The Dissolve
A film that grows less compelling and original by the minute, R.I.P.D. serves due notice that the mismatched-buddy-cop movie is wearing out its welcome all over again. - 38
McClatchy-Tribune News Service
The worst comic book adaptation since “Jonah Hex.” - 38
USA Today
Perhaps there was a clever germ of an idea here, but the five credited writers didn't develop characters, scenarios or rules in this sci-fi world well enough to engage the audience. - 38
ReelViews
In R.I.P.D., we have a legitimate train wreck of a motion picture: a film that doesn't work on any level. It's not funny. It's not exciting. It's not engaging. It's a waste of time and money. - 36
Film.com
There is a legitimate film in here somewhere, buried deep beneath the rubble of its terrible script and editing. - 20
The Hollywood Reporter
This is a second-rate special effects-dominated 3D entry that will join several prominent would-be blockbusters that need not be mentioned on the summer junk heap. - 20
New Orleans Times-Picayune
It so shamelessly borrows from so many other movies, and then does absolutely nothing to add to them -- nothing to raise the bar, nothing to make it more interesting, and really nothing to make it the least bit appealing. - 12
