Topic: Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2012)

Crap on a stick...masquerading as shish-kebab. Grade A crap. And after seeing the puerile trash masquerading  was how I felt about theoriginal Ghost Rider (2007). Spider-Man 3 falls into the same category...just like X-Men 3...and Blade 3. Ghost Rider was so bad..I was wishing for Elektra 2 and Daredevil 2. Ah well, at least there's no Eva Longoria.

I liked the actual Ghost Rider moments themselves (though Wes Bentley as Blackheart was hugely underwhelming).  It's all the crap in between I could have done without. lol

GR2 is looking better, though.  The directing partners behind it are more hardcore than that 'tard who also ruined Daredevil, Mark Steven Johnson.  They're already promising more horror and GR, and less Johnny Blaze.

I'll reserve final judgment until I've seen it, but I guess you could consider me moderately excited to see the new take on the character.

(though Wes Bentley as Blackheart was hugely underwhelming) very much so.

but liked the movie too.

Tri I am a big comic fan too but you will have to accept only on a rare occasion Hollywood does the source material justice. Even my favorite comic movie “The Crow” let me down a bit (he wasn’t supposed to have a weakness).
Bottom line don’t get your hopes up and you won’t be let down.

Speak of the devil (heh heh).  The first trailer has just been released and, yup, it looks pretty bad ass.

Re: Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2012)

I saw  a Ghost Rider/Steve Rogers format comic called "FEAR" and I've been meaning to pick it up. They're a combo I wouldn't picture teaming up together to take supernatural threats but it should be worth the read.

Re: Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2012)

GR2 is looking pretty good, but as was said, I'm not getting my hopes up to much. Ghost Rider has to be my second favorite comic character, and I hope they do him some cinematic justice.

Re: Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2012)

And it looks like Idris Elba is transitioning to superhero movie roles, from Thor to GR.

Re: Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2012)

He was in The Losers too, y'know. wink

Re: Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2012)

The Losers was awesome, Chris Evans kicked some ass in that one. Dude is in a ton of comic films.

Re: Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2012)

Evans was pretty much the only thing I liked about The Losers.  Well, him and Jason Patric.

Re: Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2012)

Just saw the Ghost Rider 2 trailer and all I could say was, "So that's what it looks like when Ghost Rider pees."
