I was wondering how I could have missed this movie? Well, it aint worth a watch, that's why.

The bad: as many other reviewers (rightfully) already complained about the fact that this movie is nothing else but a cheap and inferior copy of the Men In Black.

More bad: the acting by Jeff Bridges is quite annoying. And I love this actor in many other movies, but this time around I just cant stand his cheesy, superficial performance.

Even more bad: it is indeed (as many others alos mentioned) not really funny, while it is definitely suppose to be funny.

Not any good? Well, the photography and the special effects are good. Lots of money was spent on this movie. And for those who never have seen the Men in Black movies, perhaps some might even think this movie is "okay-ish"...

I don't understand all the hate for RIPD. I get that it's invariably gonna be compared with MiB because they share the same theme, but just because MiB is the superior movie doesn't mean RIPD isn't enjoyable. It has a great cast, good special effects, and an interesting premise. Take it for what it is.... If you go into it looking for a masterpiece, prepare for disappointment. If you just want to be entertained by a pretty good sci-fi movie with some solid laughs, try RIPD out. Just my 2 cents.

If this film came to the cinemas in 2011 it could had cleaned up at the box office. However the belated sequel MIB 3 was released in 2012 and this MIB wannabe was left stranded at the gates.

It is not a bad film, it is just we have seen it done before and better with Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones.

Reynolds is likable, Bridges is more likable when we see glimpses of his avatar but he has carried on his mumbling cowboy accent from the True Grit remake which makes you wish there were subtitles.

The initial set up is so signposted the moment you find out that Reynolds is partnered with Kevin Bacon. If only the scriptwriters displayed some original intent or wit.

The movie is decidedly plain and average.
