R.I.P.D.

A light-hearted, bite-size snack. A bit like Men in Black with ghosts instead of aliens. Here and there a snappy line, here and there a good idea, but nothing world-shattering. Bridges is funny, but steals the show too much, Reynolds is average. The best are scenes with their human avatars (the blond with the hairdryer), a shame there weren’t more. (26/10/2013)

The pace is solid, the story is unorthodox in its thematic basis, and a few jokes bring out a brief smile, but it's bland, unfunny and ultimately unoriginal. Bridges is fine but overacts a lot in places, Reynolds seems to be elsewhere in spirit and Bacon does the cheapest caricature of himself imaginable. Instead of a targeted summer blockbuster, it’s a bland derivative film that will disappoint even those who don't expect anything great from it. (01/05/2016)

I liked the movie, it's not a masterpiece. The action is definitely not everywhere, but at least the actors don't say too much nonsense. Actually, the film's dialogues are quite decent. If you're in the mood for a decent movie that doesn't try to be more than it is, namely an entertaining movie with an interesting idea, you will enjoy it. Yes, you probably won't leave the cinema amazed, but from what I observed, I didn't see a single disgusted face leaving the cinema. I consider this a positive, as well as the laughter I heard in the cinema. I also had a good time. It's not an overwhelming film, just a film for an evening, plus with a great Mary-Louise Parker.

I didn't get to laugh much, and I was really annoyed by the film’s predictable plot. Things could hardly be saved by Ryan Reynolds and his standard poker face or Jeff Bridges’ garrulous character. It wasn’t a disaster, but an average rating is enough. (24/07/2019)

Sometimes in America they manage to shoot a film which is an obvious bullshit since the beginning. Ryan Reynolds can consider himself lucky that he was saved by Deadpool, because after this movie and Green Lantern I would have otherwise considered him the worst fantasy blunderer of Hollywood. Which almost happened. If not for the one good character, portrayed by Jeff Bridges, which is an example of the typical inadaptable characters, I would rate this movie even lower. Ryan Reynolds and Kevin Bacon played real dumbasses and it was really hard to just get used to it in that hour and a half. (15/04/2016)
