What to Know

Critics Consensus

It has its moments -- most of them courtesy of Jeff Bridges' rootin' tootin' performance as an undead Wild West sheriff -- but R.I.P.D. is ultimately too dim-witted and formulaic to satisfy.

Rated: 0/5 Jan 9, 2017 Full Review R.I.P.D. | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Mark Kermode Observer (UK) Overall, it's a directionless mess: too expensive for a B-movie, too grown-up for a kids' movie (funerals, bereavement and jokes about Steely Dan) and too infantile for everyone else.

Nikki K Loved this movie. Don't know why I've never watched it before. Great acting by Geoff Bridges, Ryan Reynolds and Kevin Bacon. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/06/24 Full Review Pongo K Ok to pass the time. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/23/24 Full Review Zabir M Bing watch both 1 and 2 movies. For this I think it’s fine but not the best of Reynolds. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/23/24 Full Review hila r Ryan Reynolds has big potential, in this movie you see only 1% of that, disappointing. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/22/24 Full Review Spikecat Fun and well-made. Jeff and Ryan are amazing! 83/100 Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/28/24 Full Review Cash S R.I.P.D. is a pretty big misfire. This really stinks, because it does have a really cool concept, and a great cast. The cast is probably one of the only good aspects of the film, with Ryan Reynolds, Jeff Bridges, and Kevin Bacon actually doing a really good job, despite being give some pretty bad material to work with. I'd be lying if I said I didn't laugh at all during this movie, because it does actually have a few clever jokes. Other than that, though, this is an awful movie. The special effects are terrible, and the action isn't anything special either. The big problem is the writing. They try to do a buddy-cop mystery in here, but the mystery isn't captivating at all, and the story just feels like, they chase this dead guy with some low brow humor, and they either die or get away, and than it repeats itself. A lot of the humor in here is just some really low brow gross-out humor, and some stuff that's just plain weird and not funny. The movie is also kind of forgettable, which I guess is kind of good thing, because I don't why you'd want to remember a lot of this. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review Read all reviews
