I wonder if they can find a happy medium between Ryan Ryenolds 'comedy' and 'action' that doesn't equal the end result of a flop.

😐 that doesn't seem to be what it's about at all.. I hope that doesn't turn out to be in the plot or a sub plot at all.

Well, it's actually pretty similar.
Reynolds is Nick Walker(Agent J), a normal cop who because of his talent is selected to join the R.I.P.D. (MIB) A secret and elite agency that no one aside from the agency itself, allies, and beings they apprehend/kill know about. His partner is an eccentric senior agent whose been with the agency for a very long time, Roy Pulsipher(Agent K). Their boss is a no-nonsense person with a very dry sense of humor named Proctor.(Zed) To keep their anonymity in the field, they have a method of making people believe they aren't who they really are by appearing to be different people.(MIB uses neuralizers) And while the 2 partners are dramatically different, there's some comedy between them and together they help stop the bad guys from destroying the world(MIB 1, MIB 2, MIB 3)
Etc etc... There's a lot of parallels.

Well going by what i've read of M.I.B. the comic it too featured paranormal related stuff along with the Aliens..which the M.I.B. movies used
maybe the creator of R.I.P.D. ripped off alot of the idea's.

Parallels and similarities don't equal the exact same thing. I know Reynolds died and Smith didn't, as the first part of the first commercial is Reynolds getting plugged with an AK round and getting yanked into the sky. MIB is about aliens primarily, while RIPD is about the paranormal with spirits and the like. But as I pointed out, the similarities are definitely there, and we'll probably see more once the movie comes out.

Well aside from all those things, they're completely different... haha 😆
Hot damn, this has gotten pretty dreadful reviews... 11% so far. Not that I would have expected good reviews, and it could still be entertaining, but still... 11% is really bad, even for this kind of movie's standards. All of the Men in Black movies had much better ratings.

I wasnt using the comparison as a bad thing. The only difference i see between the two is that theyre killing dead people in RIPD rather than aliens.
