Rate and Discuss the Transformation!

That first transformation is amazing, if they keep a similar tone throughout the rest of the movie, then we are for one HELL OF A RIDE (pun intended) guys and gals.

The irony of this whole transformation sequence is that I vividly remember having a dream like this too.

This is exactly how it happened only without the creepy laugh. And yes, I did turn into the Ghost Rider, and in the dream I took out an abusive husband and some gang members. Cool dream eh?



The special effects of this scene looks so realistic and downright evil too.

Thats what happens when you eat to many Rice Crispy treats! Snap Crackle Pop!

Thank you MSJ. Simply than you.

 

[FlameHead]

how do you set these as avatars? can they be used for other sites like comicbookresources?

Welcome to the hype Galvatronixlt... and more importantly to the best section of it (here). Unfortunatly, you will not be able to have an Avvy here until you reach 300 posts. When you do, the options to set your avatar are in your control panel.

Anyway, I hope you return for chattin' soon!

 

[Redvelvetdragon]

Well, I ranked as a ten. It's pretty disturbing but very realistic. I'm glad its not corny!

 

[FlameHead]

You and me both. The transformation is the one main thing I was worried about for the entire time I've been following this movie and now, I'm worried about nothing.

I liked the transformation footage; it really sells the idea of a man's head being burned from within.

As for the rather apparent "Christian-bashing", please allow me one clarifying statement. There is a huge difference between a true believer, and a religious extremist or "fundamentalist". In my experience, many so-called "Fundamentalist Christians" tend to follow the letter of God's law, but they do it rather from fear than love. Being a believer doesn't mean you're automatically perfect, and it doesn't give you the right to bash others, either. God grants grace through Christ and those who accept His sacrifice, and that's all I'll say about that here.

Back to the topic at hand, I'm actually looking forward to the film. Met MSJ at the Wizard Con 2 days ago, and he was very nice. He signed my poster and snapped a fewpics...cool dude.

 

[Advanced Dark]

Anyone have larger versions of those Avatars???

 

[theoneandonly]

the sick bastards laughing all the way through the burning

 

[The Fallen One]

10 all the way! It looks awsome. I can't wait to see it. ~*

 

[Canadian Rider]

So is the transformation we see in the clip the first time he changes or does it get easier? I noticed that there are other transformations that go faster in other clips?

Love this - Nic is Johhny B!

 

[redlion2]

This is the first time I've actually seen the transformation and I've got to say this is verrry cool. I give it a 10.

 

[Crimson_L]

10- Looks fun.

 

[Midnyte_Sun]

If u listen closely you can hear the sound of fried eggs or bacon.

 

[Mr Nick]

Yeah, it's super-sick! I love the way the skin on his temple and hand explodes.

I got this in a google alert today:

Director Mark Steven Johnson told Sci Fi Wire that Nicolas Cage had a great idea on the set one day. He said: "Nic convinced me that, although Johnny may be in pain, the Ghost Rider is actually happy about the transformation, and it probably feels really good for him to be unleashed after all this time. And so the screaming with horrible pain that I imagined turned into this maniacal laughter. That made it so much better. We know that the transformation scene is the most important scene in the whole movie, so it was important that we get it right."

It's good to know that they knew the transformation scene's importance!

 

[BrollySupersj]

I know that every transformation scene won't be like that one. But I wonder it we'll get at least two with the burning, sizzling, screaming, fire, and skin popping.

 

[3 Dev Adam]

Erm, how can we rate something we didn't even saw?
