	Media	Author	Review
		Lou Lumenick New York Post	"Every movie coming out this year but 'R.I.P.D.' should pause for a big sigh of relief: The possibility of any of them being called the worst cinematic effort of 2013 has, as of today, just about disappeared (...) Rating: ½ (out of four)"
		Tim Grierson Screendaily	"'R.I.P.D.' aspires to the hip, zippy, irreverent spirit of 'Men In Black', but this effects-heavy action-comedy is simply too unremarkable to generate much of a pulse"
		Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"What’s missing is what’s often absent in industrial moviemaking of this type: story and characters, yes, but also the human touch and a sense that someone behind the scenes actually cares about the work."
		Todd McCarthy 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."
		Scott Foundas Variety	"Thank heavens (...) for Jeff Bridges, whose hilariously free-associative performance (...) is like an adrenaline shot to the heart of R.I.P.D."
