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.

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. Go to Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times 09/20/2013

R.I.P.D. isn’t nearly as bad as its near-deafening advance buzz indicated – though, really, what movie could be? – but that doesn’t mean the laughs and gasps are satisfyingly abundant in this loud and clunky sci-fi fantasy action-comedy.

Jordan S. @jswez 5d Funny and entertaining. I don’t get the hate. It’s exactly what you would expect from the synopsis/previews. It’s not trying to reinvent the wheel. See more Haytham O @UtahOcean Apr 2 Despite all its flaws, watch it for the fun. See more Michael N @Midwestmikey Mar 22 This movie was great! Yet another example of movie critics say a movie is bad you better believe it'll be amazing! They have no idea what the general person likes to watch anymore. See more Chris R @RT92015747 Mar 20 A blatant Men in Black knockoff. A rookie agent teams up with his grizzled mentor in a secret agency hunting down supernatural fugitives using flashy gadgets—sound familiar? It’s insulting how dumb it is. Don’t waste a single minute on it. See more Kaden D @RT72531975 Feb 15 Pure fun, and a great concept. The ratings make it look like this movie is garbage. It's not! I honestly didn't see anything wrong with this movie. See more Gerald H @RT00885100 Jan 20 Pure catastrophe. 130 million down the sewer. See more Read all reviews
