areaseven Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 So this is what you get when you mix Men in Black with Ghostbusters. R.I.P.D. is a 3D supernatural action film based on the Dark Horse Comics series Rest in Peace Department by Peter M. Lenkov (Demoliton Man, Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever). The film is directed by Robert Schwentke (Red, Flightplan) and stars Jeff Bridges, Ryan Reynolds, Kevin Bacon and Mary-Louise Parker. R.I.P.D. hits theaters on July 19.

DarrinG Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Well I'm a HUGE LSB fan - so I will have to check out his work on it! I am not the target market for this kind of movie as I never even saw MIB... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

areaseven Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Ouch!Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 9%Metacritic Score: 14"The worst comic book adaptation since Jonah Hex." - Roger Moore, McClatchy-Tribune News Service"For a movie that so strenuously rips off Ghostbusters and Men in Black, R.I.P.D. manages to come up with fresh new ways of being absolutely terrible. The plot manages to be fully predictable and freakishly bonkers at the same time, seemingly born of the same kind of brainstorming-on-L.S.D. session that must have given us Howard the Duck." - Kyle Smith, New York Post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
