'Red' Filmmaker To Direct Ryan Reynolds In 'R.I.P.D.' Adaptation.

[I SEE SPIDEY]

130M is Universal's number but they were reshooting this movie for TWO years so it could be much more. We'll see what Deadline will write in their boxoffice report this weekend.

You are correct, I've read on both The Wrap and Variety that the budget is rumored to be much higher than 130mil. I wouldn't be surprised if it were 180-200mil when all was said and done.

 

[jacobed]

When you hear a movie like Wwz's budget rocketed to 200 million at least it shows on screen. This movie however bleh nothing on screen shouts 200 million or even 130 million. This looks awful and its going to bomb huge

 

[Destructus86]

Wait, is this out yet?

I've barely been watching it. The CGI looked horrible and it just seemed like MIB with monsters instead of aliens...

 

[ShadowBoxer]

This movie looks like a Men in Black rip off. I will defintely pass on seeing this in theaters, maybe when it hits the really cheap theater in my area that charges only 3 bucks or when it hits redbox or FX or HBO. Will probably end up seeing the new horror movie the conjuring this weekend since people are ranting and raving about it.

 

[Destructus86]

I practically have a man crush on Bridges and I still don't see it. LOL

The CGI is Van Helsing awful. It looks like they didn't even try to make it look decent. I wish Reynolds would just stop chasing franchises already.

Reynolds needs to fire his agent.
I hope this movie does decent though, sucks that if it were made a decade and a half ago it would have been a sure hit.

 

[Tanin]

It is a shame how many people won't watch something because it is similar to something else. I've seen so many people assume it is a MIB ripoff they won't even give it a chance. Perhaps it is, but it can still be great.

If it wasn't for the horrid CGI that is.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I'm amazed by how bad the CGI looks, especially considering the budget. It looks like a Stephen Sommers movie in some scenes.

Reynolds should just stick to small budgeted films

It's not going to do decent numbers, you can be sure of that. I like Reynolds and Bridges but the movie looks like low rent garbage, I'm not going to root on movies like it to succeed.

The cgi in Van Helsing was aweful? It's almost 10 years old and there are still plenty of films with worse special effects imao

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Yes, the CGI in Van Helsing was and is awful.

 

[Lord]

Not really







This, is bad cgi:

I have noted it in my Benedict Cumberbatch sticker covered trapperkeeper that you disagree with me. Now I will get back to discussing R.I.P.D's bad visual effects, bad trailer, bad marketing, soon to come bad reviews and box office.

Is this movie's CGI realistic? Nope. But I wouldn't call it bad at all. It seemed like it was going for a cartoon-like vibe come to life for the whole film and the effects match up with the tone of the film. I'd say more realism would seriously look awkward and off in this. Some movies should just not have realistic character effects.

WWZ does not look like it even comes close to $200m.

Agree with this.

This, is bad cgi:

You just basically took bad CGI and compared it with worse CGI and said "because this worse CGI exists this bad CGI is actually good."

That's a bit like saying "You're not actually thirsty. That skeleton over there is thirsty. He's about to crumble to dust."

 

[DarthSkywalker]

The problem is there are no degrees. By these standards there is "bad cgi" in the Avengers and Man of Steel.

 

[Ultimatehero]

How is it bad CGI? It's not realistic, true, but the tone of this film is far from realism and the cartoonish effects compliment the TONE of the film. If it was going for realism and had effects that made it seem cartoonish - okay, that's one thing. But, everything is pointing to that not being the case. Realistic effects here would have been a bad thing because it wouldn't compliment the tone of the film and I'd go as far to say it may look extremely awkward. Bad CGI is when it doesn't compliment the tone of the film - there was an Escape from New York in space film that came out a year ago where this truly shows.

CGI doesn't look worse than let's say the first MIB, maybe they were going for that more cartoony effect to match the tone of the film?

Anyway, movie itself still looks terrible. Not because it looks similar to MIB, but because it looks like a crappy version of MIB. Similarity itself I've never had huge problems with as long as the movie is also good in itself and/or have other own qualities.

Also know as Men In Black II.

Agree with this.

Sure it does. All those big expansive action scenes, the zombies were decently cg'd.

I will repeat. Not even close. Not in the world that has films like Skyfall, the Avengers and Man of Steel. Decent CGI does not exist in such an expensive film. Not on such an important piece of the film.

Not really, i'm putting those images because i don't think they're bad CGI, and then i put something which i trully consider bad CGI.
