Doubting the Ghost Rider Movie

[Vartha]

I have no problems with it either. They have alittle under a year to get it right, it's not like they're rushing it Gamma. Have more faith.

 

[totalpackage59]

No problems here either, I like what I see, can't wait. Roll on 2006

 

[Uncanny Orb]

What they said.

 

[Mr Nick]

Don't think of it as a trailer; it was footage quickly (but competently) cobbled together for Comic Con. If memory serves, I don't think MSJ was too thrilled by it either. There's no action, no special effects and no Ghost Rider. No-one can judge the movie by that.

 

[Abe]

I can, but there'd be no point.
I will admit that the recent poster of GR on the bike didn't do too much for me, to be quite honest. From everything else I've seen so far though, well, colour me rapt.
To reiterate what someone wrote above also, roll on 2006.

 

[blades_shades]

It's not the trailer it's raw footage before post production or any effects. The breif glimpse of ghost rider was just a cheap insert to give you a feel for the real trailer when it comes out. It'll be replaced.

 

[InVictus]

You know, two days ago i rewatched DareDevil director's cut to study MSJ style, trying to figure GR in some of the scenes, and i really, really enjoyed it. The fight scene in the pub is probably one of the greatest superhero/vigilante fight scene. Probably the best i saw by now. Devil moves very well in it. Elektra has some problems, but DD rocks.
So even with the lack of recent news my faith in the movie just reached new levels

 

[FlameHead]

Sweet. That's great to hear. I assume it was the Directors Cut that you seen...

Man, I gotta say, I love the support that Ghost Rider is getting. The people who say negative things are few and far between... and that's awesome with me.

Ughhhh I liked the style of the DD film but Affleck was NOT believable as an action star and the fight scenes IMO were awful. Afflecks chubby body in close ups cut to stunt doubles in flickering light and wooden fighting. Just awful. Blade 1 & 2 had some of the best fight scenes I've ever seen on film and it was all Snipes doing the work for the most part. To each his own.

 

[Weadazoid]

I had such high hopes when I saw the motorcycle and then the first poster pic. But then the trailer came out and it was awful! Anyone have the same experience?

was it even in the comic con stuff

A bike was in there but it was just a chopper or at least that is what I thought


That thing is going to require some serious CGI to make it look the way I want it too so I refuse to pass judgement until a rel cut is released, not the comic con shots

and just so we are clear

that is not the hel cycle that is just an ordinary bike

 

[Gamma Ray]

Of course I'll give it a chance! I hope I love it!

 

[FlameHead]

I'm sure I'll love it.

and just so we are clear

Right. That's "Grace"...

 

[Weadazoid]

thats just the thing Flame Head I don't think the comic con shots showed the Hell cycle I thought they just falshed a very early prestage rendering of the flaming scull, unless I missed something it has been a while since I saw the shots, and they were not high quality shots either

 

[FlameHead]

There was some flashes of the Hellcycle in the footage but that's it.

 

[citizenpain]

you shouldn't think of it as a trailer because it's NOT a trailer. we've been told on numerous occasions that there is going to be a ton of post-production on this movie and it's going to take a very long time. so until all that is done, lets please reserve our judgement for the official trailer.

Amen. People bashing the film for scenes like the first Elektra/Matt Murdock fight usually overlook this great action scene !

My only complaints so far would be that some sets just looked like, well, sets and I'm not convinced with the look of Wes Bentley, hopefully we'll see Blackheart like he is in the comics.

 

[Nivek]

I'm pretty sure that at least 80% of the comic con footage will be the trailer, especially given that the clip on the news shows show the same footage.

nooooooooo. the comic com footage wasn't finished though... do you even know what post production is? the trailer is going to be completely different from the comic con footage.

 

[FlameHead]

Well, it probably wont be completly different. It'll just be finished. I'm sure they'll use that as a template for the actual trailer... and I think that's what Nivek mean't.

 

[Carter]

I think it could go either way.

 

[Radford]

its looks alright so far.

the true test will be when we see the finished CGI.

 

[BIGGUN]

I really dug what i saw...only problems i have are Eva Mendez's delivery of her lines and that goth chick.

 

[BigMac]

First of Eva Medez can deliver what ever she wants.

Second, I agree, the trailer looked great. We know that the CGI is going to change. I don't even take that into consideration. What I liked was the dry humor and western feel that the movie had. This should be a fun 2 hours.

 

[The Infernal]

I really dug what i saw...only problems i have are Eva Mendez's delivery of her lines and that goth chick.

I have to say that I was worried when I read that she was going to have her as a strong independant woman (nothing wrong with that ladies ) and 'not another damsell in distress' and I began to think 'not another tough independant woman'. I mean don't get me wrong strong is good but changing the character for the sake that you don't want to portray someone who is perhaps more vulnerable is getting annoying now.

Sure five years ago I thought it was great that some female characters be update nowadays but it's too much of a fad now to have a strong female lead (and often with a chip on their shoulder because either they broke up in the past and/or she doesn't appreciate his attitude). Surely there is room for just one or two damsells these days that can give a good acting performance?

 

[FlameHead]

I dont' necessaryily agree with her views on Roxanne anyway... especially when you consider how she turned out to be in the 90's. She was a strong. She didn't whine. She even tried gave up her kids to the Hidden in one series. What a beotch... though I can't remember how that turned out.

I do have to agree that her line delivery wasn't the strongest but I assume they'll fix that in post.
