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 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.

Aside from the main character being a younger incarnation of Roy from the original "R. I. P. D." and the overarching theme of the cops vs the "Deados", this shares little with the first move. Different actors, cheezy plot, poorly written script... it just FEELS cheap. It almost feels as if this is the result of an elementary school script writing contest. You can miss seeing chunks of this for a bathroom break, or a run for some snacks, and you'll never know it. It is THAT predictable.

No offense intended to Jeff Donovan (Roy Pulsipher). When you're handed a bucket of icky smelling mud, there's only so much you can do with it.

Stay home. Watch the original R. I. P. D. It's MUCH better, and your brain will thank you for it.

Unlike some other reviewers I liked the original and I like westerns. Problem is this was neither one. The only thing this movie had in common with the first is its title and the word dead-o. It was on PPV for $6 but I found it on Netfix and was very glad I didn't waste the $6. The best thing I can say about it is we managed to sit through the whole thing, albeit with groans and complaints. It struggles to be funny, intriguing and visually sensational without achieving any of it. I have the original on DVD and still plug it in once in a while. I wanted to like this and expected more but you'd have to pay me to sit through this again.

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.

Not even close to being good as the first one. The jokes fall flat. They cast the wrong actors. They don't seem to own their roles. The writing is not very good at all. Slang talk was forced. I was excited when I saw this was coming out and man was I disappointed. Honestly this should of never been made. I couldn't finish the movie. They didn't use the right filters. It was too bright and too upbeat. It didn't have a that flair and magic as the first one. Me and my wife didn't enjoy it. We decided to watch the first one instead. I'm not sure what Netflix was thinking. They've been killing it lately on content.

I thought I would see Ryan Reynolds again in this sequel to 2013's R. I. P. D, but understandably, Deadpool could not sign up to this sequel, he is busy at Kevin Feige's M. C. U. P. D.

Eitherway, this is not such a bad sequel. The writing is a little bland and the acting is average, but the overall story, costumes, and direction is not that bad. Jeffrey Donovan gives a nice performance. It was not a necessary sequel, but it was worth the attempt. On average, I would give it a 7/10 as a very generous IMDB user. Not really a must watch, but still a movie worth your time. A good way to unwind after a hectic day!

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.

I loved the original RIPD. I was so excited to learn about this one! Obviously a little upset it was a major studio film or a theatrical release or didnt have any of the original big name actors. But OMG who cares?! THIS was RIPD! I loved everything about it! The new Roy feels just as witty, funny, dry, and sarcastic as Jeff in the original film. I like the new dynamic of his new partner/mentor. I love how the movie doesnt waste time with exposition or making this long winded plot and character development foundation. It just assumes youre a fan of the original, have actually seen the original, and just jumps right in and runs! And if you haven't its STILL a fantastic movie!

Above all else ITS ORIGINAL AND DIFFERENT. And omg popular social opinion forbid: just plain FUN! Hollywood has just been ruined by playing safe and making the same 3 or 5 cliche movie types over and over AND OVER. And all these millennial hipsters will rant and rave over being fed the same unoriginal crap because theyre told to.

Break the mold. Enjoy RIPD2 and enjoy something completely FUN, ENTERTAINING, and FRESH!!!

10/10 because it was such a fun ride!

Before anyone jumps at me with 'what? That movie was horrible how could you like it?' First Jeffrey Donovan, I actually loved him in this role, he's charismatic, flawed, high on his ego, and stubborn but yet Donovan is a perfect fit for this role. I do get why some people didn't like it but for some reason this movie didn't made me hate it. It's a good combination of comedy, special effects, and some good casting. I can't say I hate it, I just can't. It's a guilty pleasure I don't mind admitting I like. So for all the haters, it's a decent prequel for RIPD. Yeah, Donovan is no Jeff Bridges but he actually showed he embraced his role and had fun with it. Some actors would treat their roles like paychecks but I say Donovan worth watching.

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'm guessing this isn't an accurate depiction of the old west, but rather one the writer or writers would've hoped for in this modern age of "don't like factual history so let's make up our own!" I saw the original R. I. P. D and it was great, saw this on netflix and thought it'd be a cool movie as well. Even though it's for ENTERTAINMENT purposes, you should at least try to stay as close to true as possible. I seriously doubt two black women would've been making demands such as they did in this movie. Not only because of skin color but for being women as well. I wasn't around back then, but everyone has a preconceived notion of the old west, thanks to hollyweird. Now they want to imagine it all away!

Watching ice melt would be a better use of your time!

I actually liked the first one but I mean COME ON Ryan Reynolds you can't go wrong there. This sequel was dumb to be honest it didn't make much sense. Acting wasn't that great it's just not worth the time. Phil was supposedly shot and killed in a shoot out leaving his daughter behind. In which suggesting he aged in the after life. Also in the first one they appeared as other people to loved ones but could still speak to them. However in the sequel they can't because it comes out distorted. If you're going to make a sequel you have to stick with it otherwise it just doesn't make sense. I wouldn't watch this again.

Although this movie is perfect, it is enjoyable and watchable, at least once. It is definitely not cult status. Jeffrey Donovan (Roy Pulsipher) played the part well, however, it was a little hard to put his Burn Notice character out of my head, it didn't spoil the movie though. Richard Brake (Otis) always plays the perfect baddie, and he didn't disappoint here.

I didn't compare it to the first one, it was a rather long time since I watched it, so it was kind of like a new movie to me. Some of the special effects were done well and the comedy element was just enough, after all, I didn't want to watch a LOL comedy. I would recommend it.

