Ghost Rider?

[Nifft]

AFIC, I spent $8.50 to watch a preview of Grindhouse, and a buck for GR. That's the only way to reconcile the expense.

Huh. I'll give this one a miss. Thanks! -- N

I went to see it last night (caught a matinee showing, so it was cheap). My expectations were relatively low, but I just couldn't resist.

I enjoyed it. Sure it wasn't the world's greatest movie, but it wasn't all that bad - I was pleasantly surprised. There are several plot points people can disect if they want and criticize, but I can say that of just about any movie out there. I had a good time.

Saw it today. My wife, 3 kids, and I loved it. Much better than the comic, with a much beter origin than the comic. One of the best "Marvel Movies" yet.

Were talking about going to go see it again.

I saw GR last night, and I say without exaggeration that it the worst movie I have seen in years.

The acting, plot and dialogue were just plain awful. Nicholas Cage makes absolutely no effort at all to effectively portray his character. The story is just plain stupid, and the dialogue sounds like it was written by an 8 year old.

Even allowing for the fact it is a comic book adaptation, this one stinks on ice. I used to be quite a fan of the GR comics, too...

This is the proverbial film that should be shown at filmmakers college as an example of how not to make a movie.

I went to see this movie with two friends as one of them had passes. From the commercials, I expected it to be bad. Yet, I had no idea just how bad it would be. The script was poorly written. The dialogue was painful to listen to. The fight scenes against the elemental demons were not very dramatic and felt rushed. And, then there was Cage himself- his acting was atrocious. Neither Eva Mendez's looks, Sam Elliot's likeable presence could save this piece of drek.
It is the worst movie I have seen in at least a decade. I cannot compare this movie to Fantastic 4 or the Hulk as I have not seen either, but as far as movies based on comics, it worse than Blade 1 and Blade II both of which I disliked. However, it was probably better than the Batman movie with Arnold if memory serves.

5. Cowboy Ghost Rider wastes his last transformation to gallop across the desert just because it'd look kewl d00d!

While I enjoyed the movie, I chuckled at the stupidity of that part.

Carter Slade: "Alright, let's go get Blackheart. I can't actually help you any, but I can keep you company during the ride."

Johnny Blaze: "Oookay!?"

Saw the movie today (A little late, I know), I felt the movie was good. I just don't agree with all the criticisms I've seen so far. I mean, all I wanted was Johnny Blaze, the Ghost Rider, the Devil, some GR/Demon fights, and a story I could follow. I got all of that, who cares if it's not Casablanca?

Not Casablanca? It's barely Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!
