Leave your thoughts about R.I.P.D..
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfIt doesn't seem likely we'll encounter an R.I.P.D. 2, but if the dead cops do manage to return to the screen, I hope they'll find a filmmaker interested in excitement and hilarity, not just numbing eye candy. |
| National PostChris KnightYou won't see it popping up on any best-of lists, but it is an adequate 96-minute time-waster. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderWastes whatever potential it had with bland, jokey dialogue and mediocre action that is expensive yet looks cheap. |
| honeycuttshollywood.comKirk HoneycuttWhatever were the Universal execs thinking when they green lit this mega-expensive turkey? |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekYet another comic-book adaptation that should have stayed on the page...aims to be loopy and cool but only succeeds at being dumb and boring. |
| Rip It UpDavid 'Mad Dog' BradleyBridges has fun slumming here, but even he can't save it from kicking the bucket about halfway through. |
| 2UE That Movie ShowBlake HowardR.I.P.D may look like something that you've seen before (and you kind of have) but with deft direction, the primal allure of redemption and lightning pace; prepare for a surprisingly entertaining ride. |
| ScreenAnarchyJason GorberR.I.P.D. is exactly as bad as you expected it to be from the trailer. |
| Mania.comRob VauxRarely has the phrase "going through the motions" felt more fitting. |
| The MercuryTim MartainIt was nice to watch a movie that had no delusions of grandeur, a simple flick that both plays to its strengths and makes light of its own weaknesses. |
