My favorite movie of all time is R.I.P.D.: Rest In Peace Department. It came out in 2013, it stars Ryan Reynolds, and it crashed and burned at the box office. People called it the worst comic book adaptation ever. It’s goofy and campy and predictable, the VFX are “okay” at best, Jeff Bridges really cowboys up his cowboy character, and it’s awesome. I love sci-fi B movies.

The plot of R.I.P.D. is that Ryan Reynolds is a cop, and his partner murders him because Reynolds was going to turn him in for doing crimes. He is promptly recruited to the Rest In Peace Department, an organization of ghost cops who stop ghosts and other undead (gracefully referred to as Deados) from making trouble for mortals. He’s partnered up with an Old West cowboy-lawman (Jeff Bridges) and they save the world together. It thoroughly rips off both Ghostbusters and Men In Black.

And it could seamlessly fit into the Danny Phantom canon.

We already have a ghost cop (Walker), who’s to say there aren’t more? “Eternal Affairs” instead of “Internal Affairs” is a pun that would blend right in. Ryan Reynolds’ character is named Nick Walker; is he related to ghost Walker? Maddie? Both? Neither? Ryan Reynolds played Nick Walker (like every pre-Deadpool character) like an audition for Deadpool and I want to see that energy bounce off with Danny.

R.I.P.D. 2: Rise of the Damned will be released on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital on November 15 via Universal Pictures. The 2022 supernatural action comedy is a prequel to 2013’s R.I.P.D.

Paul Leyden (Come Back to Me) directs from a script he co-wrote with Andrew Klein (MacGyver), based on the 1999 comic book by Peter M. Lenkov and Lucas Marangon. Jeffrey Donovan, Penelope Mitchell, Jake Choi, Richard Brake, Kerry Knuppe, Rachel Adedeji, and Evlyne Oyedokun star.

No special features are included. The trailer and synopsis can be found below. You can also watch the first eight minutes of the movie here.

The Wild West has gone to Hell, literally, and the world's best hope of being saved lies in the gun-slinging hands of Sheriff Roy Pulsipher (Jeffrey Donovan) as he becomes the newest officer for the Rest In Peace Department (R.I.P.D.) enforcing the afterlife's laws. If the Old West was wild while he was alive, wait until Roy sees how weird it gets once he dies. Roy thought joining the R.I.P.D. would give him a chance to revisit his daughter and solve the mystery of his murder. Instead, he has his holsters full with havoc and hellfire when he's given a mission to stop a dangerous demon from opening a portal to the underworld. The fate of the living and the dead now depends on Roy and his partner Jeanne (Penelope Mitchell), a mysterious swordswoman, as cowboys clash with creatures and undead insanity unleashes apocalyptic chaos.

R.I.P.D. (Movie Review) | Still as good but in need of a Blumhouse-esque Reboot

#RIPD (2013) | Still as good but in need of a blumhouse-esq reboot #RyanReynolds #JeffBridge #moviereview #MaryLouiseParker #KevinBacon #Throwback #ThrowbackThursday

Based on the comic book created by Peter M. Lenkov and Lucas Marangon, this movie was written by Matt Manfredi (The Boys) and Phil Hay. Robert Schwentke and stars Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool), Jeff Bridges (The Giver), Mary-Louise Parker (Red Sparrow, Mr. Mercedes), and Kevin Bacon (Blackmass, X: First Class). Premise: A recently slain cop joins a team of undead police officers working for the Rest…

When it was first released in 2013, R.I.P.D. earned a reputation as a "so bad, it's bad" movie, and the film's poor box office performance reflected that. However, in the streaming era, it's gotten a bit of a re-evaluation, and its cult following has been inching the film toward "so bad, it's good" territory. (In fact, it gained enough of a following to warrant a 2022 direct-to-video sequel.) The original film starred Ryan Reynolds, Jeff Bridges, Kevin Bacon, and Mary-Louise Parker. At the time of the movie's opening, Reynolds told us it was an amazing cast to work with.

R.I.P.D. is currently streaming on Netflix and available on DVD, Blu-Ray, and most digital platforms.

