Ghost Rider 2 In The Works - Part 2

[BigThor]

^^^ I sure hope it turns out to be a fun action flick with decent dialogue and decent acting.

I don't think decent acting is really possible. Aside from Idris Elba, the acting will probably end up just a little better than previous film. Even good Marvel produced movies like Thor have had some dodgy acting here and there (Love that film but Portman was simply bad in it).

 

[Airwings]

First time they used the same actor in a reboot. I don't think it's a reboot, more of a sequel

 

[DarkSovereignty]

seeing as how they're redoing the origin with THIS film, I'd say it's a reboot.

But Hemsworth, Hopkins, Hiddleston, and Idris Elba were phenomenal so that more than makes up for one person's performance (she did pretty good imo).

Agreed on part of Hiddleston, Hemsworth and Idris Elba. My fave character from the film was actual Elba's Heimdal. They were phenomenal indeed. And then there is Hiddleston. The man should get at least one Oscar nomination for his work. Best Marvel Villian I've seen in a Marvel Produced movie (First Class doesn't count here). Hopkins was kinda hammy in parts and Portman was simply bad IMO. I got the same impression from her work that I did from Attack of the Clones (Maybe a little better). It could have been due to Hemsworth's performance which really surprised me. He felt kinda bad in trailers but all of his actions were near perfect in the context of the movie.

GR SoV doesn't have Kenneth Branagh to guide its actors so, I'm not too optimistic.

 

[BigThor]

Yeah I see what you mean, that's understandable.

 

[Airwings]

They need to lay ground for a cross-over in this film.

The only crossover could be with Spider-Man I don't think Sony will ever let that happen (Unless they lose the rights to GR and Marvel gets to add him to its current movie universe).

 

[Airwings]

And why won't Sony ever let that happen? They have the rights to both these characters? Can't they do whatever they want with them? Please, enlighten me!

I don't think a Spidey / GR crossover would make sense for Sony. Also, SM is their flagship superhero series that now is having a teenage reboot and makes 100s of million dollars while GR is just a superhero whose films get made just to keep the screens rights from returning to Marvel Studios.

 

[BigThor]

New footage of Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance will be shown at this year's Scream Awards.

RED Rider: If there's money to be made, Sony won't think twice about pairing these heroes. That's how Hollywood works.
Avengers will give the studios something new to do. It will be a trend for some years, with different super teams, and so on.

Fair point. Hopefully if something like that happens, it would mean GR getting more attention and not not Spidey getting worse treatment.

Yeah he made a good point, hopefully it comes true because I'd like to see a Ghost Rider/Spider-Man team up.

 

[Midnyte_Sun]

There was supposed to be new footage of GR 2 at NYCC. Where is it?

CORRECTION: It's next week, nevermind.

Marvel has had 3 superb films / hits (IM1, Thor and CA) and 2 misses (IM2 and IH). Hopefully Avengers is like Thor and not IM2 / IH. I really really wish ends up a super awesome movie and one that shatters some sales records. If that happens, other studios will indeed try different things as Airwings suggested. Venom vs GR or bust!

 

[Midnyte_Sun]

Since when was IM 2's 623+ million dollars considered a miss?

 

[Savage]

I think he means critically and even then I think he means personally cause those are two of my favorite Marvel movies and they both did well at the box office.

EDIT: In fact, looking at the numbers, Iron Man 2 made the most so...wwwhat?

 

[BigThor]

It's not like Iron Man 2 & TIH were critically panned or anything, they were actually pretty well recieved.

Oh, and at one point I could have gone, too.

 

[The Morningstar]

People act like IM2 and TIH were trashed. They weren't.

 

[BigThor]

^^^ I made the same point earlier, I just worded it differently.

 

[hammerhedd11]

Looks like this movie won't be as hardcore as we thought...

I really hope they didn't screw with the original cut of the movie.

 

[BigThor]

Just because a movie is PG-13 doesn't mean it can't be hardcore, besides no one in here was really expecting it to be Rated-R (although some were "hoping").