I didn't think the first film was that good- in fact, I watch this specifically because I thought it would be bad- and I ended up being pleasantly surprised. Is the plot creative? Not necessarily. Is the action fun? Absolutely. It doesn't rely on CGI as much as the first one does end is able to just tell a fun story. The editing is also done in a way that the switches between the characters and their actors isn't jarring and their avatars' actors actually get moments to shine. Truly Unexpected delight. My only real critique is that the actor playing the villain had a pretty flat performance. It's clear the writers focused more on writing the protagonist's scenes than his.

It's 1876 in the American West. Sheriff Roy Pulsipher (Jeffrey Donovan) dies in a shootout with bandits leaving behind his daughter Charlotte. In the afterlife, he is recruited by the Rest In Peace Department to fight the Deados. Jeanne (Penelope Mitchell) is his new work partner.

The first movie was almost universally panned and a box office bomb. I don't like that movie, but probably not as much as most others. I am surprised that they are making a sequel. They obviously downgraded the budget and the production. It's better than a TV movie, but sometimes it reminds me of one. I like the afterlife world, but the movie deteriorates after that. I don't like the old west world. It's too clean. It all feels fake and that's considering that I know it's all fake. The CGI is a bit of a mixed bag. The acting is also mixed. I really don't like the constant switching between the characters and their avatars. There has to be a way to fix that for the franchise. Maybe the avatars are only shown in mirrors. Mostly, I don't like this old west world and that's most of the movie.

Aside from the department that serves to begin the tale (& the rules once joining the department), this story is a whole new beast.

Don't get me wrong, I quite enjoyed the first one! However, where the first was focused more on "let's make the audience chuckle, smile, laugh out loud, and walk away feeling grandly amused" and a touch less on the "storyline that captures the attention" (not suggesting #1 was missing or had a poor storyline, by any means, only that I felt it focus more on the jokes with friends (which makes interrupting fully acceptable) than on the "shut up, I wanna see what happens!").

I appreciated the nods given to the first, but would have liked seeing more (MiB style). Absolutely LOVED the nods to... just gunna say "things you read in books when you were a youngin" (zero-spoilers ^.^ ). They pushed a few corners that I thought were risky, in today's "climate," but I think the fact it always kept to the actual storyline showed a lovely level of skill and awareness.

• The actors = smile-with-a-tear emoji worthy
• The characters = top-shelf
• The story = interesting and a touch exciting
• The jokes = wee bit "higher-brow" than the first, but still goofy enough to inspire memes between friends

Definitely nothing "ground breaking," but for the folks who enjoy a dash of silly in their adventures, I'd certainly recommend.

Clearly a lower-budget sequel, but RIPD 2 generally manages to be much more enjoyable than the first. Swapping the bloated Scooby Doo monsters for normal humans and occasional Venom symbiote looking things was a smart move IMO. I liked the leads, even if some of the line reads were clunky and the avatars accents were an odd choice.

The action is passable, though not particularly amazing. Later scenes have some better choreography and clearly got a little more budgetary love, but there are certainly some awkward cuts and sub-par stage fights in the middle.

Overall, while this isn't anything mind blowing, I went in expecting trash and found myself actually enjoying the straight forward story of an undead sheriff and an undead knight on a quest to stop the apocalypse.

I'm somewhat impartial as I did enjoy the original RIPD despite its bad reviews. However, when I heard the sequel/prequel was made, and that it was a direct market release, I wasn't expecting too much. The movie does lag at times, and certainly doesn't have the cinematic feel of the first movie. However, it's entertaining and if you're not too hard on it somewhat enjoyable. There are some very self-aware parts that tend to grind on you, but other than that, it's what you would expect from the type of movie it is. I would say it's worth looking at if you have some time and if you enjoyed the original, it's not a bad addition.

Its a shame that so many movies now have to carry the social justice sword. Its even worse that movie was unfunny and the characters were just terrible.

Every joke fell flat. I didn't crack a smile.

As for the story. The story made sense and I would have been interested to watch it all the way through but... unlike the first movie, this one sucked. The overall story seemed great but the in between writing was crappy. The dialogue was terrible. The acting was unbearable except for 1 or 2 people.

The sign in the hotel that stated "No Coloreds allowed" would not have existed in Utah. Utah never had segregation and if they would have, it started in 1910.

This movie had a lot of potential just like R. I. P. D did. Yet also like R. I. P. D it missed the mark now its predecessor was much better this movie was far off .R. I. P. D had more of a sentimental feel this movie was clearly rushed and under budget. Clearly a studio quick cash grab while reaching for the social justice sense in hope of a higher box office. Its not the worst movie i've ever seen but if you're a fan of its predecessor I don't recommend it unless you want you're heart broken and disappointed. I won't give too much away but what you would expect of this movie it's not there this movie doesn't live up to its name. I believe this movie series under the right director and budget could've been amazing but here we are.

Ryan Reynolds, big caminos, deados that are cools as stink and have stories. The original worked, back stories aren't hard genuinely follow the script. It's not hard people it's a number 2 watch Austin Powers 2 it's the same thing and one! . I hope you lost as massive amount of money as you've wasted a lot of our time. More listening and learn the lesson!

I have 243 more characters to complete a review that doesn't need to be longer than the above so, suggestions: bring back best loved deados, bring back all the original cast (at least as caminos) spend it to make it, or it's just cheap, like what you have achieved.
