I agree. The problem for me was that even as a popcorn movie it was fairly lame. It didn't have one good fight. Ghost Rider pretty much punk'd everyone in about a minute. I mean, come on, when you're adapting a character that's known for his visual badassery, at least give us a good fight scene!
Well Ive been reading this thread from the beginning and dont remember anybody addressing that. Best I can figure the movie has generally been condemned before it even began filming and expectations are so low that I suppose we are lucky to be allowed a thread.
Well I just got my statement from Sony. The effect budget was cut so we can expect to see Cage with Skull makeup and a bunch of grill lighters behind his head for flames.
That about sums up my expectations at this point.

You won't be able to tell there are grill lighters behind his head because Neveldine and Taylor got it covered: the camera will shake violently, zoom into people's pores, dirt will fly into the camera, color schemes will change rapidly, and maybe we might even see some boobies in the unrated cut.
