Holy shit! Ghost Rider looks bloody awful

[blakjeezis]

<p><a href="http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/ghostrider/" target="_blank">Seriously. Like fucking laughable. Like horrific.</a></p><p>Holy shit, I'm so excited. &nbsp;</p><a href="http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/ghostrider/" target="_blank"></a>

[FUNKMAN]

in work so i can't watch the trailer(no quiktime) but when you enter the site that pic of cage and the half flaming face is pretty damn cool!

[dereckfishboy]

<p>I have to admit, after what I've seen in the past few years, I was really expecting more of the special effects. I've got to say, it doesn't look promising. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&lt;sigh&gt;&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>First they butcher the Punisher, now Ghost Rider. Why must Hollywood destroy the vigilante heroes of my childhood?!?!</p><p>Why is it impossible to take something from one medium and move it to another without fucking it up.....&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

I thought this was about Gina Ryder. <img border="0" src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/down.gif" /><br />

I'll bet they had a huge budget.&nbsp; Shouldn't more money have gone into getting Nic Cage a better hairpiece?

[Don Stugots]

i think it looks awful. hands down worse comic book movie. yuck.

[boobieman]

<p>Holy Crap...Ghost rider looks great. I am looking forward more to that movie then any other comic book movie. Spiderman 3 looks like they are going to try and dump as many super villians as they can. Fantastic 4 was horrible and the 2nd one sounds like shit. </p><p>Looking forward to 2nd Punisher movie but they will never do it right.</p><p>Ghost rider looks great.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Later</p>

[Sheeplovr]

<p>I know nothing about ghost rider but i saw this last night and thought it was cool looking </p><p>not a good thing not a bad thing but a watchable fun time flick</p><p>much
like daredevil wich this ghost rider is direted and co written by the
Daredevil guy the other guy is David Goyer he did batman begins and
blade so I belive they know what there dooing </p><p>but really all superhero movies should jsut be animated with comic book writers writing it <br />

<p>Ehhhhhh.</p>

<p>This reinforces my strong belief that Nic Cage sucks.&nbsp; Never fails.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This movie just has an amateur look to it.&nbsp; The same look that PUNISHER, ELEKTRA, and CATWOMAN had.&nbsp; WTF?&nbsp; </p><p>And <em>still</em> no Silver Surfer movie??!&nbsp; Cripes.</p>

This is going to be a Superhero movie where the hero's mask (flaming skull) is always coming off.

[JustJon]

But will this be better than the Dolph Lungren Punisher?&nbsp; The Captain America movie?&nbsp; Catwoman?&nbsp; The Roger Corman Fantastic Four?<br />

<p>as a big fan of the comics i have to nitpick. as ghost rider they are using the danny ketch version of ghost rider for johnny blaze instead of the zarathos form of ghost rider johnny blaze actually had. it will be bad but i will be waiting in line to see it. </p><p>rallyb</p>

<p>what, they couldnt get Fezzie to do this?&nbsp; Half... flaming... ok carcrash....</p>

[phixion]

<p>the last comic i have (and this over ten years ago admittedly) johnny blaze and ketch turned out to be brothers they&nbsp;really didnt get into any kind of explanation, and that zarathos possessed blaze's body but it was something different with ketch. and they were not exactly alike ketch's ghost form had chinker eye sockets&nbsp;while blazes ghost form had big round ones. and blazes gorm had didnt have that badass chain ketch had.</p>

[Furtherman]

Do you think there will&nbsp;be a scene when Nic Cage starts a monolouge softly only to FREAK OUT at the end?

[Reephdweller]

It may not have the best effects, but I sure want to see it.
