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.

If Rise of the Damned does anything right, though, it makes the 2013 movie look better by comparison.

Rated: 1/5

Starburst

Its lore is messy and unclear, the backstory of Roy is altered needlessly, and more chronically than that, this film is kneecapped by its own struggles to justify its existence.

Rated: 1/5

If there's any real problem with it, it's that the story gets a little too complicated as the movie gets deeper into the second act.

R.I.P.D. 2 never escapes its entirely disposable design.

Embarrassing script, silly story, lacks the humour and characters from the original, should never have been revived.

I actually enjoyed the first movie but this is absolutely terrible and I mean everything about it, the plot, the acting or lack there of and the script. Avoid it!

Slightly comical, and worthwhile watching when you have nothing better to do, but it has hardly any relation to R.I.P.D. 1, which surely was a fantastic monster action comedy. This sequel, if one can call it a sequel, has none of those fascinating and funny monsters. The story is odd and only has some decent CGI of a demon very close to the end. Don't expect any great action like in the original edition, though there is some B-movie style action, like this was shot for a dollar and a half. 5/10 points.

This could have been a thoughtful and exciting sequel to somewhat of a cult classic. But no, the writers had to ruin it about 15 minutes in.

This move was horrendous, I'm not sure why they decided to change Roy's back story a great deal. The acting was below subpar, all in all, a very messy movie trying to piggy back off a previously mediocre film. I don't think its predecessor deserved a sequel, or even a green light for that matter. However, here we are. Although it's terrible, I recommend you watch and form your own opinion and thoughts, if we've all learned anything from this site is that the critics often leave misguided reviews. Good luck, keep watching! Side note: the CGI and VFX were tremendously well done.
