Review of R.I.P.D. (2013) by Dcedmonds — 13 Nov 2014
"R.I.P.D." 10 Scale Rating: 3.0 (Bad) ...
The Good: Jeff Bridges is pretty good, though you have seen him play similar characters before. His performance alone gives the movie a couple of extra points. Ryan Reynolds was his usual charismatic self, even if he seems to be the same guy in every film.
The Bad: I wouldn't mind that the film rips off Beetlejuice, Ghostbusters, and the Men in Black franchise if it added something new. It doesn't, so the result is a disaster. The story itself is incredibly weak and lazy. The special effects are horrible and cartoon-like, which is unacceptable here in 2013. Kevin Bacon hammed it up and while I don't think he took the film seriously, his performance was unexpectedly poor.
