Reviews

R.I.P.D. received mixed reviews from critics upon its release. While some praised its entertaining premise and the chemistry between Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds, others found the film lacking in originality and depth. Mark Olsen from the Los Angeles Times described it as 'a loud, unfunny, and incoherent action-comedy,' while Variety's Justin Chang criticized its 'lackluster script and uninspired direction.' On the other hand, Roger Ebert's website gave it a more favorable review, highlighting the film's 'fun, popcorn-movie energy' and the charismatic performances of the lead actors. Despite its flaws, R.I.P.D. offers a fun and visually engaging experience for audiences looking for a light-hearted supernatural adventure.
