Ghost Rider: Movie Reviews

[Mr. Socko]

That is just one study, there are many more.....he asked if there was scientific proof....I provided some.

I was just joking Sir Lee


Btw, you were excellent in Lord of the Rings

 

[C. Lee]

That's why you are in Arkham.

 

[Mr. Socko]

How was it working with George Lucas

 

[C. Lee]

He feeds the help pretty good.

 

[DACMAN]

Nope.....I'm saying that people who spend their lives acting negatively all the time will have a shorter lifespan than the people who are predominately positive.

Yeah I know. It was a joke and stuff.

 

[ゴジラ]

I like the movie.It entertained me,and the one liners will never stop being funny.

 

[Nathan]

There were funny one liners?

 

[crazy sock]

[ゴジラ]

Exactly,It was like Suburban Commando but no Hogan.

 

[crazy sock]

ahaha. suburban commando.

MY REVIEW

Let me start by saying that Daredevil was pretty much a pile of dung so I didn't expect much from GhostRider but I did expect it too be better than DD because honestly it couldn't get much worse...right? WRONG!

Ghostrider starts off lame enough but not too bad...kinda like DD...actually it starts off almost exactly like DD. After Johnny grows up the movie just turns into a peice of trash. They replaced the hot guy with Nic Cage who is playing a bored version of himself and then Wes Bently shows up and gives one of the worse performaces ever, it was so bad that my sister and I laughed everytime he came on screen. Eva Mendes shows up to give Wes a run for his money but she can't quite give as awful a performance as he does...sucks to be her, huh?

Like DD this movie suffers from over designed sets and awful confusing camera work that once and for shows me that MSJ is atleast the second worse director working today.

The costumes are awful and silly looking, way over the top. The dialogue is terrible and the special effects are some of the worse seen in a big budget movie. I hated or disliked just about everything in this movie... it was so bad and uninteresting that I just kept wondering how that hot young guy at the first part grew up to look like Nic Cage. I might have been easier on the film if they had given me some eye candy through out and had actually fetured some actual ACTION! But no we get two second fight scenes from a poorly acted poorly rendered CGI skull. Kewl dude!

This would be the worse comicbook movie ever if Spawn didn't exist.

3/10. The movie atleast made me laugh.

No one has the right to say this without at least seeing the Director's Cut of Daredevil.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

The director's cut helps the movie: slows the pace down, gives us more Matt time, makes the flick a bit smarter, but it still suffers from a lot of the flaws that plagued the theatrical cut.

People treat it like the second coming but I think that people "overrate" it if you will because the improvements stand out in such strong contrast against the crap that we had before. I think the DC merely elevates the movie from a sub-adequate flick to a decent movie.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

There were funny one liners?

I think the movie had its good comedic moments. That is pretty much the only thing great I can say about the script though.

 

[Symbiote Hulk]

I rented it yesterday. The movie was great. Not, awesome or excellent. Just great. The fight scenes could've been a bit longer. Each time that he killed one of those phantoms the fight only lasted around 30 seconds. The actors were good. I'm looking forward to seeing them in a sequel

 

[CFlash]

Watched it on DVD the other day. Nothing wrong with the plot. Nothing truly wrong with the acting or even the dialog. Everything wrong with the direction and cookie cutter filmmaking. It's not scary, it's not intriguing, it's not even really great to look at. Unless you enjoy turning off your brain for an hour and just watch images on the screen, this movie is horribly made.

 

[SFII]

this movie really sucked. i thought it would be entertaining, but it was so boring!
the plot was lame. and the special fx were not that great either.
and even the acting sucked. i couldn't even understand most of the **** the old graveyard guy was saying. he was just mumbling so much.

terrible movie. big thumbs down.

this movie can go on the **** shelf with other Marvel letdowns such as DareDevil, and Fantastic Four 1.

Yeah that DVD really suprised me. I thought it may be a little better but I was just shocked on how improved it was. Now it's one of my favorite Marvel movies.

 

[redmarvel]

I'm reading the September issue of Fantasy&ScienceFiction magazine, they have an interesting bit about recent Nicholas Cage movies:

The most abysmal of Cage's performances is surely Captain Corelli's Mandolin, when he trotted out that unforgettable Italian accent; but he's on quite a roll quality-wise with his last few pictures. First there was The Wicker Man, a film that will go down as a classic of unintentional humor [edit] And then there was the jaw-droppingly horrid Ghost Rider. When that icon of the sinister and the macabre, Peter Fonda, plays the Prince of Darkness... Well, you've been given a strong hint that the movie is in trouble. Cage does an Elvis impression for half his screen time and wears a flaming skull for the other half. The skull is by far the better actor.

I never expect much when I see that Nic Cage is in the movie... so I guess I'll be renting this one, not buying it.

^Dude see it for yourself before making a judgement on it. I'll admit, 95% percent of the time i agree with critics ratings of movies, but GR is in the 5% percent of the time i dont, i thoroughly enjoyed it, its nothing spectacular, but a good movie IMO.

 

[LadyVader]

Still like it better than Fantastic Four Rise of the Silver Surfer, though Heaven knows why.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I think GR is better than both FF movies personally.

Usually I respect people's opinions, but I think this guy slightly missed the point of casting Peter Fonda. Who better to play the Devil in a movie about a demon biker? And by the sound of it, he just plain doesn't like Cage.

DUDETTE!!! And I will see it for myself... but I'm not sure it it'll make the "must own" category.

Exactly, the main reason MSJ cast Fonda was because of his part in Easy Rider.

I apologise, Dudette, just watch it for yourself. You may enjoy it.

 

[Midnyte_Sun]

Fonda was a great choice.