R.I.P.D. (2013)

Film review #574

Director: Robert Schwentke

SYNOPSIS: Police officer Nick Walker is killed by his partner Bobby Hayes as he wants to get rid of some gold that the two found on a random drug bust. He finds himself recruited into the R.I.P.D.: The "Rest in Peace Department," which is a supernatural force whose purpose is to hunt down people that have died and still roaming the Earth. Partnered with a veteran officer, the two discover the circumstances behind Nick's death are tied to a much bigger plot...

THOUGHTS/ANALYSIS: R.I.P.D. is a sci-fi action film based on the comic book of the same name. The film opens up with police officers Nick Walker (Reynolds) and Bobby Hayes (Bacon) are discussing some gold they took on a random drug bust, but kept it for themselves. Nick decides he is going to turn the gold into evidence, and Bobby decides to kill Nick at their next drug bust when no one else is around. Nick finds himself dead, but before he is whisked away to the afterlife, he is brought to the R.I.P.D. to be recruited as an officer who specialises in thwarting people who have died and are still hanging around Earth, causing them to transform into hideous creatures called "Deados." Nick is partnered with veteran officer Roicephus "Roy" Pulsipher, who was a sheriff in the Old West before he died, and the two manage to stumble upon a plot that threatens the whole world, which they naturally have to put a stop to. The story can very easily be summed up as a combination of the films Men in Black and Ghost: you can see certain scenes are almost complete cut-and-paste jobs from these two. Alongside this, it doesn't have either the worldbuilding or quickfire comedy of Men in Black, nor the emotional depth of Ghost, leaving a film that just completely fails to build its own identity. The plot of an ancient artifact being built that will wipe out the Earth is basically the plot to every Men in Black film. It feels like the script was just finished at it's first draft, and no one bothered to add in any specific details or worldbuilding to give it some depth. Despite the criticisms, the film actually does a good job of avoiding any boring exposition, and just jumps right into everything and explaining things as it goes. Part of this might be because there's not much to actually explain, but at least the film manages to keep momentum going over the rather short runtime of just over ninety minutes.

The characters are very much what you would expect: Ryan Reynolds is Ryan Reynolds: it doesn't matter what the name of the actual character, because he's just playing the same character he always does. Jeff Bridges playing Old West lawman Roeciphus "Roy" Pulsipher is certainly the stand out performance. Again, he's not got much depth beyond being the "grizzled veteran" type, but it's guaranteed fun every time he is on screen. Kevin Bacon as the villain is unremarkable, and Nick's wife Julia barely leaves a mark. As mentioned, the film lacks and seems to avoid the emotional depth that would have made their relationship and the significance of Nick's death a solid plot point. Even if it was, it wouldn't have been any different from the plot of Ghost (again, as mentioned). The film doesn't seem to know what it wants its audience to be: it doesn't have the established jokes and wit to be a comedy movie for young adults, the lack of emotional drama for older adults, and is a bit too adult for younger viewers, so the film just rushes straight through the middle with nothing sticking to it.

It's difficult to find something else to say about the film, because there's not much content to comment on. The film was blasted for being derivative of other films and a box office bomb, making nowhere near its budget upon release. However, I don't think it's all bad: sure, it has no substance, but it's paced well, and maintains its momentum and energy through to make it a pretty entertaining film with no lulls. R.I.P.D. is the epitome of mindless cinematic entertainment that brings nothing new or significant to the table, but a short bit of fun if you're in the mood.

Summer 2023 - Week 6 in Review

Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today I write to you from the midst of a furious thunderstorm, which I’m hoping will at some point calm down enough for me to get on with some apartment hunting. But whether I am swept away by the torrential rains of August or not, I will at least have left you all with another collection of ramshackle film reviews. This week our cinematic…

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

R.I.P.D. 2: Rise of the Damned

The first film is a great comedy, this one is not. It’s still an okay movie but i didn’t even laugh. The new movie one is more focused on the paired actors, but despite going places it’s toothless and doesn’t do anything with the setting. The original barely had the real bodies, this one shows them too much and without discretion. There’s rarely a reason to show one or another pair and sometimes…

I am watching "R.I.P.D." I love it when Roy (who appears as a woman to the living) gives this speech to the "music producer." Loving Jeff Bridges's delivery. And that sassy little card toss at the end.

Sure would love to say the same thing to the jackass who called me a certain word you should NEVER call a woman.
