Laughable?

[WalterKovacs]

My friends always tell me how bad this movie is and how lol-able it is. Are they right? ANd why do they keep going "I HAVE TO GET TO TEH CHURCH!!" ?

[ゴジラ]

I went into this movie thinking not too much.It did have Two of my favorite actors which was a plus.I enjoyed the whole thing..It's hilarious,bad acting,and Nick Cage.

Haha that had something to do with Blackheart being in the Church.It's like watching a USA movie.It's entertaining.

[webhead731]

The movie has it's moments of bad lines but not the whole thing. Most people I know liked it.

[Vartha]

Put it this way, if you liked the classic black and white monster films, you'll love Ghost rider.
Rent the movie, watch it in black and white, it's pretty cool.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I would never say the movie is laughable, i thoroughly enjoyed it.

[<(o_o)>]

Barton Blaze's death was laughable MSJ could have at least made it somewhat emotional. The tubby chick who is getting mugged wasn't funny & couldn't act when she was describing the attack & giving a description of Ghost Rider. Nic Cage as Johnny Blaze was just stupid when he was talking to Roxanne.

[YJ1]

Ghost Rider is laughable only because it didn't know what it wanted to be. This movie didn't work on any level. It's not a horror film, it's not an intelligent drama, it's not a Western, it's certainly not an action flick. No one knows what it was. They had a GREAT cast and excellent visuals on one cool looking character. More's the pity because its piecemeal plot and horribly dumb story just sinks it. What a waste.

That i TOTALLY agree with, they could have made it more intense also.

[TNC9852002]

Nah, the movie was far from this "laughable".

[elvis]

God, I just watched it today. It wasn't laughable...it was pitiful, horrible, ridiculous,silly, stupid,unwatchable, but not really laughable.

[Silent_Dave]

Exactly. I really liked the movie. I can't see how you guys could possibly call it laughable.

Shes actually a comedian. I saw her on Premium Blend on Comedy Central. And when she crosses her arms like she did it's like her "thing" she does. :whatever:

[Eternalzero]

Ghost Rider is to Ash Ketchum
Ghost Rider's chain is to Poke balls

Seriously, I thought I was watching a pokemon episode with all of the ghost "catching."

There weren't any fight scenes....

[Eggyman]

I enjoyed it -- it's teh ghost rider, whats not to like? It was just a good action flick with some nice visuials; don't exspect the earth and you won't be let down.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Exactly. I really liked the movie. I can't see how you guys could possibly call it laughable.

I like the movie, watched it 3 times now and enjoyed it every time.

[Silent_Dave]

:oright... no, really! What's not to like about the movie exept for the "YEE-HAW!!!" & that goth chick?

"I HAVE TO GET TO TEH CHURCH!!" ?

Sure they saw the movie? Because something tells me they're just being dumbasses and just judging it from the game. Ghost Rider says that line in the game.
:o

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

:oright... no, really! What's not to like about the movie exept for the "YEE-HAW!!!" & that goth chick?

I'd never say it was the best movie ever, but i do find it entertaining.

[Silent_Dave]

I'd never say it was the best movie ever, but i do find it entertaining.

that's what I meant. i kind of overreacted.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^Ha ha no problem

[Silent_Dave]

^:cool:

[Silent_Dave]

Ghost Rider says that line in the game.

He does?:huh:

[Arkady Rossovich]

The film was horrible.

[DarkMajin]

He does?:huh:

Yeah...it's when you go fight Scarecrow in the game.

[Silent_Dave]

Yeah...it's when you go fight Scarecrow in the game.
You were close, but what he really said was "I Have To Get To The Church".

[webhead731]

You're friends could've seen this highly unfair review and started making fun of it.

They use that line in this a couple times.

[Superman1314]

This was the first movie I've seen that made me sum it up in two words that I've never used for a movie before.."Pure Tripe"

[I SEE SPIDEY]

It might just be the worse comicbook movie ever. It was laughable and seriously hope Sony doesn't make a sequel to it. I hope somebody locks MSJ up so he can't make anymore movies.

[webhead731]

Holy crap no...

Worst comic book movie ever? Have you seen Catwoman? Batman and Robin? Do you know what the hell you're even talking about?

And Director's Cut of Daredevil was MSJ, and that was awesome. 1000x better than the original which wasn't that good.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^No way is GR the worst CB movie ever IMO, i could name 6 or 7 that i feel are definately worse.

[crazy sock]

yea, that YOU feel are def the worse. and i dont even consider catwoman. i mean, CMON! thats just complete garbage.

[Zombie_samurai]

agreed

[Dr. Manhatten]

My god, the movie sucked. Id recommend watching it when you're high on pot or hammered, either way. Sober is a no-go

[crazy sock]

i just saw a commercial on tv for the live-action Underdog movie. i must say from what ive seen that it looks like it was made waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than GR.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

yea, that YOU feel are def the worse. and i dont even consider catwoman. i mean, CMON! thats just complete garbage.

