ghost rider movie of the year!
polycounter lvl 18
I just got back from seeing ghost rider. If you are you going see just one movie this year ghost rider should be it! Because if you only watch one movie a year you deserve to have to sit through that shit.
First off i went into this movie knowing it was bad, very bad.
WORST WRITING EVER! It makes sense because its written by the fucking director! It was hard to tell where the line was were it the the bad writing that made the scene bad or if it was the bad directing.
The CG wasn't bad, they just forgot a few of his vertebra under his skull. Well thats about the best excuse i can think of for him having no neck when hes the rider.
The thing i really didn't get nor expect was why they gave ghost rider a different voice. They didn't do that to the caretakers voice when he was all hot and bothered.
Things i did love was that it gave a face to the war between emo/goth kids and hicks/rednecks. Come on all of the riders friend sounded like huge fucking red necks, and blackheart's crew were all emo/goth looking guys. Other than the rasta man, what the fuck was that all about? Speaking of which who the fuck were they supposed to be, because they were not any of the marvel characters.
All and all it was a very bad movie, but by the end it was so bad that it became funny because it was so bad. I mean come on nick cage acted like it was his first big role/ first role and pretty much the same can be said for everyone in the movie.
I'm 99% sure this is the last ghost rider movie, but hey if they got a good director for a new one and got Garth Ennis to write it id go see it.

TGZ, do you like self inflicted torture? Are you into BDSM?

Is this movie worth renting if there's nothing else to watch?
All he ever says are lines like "punish!" and "guilty!" as the rider he has no lines, just words he can say one at a time.
Yes this movie is worth seeing it really is bad enough that you will not feel guilty watching an making fun of every other second of the movie. In other words its a get really drunk with friends and watch movie. In that way it will fully entertain you.
Most of my friends said Ghost Rider was bad, and none of them are in the cg industry. But they did say it'd be fun to watch drunk as well, so there's still that.
Seriously though. I got tickets for 300, opening night. Sorry, but I can't get over 300...
Edit: Sal, there have been some fun (sober) comic movies such as Spiderman, X-Men, and Sin City (and now 300). It's jus that they're so easy to fuck up because the producers see it as easy cash, what with the existing audience of the comic fans. Same for books.
We know as artists that you always want to something with your work that you cant with your medium, so for comic artists and writers it would be a great freedom for them.
The only people who could give an honest answer are viewers who have never heard of ghost rider.
I know it's akin to insulting someone's child, but my opinion is that I would probably like the movie because I always thought it was a crappy comic!
Still, it will be on HBO before I see it.
I like ghost rider as a character, and as hes depicted in the garth ennis short run of comics.
