What a soul-crushingly by-the-numbers movie this is. Maybe the comic book it is adapted from has a bit more character but this blockbuster is a real stinker. It probably shouldn’t be too much of a surprise with Robert Schwentke (RED and Flightplan) at the helm but I was hoping the charismatic cast might have elevated it above the crappy Men in Black knock-off that it so obviously is.
Ryan Reynolds stars as a recently murdered cop who joins the Rest in Peace Department - a group of deceased officers saving the world from rogue Deados - as he tries to foil a plan to bring on the apocalypse. Teaming up with Jeff Bridges’ sheriff from the 1800s the pair trade…
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.
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.
A sometimes painfully inert action comedy wastes the chemistry between Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges. The actors clearly look like they're having fun.
Too bad the audience isn't.
You look at your phone checking how long you've been waiting for the movie to get better.
You're RIP before it does.
RIP Don't.
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…
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

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.

It seemed like an entertaining enough movie. Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds as dead policemen hunting some dead people. Actually, it seemed like a total ripoff of Men in Black, but an entertaining one anyway. Quite naturally, it wasn't.
Even ignoring the fact that the screenplay is like a fishnet - literally made of holes - it's a pretty bad movie. There's no story to begin with and the cast is horrible. Jeff Bridges seems to be having fun, but in a bad way for the audience. When it finally reached it's oh so predictable conclusion, I was just glad it was over.
Extremely avoidable.
Really disappointing considering the talent involved. I got serious sub-Men In Black vibes which is not great for a film that came out 16 years later. Feels incredibly dated now, and I think it would of even upon release.
It's late on Ash Wednesday. An Asian teenager in a slammed-out Acura offers you a plate of chicken vindaloo. Do you accept?
This is a really funny movie with a surprisning deep (at times anytime). I don't really know what to say - I just love it.
*Watched as part of Scavenger Hunt #70*
Love that woman the plays the wife, but while gorgeous and talented she is a strong omen a movie will be terrible. That omen rang true in this case as well.
9/76 in #JustJeffJanuary
I’m giving a star to Mary-Louise Parker, only her.
Half a star to Bridges. Watching this after Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, highlighted that he still plays the hell out of the buddy role but I have to dock him slightly for the mumbles.
If movies have taught me anything it's never trust Kevin Bacon if it's not the 1980s.
9/10 on the scale of Jeff Bridges mumbles.