Isnt that what i said?

[Mr. Socko]

Underdog looks atrocious.

[Fried Gold]

My god, the movie sucked. Id recommend watching it when you're high on pot or hammered, either way. Sober is a no-goI watched Rise of the Silver last night... Ghost Rider is Citizen Kane in comparison.

[webhead731]

...HELL NO!

The teaser for the movie looked okay but the trailers and TV spots make me just not want to see it 100% sure. It's Disney too.
Disney+Superhero movies (and about everything else these days)=crap.

Don't say "They made Incredibles you dumbass!" because Pixar was involved in those. Seems when Pixar's involved they work wonders with movies. Except Cars, I heard that was bad. I don't know though. Didn't grab me.

But seriously Underdog looks like a cornball kiddy fest.

[Darth Rockwell]

I'm watching it right now and it doesn't seem as bad as people make it out to be. Why do people not like it? It's setting up who the Ghost Rider is so they can bring it the next episode.

[crazy sock]

hahaha WOW. are all of you kidding me. of course it looks like a cornball kiddy fest. ITS BASED ON A CARTOON MEANT FOR CHILDREN. derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. seriously guys, you guys take things way too serious. i highly doubt there gunnah be aiming the movie at anyone who isnt a lil kid. god. you know what was a cornball fest that really shouldnt have been, GR.

[dogwonder78]

My extended family, all dog lovers, is getting together to see Underdog. I expect to be entertained. I think the previews make it look a lot better than most of the other cartoon-to-live-action movies, and people are unfairly lumping them together.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I watched Rise of the Silver last night... Ghost Rider is Citizen Kane in comparison.

I agree, i enjoyed GR much more.

I'm watching it right now and it doesn't seem as bad as people make it out to be. Why do people not like it? It's setting up who the Ghost Rider is so they can bring it the next episode.

I personally dont think it is as bad as most people make out, and after watching it a few times on DVD i still find it enjoyable. The movie has some bad points, yeah, but it has a lot of good ones too IMO.

[Hunter Rider]

Laughable isn't the word that i would use,it was tonally confused,badly written,badly acted and didn't even have much spectacle IMO

[webhead731]

hahaha WOW. are all of you kidding me. of course it looks like a cornball kiddy fest. ITS BASED ON A CARTOON MEANT FOR CHILDREN. derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. seriously guys, you guys take things way too serious. i highly doubt there gunnah be aiming the movie at anyone who isnt a lil kid. god. you know what was a cornball fest that really shouldnt have been, GR.

They're making it for kids because they don't know what else to do. It's possible to make that movie so alot of ages will really enjoy it.

Look at Incredibles, kids could see that movie, they advertised it as a family film. I'm 15 and I enjoy the movie alot. The hidden adult jokes are for the older people.
Most likley, parents did not mind sitting through that one.

Underdog has no family attraction. They don't know how and all they do is advertise it as a kiddy film and they keep using the EXACT same jokes we've heard in other movies in the trailers. I'm tired of seeing that trailer too.

[crazy sock]

WHY DOES EVERY MOVIE HAVE TO BE MADE FOR EVERYONE!? underdog was a cartoon, MADE for CHILDREN. so id think that the movie based on the cartoon, whether its live-action or not, would also be aimed for children. god guys. you must get aggravated at a lot of movies then, cause im pretty sure not every movie made is meant to be marketed to everyone. whats wrong if a movie is meant mainly for kids? big friggin deal.

[webhead731]

Well I don't understand how you can think that looks "WAAAAY BETTER" than Ghost Rider.

I mean, come on. That movie looks bad. It's made for kids, how does it look better than Ghost Rider?

[crazy sock]

it looks like it was made WAAAAAAAAy better. i bet Underdog was made in everyway better than GR was.from its script, editing, acting, and directing.

[Midnyte_Sun]

Well I don't understand how you can think that looks "WAAAAY BETTER" than Ghost Rider.

I mean, come on. That movie looks bad. It's made for kids, how does it look better than Ghost Rider?

For the record, Ghost Rider was made for kids too.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^I wouldnt exacly say it was made for kids, teens maybe.

[webhead731]

PG-13?

If it were G or PG that'd be more kiddy. PG-13 USUALLY means that it's a GREAT idea to consider what you're taking your child to.
I would not take a little kid to Ghost Rider. Don't know where you got that idea.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I remember there were some kids in my first screening of GR, and half of them were crying because they were scared!

[Mr Nick]

:woot: Excellent!

[TwilightPro101]

Sums it up.

