R.I.P.D. 2: Rise of the Damned

Have no high expectations. Even if you are a hardcore fan of 1st R. I. P. D., this 2nd part will bring you down to earth. The acting is bad, the characters are more like beginners in "playing in movies" (or this is exactly how the director wanted to be like). Either way, I felt like I want to close and do something else. The story is told in a way that a toddler might like it. Tries to be funny, but it is boring actually.

There are some okay SFX that might cast a shimmer of light on the whole film but as a whole, RIPD 2, unless you're a die hard fan of RIPD 1 won't boost your confidence in the film production industry. It's like a mash between Back to the Future 3, Cyborg, The Witcher and a poor Spaghetti Western, maybe that's the point. You've been warned.

I wonder if the movie will go over 4.5. And that is being generous. Sorry but not worth your time.

Why did they change Roy's back story? His story in the first movie was that his body was drug off by coyotes. The coyotes then had thier way with his skull. Are we to believe the townsfolk or his daughter never found his body? And what did he continue to age after joining the ripd? Having none of the original actors killed this movie. Jeff Bridges could have made this work, the current cast couldn't.

It had no magic. You didn't get to know Roy enough to like him before he was dead. He had none of the quirks of the Jeff Bridges version.

After the first 20min of this "comedy" I turned it off. It was just boring and not funny.

I have been an admirer of Jeffrey Donovan ever since the Burn Notice. I have to admit that this movie is a major disappointment, and compared to the first part this one is quite boring and will likely make you fall asleep somewhere around the middle. However the part that I liked was Jeffrey Donovan's cowboy/macho performance that fits this movie perfectly, I can't shake the feeling that the rest of the cast and the movie itself just didn't match his ambitions and performance to make this movie at least a fun watch. So if you appreciate his work and some earlier roles(especially Burn Notice) give this movie a chance, if not skip it because he is the only thing worth watching here.

I found this to be surprisingly entertaining. I'm a huge fan of Jeffrey Donovan...still miss Burn Notice. He didn't disappoint. The movie provides some great comic relief and unexpected heroes.

I'm sure there are many who expect way more of ever movie they watch...I'm just asking to be distracted for a while and the ability to forget about life's struggles for an hour and a half. I got that and then some.

Visual effects were really solid. Quite a few newbies in the cast who look to have some acting chops and a bright future ahead of the. Keep in mind, this movie was never gonna be an Academy Award contender, but it was an very enjoyable watch.

I love ANYTHING with Jeffrey Donavan and as always was pleased with his performance, but that is the best part of this movie. I still say give it a chance cause its a fun watch with some western comedy. And honestly I'm surprised by how good of a western type movie it was, deff an odd twist considering the first one was a cop film. Still its fun to see Donovan as a cowboy, has good action and effects; but the movie never fully feels to just work ya know? Supernatural Comedy Western about Grim Reaper cops is alot to take on in itself, and the movie did the best it could, and looked to have a decent budget. I actually quite liked the first one, but Ryan Reynolds is also great in everything, and would've loved to see a more modern version again for a sequel.
