Capcom's reupdated Street Fighter for the last time now as next gen consoles are pretty much taking over. So let's see if the new last-gen Street Fighter is something to stick with until we get Street Fighter 5 or a up-rezed version of Street Fighter 4. Yay repetition. 
Fortunately critics (10 to be exact) say that this is the best Street Fighter yet. IGN praised it for it's attention to fan's requests and how nearly the game is close to perfection compared the Street Fighter 4 we got years ago. The new characters like Decapre and Poison are pretty cool too as Meristation said it made the roster even better. They got Street Fighter down ladies and gentlemen. Now it's the long road to Street Fighter 5.
Overall get this game.
Ultra Street Fighter IV is rated T.

Critics Consensus:Murdered Soul Suspect

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new murder mystery themed game Murdered:Soul Suspect!!
Murdered:Soul Suspect was announced at a very interesting time. A time where pretty much no new IP was being announced, Square Enix was in financial straits (again) and instead of churning out the 300th Final Fantasy game they banked on this made by the developers of such not so hits like Dark Void and the interesting but mediocre game that was supposed to "save" the Ouya. So it had to be good right?
Right? Not so much. While Murdered:Soul Suspect has had one of the most interesting plots for a video game in years (one in which you have to solve your own murder)  but the game is sadly very linear,short, and glitchy as described by Polygon,Joystiq, and GameInformer. Sure the script and characters are cool and interesting but the other things are really the meat in the pie which is why Murdered:Soul Suspect is disappointing for a game that got so much buzz.
Overall only get this if you want to.
Murdered:Soul Suspect is rated M.

Critics Consensus:A Million Ways To Die In The West

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Seth Macfarlane's all new movie A Million Ways To Die In The West!
Back in 2012 we thought Seth Mcfarlane's movie career was going to flush down the drain pretty quickly as a lot of people hate Family Guy and Ted, his movie about a profanity filled teddy bear come to life was deemed before release as just that. And it came out and we laughed all of our asses off. All of us. So what has Mcfarlane been up to now?
Sadly it's not making good movies thats for sure. A Million Ways To Die In The West has a 33% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 44 on Metacritic. It's been criticized for being way too long,having all the good jokes in the trailer, and the great lengthy cast not really meaning anything at the end. Oh well Mcfarlane. Better luck next time. (Cited:Aisle Seat,The Playlist,Wall Street Journal)
Overall only see this movie if you really want to.
A Million Ways To Die In The West is rated R.
