was forced to watch this movie as a joke and it took literal years off my life. ryan reynolds needs to be wiped off the face of the planet.
who would have guessed that a movie about the boston police department would turn out to be incredibly racist
down with CGI FOREVER!!!

July 13th, 1990. Paramount Pictures releases GHOST. It's a big summer movie with big movie stars and impressive special effects, but it's also a love story and an examination of how people handle grief and loss. It's entertainment, but entertainment with at least a little brains, made for adults.
July 19th, 2013. Universal Pictures releases R.I.P.D. It's a big summer movie with big movie stars and impressive special effects. It's basically the same concept as GHOST -- young husband is tragically killed (and SPOILER ALERT his best buddy is responsible) but on the way to the other side he's stranded on Earth to right a wrong -- only all the interesting things about GHOST (the love story, the grief, the…

Amazing.
R.I.P.D. is simply amazing.
It takes a pretty promising concept and force feeds it several gallons of Red Bull, a truckload of sugar and a bathtub of coffee, smothers it in discount, two for one CGI, creating an ADHD fuelled, moronic sugar rush of 90 minutes. Sure, it gets brownie points for not giving a shit, but still, a script and some characters would have been nice. Oh, and some originality. And an actual half decent plot. And a brain.
The only reason this has to be seen is Jeff Bridges' performance. He must have realized that this script was so bad that he just decided to go with it and make it even worse. Either that, or I want whatever he's on.

I enjoyed this...fuck you.
Review by Voltron 2005 ★½ 4

This is a wanna be Men in black but it's poorly made with a plot that has been done numerous times before and horrible cgi. Jeff Bridges character mumbles 90% of the time and has an very annoying voice. The movies tried to be spectacular but failed miserably. Worth watching on a rainy day.

90-some-odd minutes you'll be begging for on your deathbed.

"Men In Black is cool... but what if it was just a little bit worse?"
Review by A. J. Black ★ 4

Perhaps a better title for Robert Schwentke's adaptation of Peter M. Lenkov's comic book series Rest in Peace Department would have been 'Dead in Black', or maybe 'Deadbusters', because RIPD has to be the most shameless attempted rip-off of both Men in Black & Ghostbusters we've ever been served. You'd think that attempting to xerox two such vibrant, funny, exciting sci-fi comedy adventures would mean RIPD might, if not equal them which of course would be a mighty tough order, at least give them a run for their money, but no... Schwentke's adaptation is leaden, poorly written, blandly performed, feels double it's fairly sprightly length, has some quite wobbly CGI and the most obvious narrative known to cinema. It is one…
Review by tobias (: ★½

the things I’ll watch for Ryan Reynolds, huh? this takes itself way too seriously given the concept and execution and might have felt less stupid if they’d kept the plot truer to the comic but instead they just did almost a straight rip of men in black with the uniquely dreadful 2013 cgi effects. really just not either as interesting or fun as it sets out to be and I do not appreciate the steely dan slander

Review by Andy Summers ★★ 2

You know those times when you think, WTF, I'll give this one another shot? Well Jesus, why did I do this to myself? I remember thinking on my previous and only watch that Ryan Reynolds needed a hit more than a clucking junkie having barely came away from Green Lantern with his career intact. The barren years continued for another couple until Deadpool would give Reynolds his defining cinematic character, but during that time Jeff Bridges had had a career reinvigoration with stellar work for the Coens, a villainous role in the MCU, and a long awaited Academy Award for Crazy Heart. Bridges however must have had a brain-freeze to star in this old shit, but then again he brings a certain something to whatever he stars in. I didn't find it quite as annoying as last time thankfully, but in retrospect there's a sock drawer I could have been tidying rather than watching this.

Have you ever spoken to a rugby player with a mouth guard in his mouth moments after an injury that gave him concussion?
I have.
He was more audible than Jeff Bridges in this movie.
Review by 1800Cal ★½

#1
A very rocky adaptation to a comic that may actually be quite good in comparison. Opportunities for a rich, lore-filled world traded in for some extremely poor quality CGI that felt like a PlayStation 2 Cutscene.
Fun nonetheless with Jeff Bridges often stealing the spotlight, deservedly.
Review by Eric Altieri ★★

A lot of memories from when I worked on this make it a fun experience. Yet, I can’t help but notice so many flaws in this movie. SO much ADR!

Very not good. However, it earned a star for making my simple monkey brain chuckle a few times.

I wish this movie were realistic because every cop would get sent to hell and it would be over by the 10-minute-mark.
