2* Most Critics Consensuses are rather matter-of-fact, except with maybe a pun thrown in. However, there are times where they take the opportunity for a joke, especially if the movie's reviews are particularly bad:
3** The consensus for ''WesternAnimation/TheEmojiMovie'' consists entirely of the 🚫 emoji.
4** ''Film/NineLives2016'' simply states, "Not meow, not ever."
5** ''Film/TurboAPowerRangersMovie'' [[WaxingLyrical waxes on the lyrics]] of the theme song, rewriting it to go "No, no, Franchise/PowerRangers."
6** ''Film/{{Gotti}}'' is the only one as [[BeigeProse reduced]] as ''The Emoji Movie'': [[FunetikAksent "Fuhgeddaboudit."]]
7** ''Film/HighlanderIITheQuickening'': [[{{Tagline}} There should have been]] [[{{Sequelitis}} only one.]]
8** ''Film/LeftBehind2014'', being about the Rapture, went for YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe: "Yea verily, like unto a plague of locusts, ''Left Behind'' hath begat a further scourge of devastation upon Creator/NicolasCage's once-proud filmography."
9** ''Film/GodsOfEgypt'' borrowed from ''Ozymandias'': "Look on ''Gods of Egypt'', ye filmgoers, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay of this colossal wreck, boundless and bare. The lone and level sands stretch far away. (Apologies to [[Creator/PercyByssheShelley Shelley]].)"
10** ''Film/{{Cats}}'' had [[HurricaneOfPuns all the puns possible]]:
11--->'''Critics Consensus''': Despite its fur-midable cast, this ''Cats'' adaptation is a clawful mistake that will leave most viewers begging to be put out of their mew-sery.
12** For ''Film/BarneysGreatAdventure'', RT pulls no punches (hardly surprising, considering the film stars, [[invoked]][[PeripheryHatedom well]], [[Series/BarneyAndFriends Barney the Dinosaur]]); it uses the series' own ThemeTune against them.
13--->'''Critics Consensus:''' Barney's friends are big and small / They come from lots of places / But after this film, their parents / [[SuckinessIsPainful Will be left with pained faces.]]
14** ''Film/HomeSweetHomeAlone'' simply states "Nobody's ''Home''."
15** ''Action Point'', a film starring Creator/JohnnyKnoxville showcasing a fictional version of Ride/ActionPark, only says "Ouch."
16** ''Film/{{Blacklight}}'' just reads "Turn it off."
17** ''Film/Troll2'' has [[ReviewIronicEcho one of the film's own quotes:]] [[BigOMG "Oh my God."]]
18** ''Film/ReturnOfTheLivingDeadPartII'' just reads "Zero brains."
19** ''Film/WinnieThePoohBloodAndHoney'' just reads "Oh, bother."
20** ''Film/VampiresKiss'': "[[MemeticMutation He's a vampire! He's a vampire! He's a vampire!]]"
21** In response to ''Conversations With God'', the consensus muses, "At some point in the conversation, God must have asked for a subtler, deeper film."
22* Their review of ''Film/GoodLuckChuck'' derides the film as having "all the engaging magnetism of an unflushed toilet."
23* On ''Film/BasicInstinct2'': "Even the ice pick looks like it really doesn't want to be there."
24* Despite the universal critical acclaim of the second season of ''Series/SlowHorses'' (A perfect 100% score), RT couldn't resist sneaking in a horse pun: "''Slow Horses'' says neigh to the sophomore jinx with a second season that might be even better than its supremely addictive predecessor."
