Review of R.I.P.D. (2013) by Marcus D — 16 Feb 2014
This movie isn't nearly as bad as people say that it is. Sure, I think the budget was overblown, and it kinda felt like watching Men In Black 4, but it was an enjoyable movie with fun performances.
My only real complaints was Ryan Reynold's lack of a Boston accent, and Jeff Bridges' voice. Good god! Why is he talking like that?! it's like he's gargling marbles! But everything else was great.
And Ryan Reynold's character could have a reason to not have a Boston accent. I guess I was just spoiled by The Departed. I think if they lowered the budget, and went darker, more toward The Frighteners, and less like Men In Black, it would have done better.
I'd say it's definitley worth a rent.