[webhead731]

Sadly, when I was looking foward to it, I was hoping it'd scare me. The villains looked creepy and the teaser was creepy too. I thought one of my favorite comic characters was going to be done right.

But it was light, not dark, and it was also kinda corny which was the dissapointing thing for me. It had some moments that were kinda creepy but not many. I think kids had cried during the teaser last year, and we had a couple kids cry opening night. That makes me happy to know it's not super kiddy in that area.:)

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

:woot: Excellent!

Yeah, i thought that too ha ha!

[Sun_Down]

So I finally watched this thing today. As the credits were rolling, my friend turned the DVD off and said, "Sorry, was anyone watching that?". I said, "No. I just wish you'd have done that an hour and a half ago".

The movie had some redeeming points, but overall it just made my head hurt.

[tdeverea]

i just watched it... i won't flame it 'cause that's not my style. however, i was thoroughly disappointed.:dry:

why couldn't they have just made it like Blade? we're talking about characters from Hell, right? why can't it be closer to horror than to a cartoon? i'm out.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^I dont see why everyone has such a problem with ther lack of violence, etc, IMO it didnt effect the movie at all.

[mcflytrap]

Put it this way, if you liked the classic black and white monster films, you'll love Ghost rider.
Rent the movie, watch it in black and white, it's pretty cool.

Or better yet, turn off the TV completely.

[Midnyte_Sun]

The studio believed it wouldn't sell. Gary Foster kept comparing this movie to Constantine, which in their eyes was a dismal failure for being too 'adult-themed.' They wanted the movie to appeal to a wide audience base so they got the guy from Grumpy Old men to direct it and write the story and screenplay.

My son is 12. Him, all of his friends at school and in the neighborhood loved it. I have not heard or heard of 1 kid under 14 who didn't like it. (please spare me the "yeah only dumb kids could like it" stuff). I'm just saying that I think the movie was a success in that regard and lets face it, if the kids don't get into it, GR aint gonna be around long. Also the GR toys are flying off the shelves in my area.

Yeah...no. Both are examples of typical comic book movies made by directors who aren't very creative just to cash in on the superhero craze...but...if nothing else, FF2 was entertaining at least, whereas GR was a boring piece of poo.

That is good to hear, at least GR found an audience with people, no matter what age they are. Its curious really, why i enjoy the movie so much is because it makes me feel like a kid again while watching it.

That I do agree with. The Fantastic Four movies seem to get worse and worse with each sequel. I was bored out of my mind in Fantastic Four 1 and 2. The films are interesting but the only thing that held my interest for the course of the two films was Jessica Alba and that was about it. The films are written seemingly rushed and the development is so bland.

Well Ghost Rider did have it's issues it compacted the mythos in its own unique way and yes, the fights were short but the core was there and it was an interesting film. Does it top my list of favorites? No, it's in the middle.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

That's refreshing to hear. The next generation of Flameheads!

This i COMPLETELY agree with, GR is better than both FF movies IMO, and in GR they got the essence of both JB and GR perfect IMO, especially from the early run. Honestly, people who think this is a bad adaptation need to read Essential GR Vol.1

[Mr Nick]

Yeah, glad it found an audience.

You just reminded me, I do need to pick that up. Maybe I'll like the movie a bit more after reading it.

:yay:

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^Oh you will, and you will be surprised how accurate it is, even down to little details. Of course plenty is missed out, but its a big frigging book, so MSJ got as much as he could into 2 hous IMO.

[jrd550]

I agree, it wasn't scary at all - not even for kids. BB was scary.

[Spider–Man]

God, I just watched it today. It wasn't laughable...it was pitiful, horrible, ridiculous,silly, stupid,unwatchable, but not really laughable.


ditto.

[Upset Spideyfan]

A movie I sincerely hope the MST3K crew gets around to riffing one day on their rifftrax site.

[Vile]

I think the only redeeming quality in it was that one Waiter Guy.

I mean, any waiter who shoots down Eva Mendes deserves his own spin-off film. It would probably be a hell of a lot more entertaining than Ghost Rider.

[TwilightPro101]

Yeah, glad it found an audience.

That's the way I felt after seeing the movie then re-reading the original books. Not that I'm complaining. I'm a fan of the Rider even the movie, even if it does have it's bad spots.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Yeah, i'm halfway through EGR Vol.1 at the moment, and MSJ captured the character and spirit of the comic in that era perfectly. Its also pretty damn faithful to the story/s in the comic.

If the movie is so faithful and so mediocre at the same time...then the real problem must be the crap source material not MSJ :cwink:

Don't mind me :woot:

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^Well your opinion of the source material may differ from other people's. I can see how some would find the early Blaze stories corny, they are definately a product of their time. BUT, they are still very good stories with some great characters in.

[Kabuki_Jo]

Well, at least it's better than SR.

Guess even bloodrayne was better than SR.
