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. I wonder if the movie will go over 4.5. And that is being generous. Sorry but not worth your time.
Thank you for your review Kostel!
RIPD 2 - Rise of the Damned is a very 'tongue in cheek' Western style comedy with a big hint of science fiction that delivers on what it sets out to do. Leaving aside the technical side of 'Deados' there are some comical conversations between a Sheriff from 1876 and someone from the future.
There's a good look at the weapons required to kill Deado's and within fifteen minutes of the film starting we're back on Earth to begin shooting. It's a confusing mix of plenty of characters and no easily understood plot. The dialogue seems to be most focused on just filling pages than making sense.
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.
Have you seen these?
