Summarized review
(for full article review,please read: http://loong-updates.blogspot.com/2013/08/ripd-movie-review.html)

“R.I.P.D” is a movie based on the comic book of the same name. It has similar feel like MIB (Men In Black) series but the enemies are the dead souls instead of the alien.

The Good:

•  It has a well-paced storyline progression and fast action sequence.
•  It has some funny moments which can bring some laughter to the audience.
• Sometimes, the film was shot in a good camera angle for some scenes especially the last part when both of the main characters face a massive group of enemies.
• Good chemistry between Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges

We are R.I.P.D!

The Bad

• However, the plot was quite predictable and you can almost expect what would be coming after every scenes.
• The CGI effects are not that excellent and at some point quite unrealistic and unsatisfying.
• The background setting of the movie is a bit hard to be digested and audience will find it hard to feel engaged with the world in the movie.
• Some obvious plot holes and unexplained matters.

Nick (in old chinese appearance): "Oh man~ She's so hot! Wait..she's a "HE"? @_@
Roy! You are making me so confused!

What can you expect from the movie?

MIB-alike movie with a swap of main characters and types of enemies!

The best part of the movie is what you have already seen from the trailer.
