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.

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.

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.
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.
