Depends on your definition of good. SoV didn't try to be a superhero film like the first one did, it tried to be wacky and insane. For the most part they did a good job on that level.
That kind of defeats the purpose of a Ghost Rider movie doesn't it?
The whole film felt like a 30min Teaser film for what was to come in Underworld 4. But it was just Underworld 4 instead.
I loved how they had an expanded mythology in the Underworld series, and yes Beckinsale looks great in leather -- I liked the first and the prequel, but the rest seemed like they went further down in terms of quality. It's a good universe they just don't execute it well enough. Better than
Blade though.
I love how the Underworld movies look, but the acting and dialogue makes me want to drown a kitten.
Or a werewolf. I went in expecting some sort of modern-day mythology surrounding a Moon-Goddess, I think the writers unconsciously connected with Persephone/Hecate/Demeter seeing as how Beckinsale's character goes from dead-girl to vengeful dead-girl to mommy in a bizarre reinactment of a moon-deity as a vampire. It... had potential, but it seemed like they just did it all unconsciously without thinking too much lol
I
hope it was different for Ellen Ripley.
I think we can all agree that Super Mario Bros is best movie.
Funny I just watched that with a couple of friends a few weeks back after finishing up

Been meaning to watch Karloff's
Mummy and the original
Frankenstein films for a long time --- listening to the 1936 radio-series on
The Shadow and honestly, it really had a quality that's unlike anything we got today!
Regarding the Alec Baldwin movie -- does that remind you of
Batman Begins in any way? Poppy-fields, Oriental cult-leaders espousing vigilantism with the word "shadow," a moniker that goes with invisibility... I dunno, it seemed so much like a
Ra's Al Ghul movie to me seeing as how Batman was originally inspired by the character.
