Just saw Ghost Rider in theaters...

[KarlOmega1]

...And it was AWESOME! Very stunning! I loved it...

[Damaris]

It was cheesy, and I thought the police were better villans than the demons- but I really enjoyed it as well.

[Paladin Sheppard]

Its a comic book to movie deal of course its gonna be cheesy!  That said enjoyable film! 

[Tiny crested flint]

true it was cheesy but  any movie + Nicholas Cage = good

[Caswin]

Worst.  Fights.  Ever.

Give me five minutes with the script.  I would have given you better (re: actual) fights, and in turn elementals who actually put up more of a struggle than a random punk with a switchblade.

That said, it had its moments.  Sam Elliott can save darn near anything.

All movies based on comics have at least a smidge of delightful cheesiness.

It's just the right amount to make it yummily cheesy and not dangerously cheesy.

[Alondro]

Meh, I tend to avoid any film that takes what was a great comic book and applies the boring, overplayed Hollow-wood formula to it.  I have better ways to spend my $9.  Maybe if tickets were cheap as heck, I'd waste a buck or two on films like this, just for fun.  But $9?  For a cinema seat?  Hell no.

See Nicholas Cage. See Nicholas Cage point. Point, Nicholas Cage, point. REPEAT FOR 114 MINUTES!
If you can't tell, I was a little let down by ghostrider. He went through villains rather quickly, really, and there were parts where it was yet cheesier than what they usually do to comic-to-movie translations. At least it wasn't another Hulk.

an aditional half hour of more unrealistic acting. watch Nicholas cage make an ass out of himself! Watch Nicholas cage digging up a grave in a graveyard within  unrealistic ruins. Watch Nicholas Cage running toward  a crypt with his ghost rider like powers immidately after prying the lid off of a nailed coffin with his bare hands. watch Nicholas cage, without skipping a breath, climbing down a fortified immitation colonial starcase and stare in amazement as he mystically fights off the effects of hypothermia, allergies and more.

Damn, Nicholas Cage has been typecast allready. I'm sure of one thing the fight scenes are at their worst are far better than the ones in westside story.

Well, tell me this - did they actually fight in West Side Story?

If so, they're better than Ghost Rider's.

[Gryphon]

There was only one good scene in that entire movie. That scene when we go into the showdown and the music actually syncs up with the actions of the character. At that one moment it could have been so badass. But no. They stop it when it could have gotten good. So. No.

Everything else in the movie... Was horrible.
The name of the main bad guy? Horrible.
The battles WITH the bad guys? Equally horrible. Come on. If I wanted fiery whips of destruction I'd play God of War. At least THAT makes it look cool.
Jelly Beans? Jelly beans.
What is up with the monkey obsession?

All in all. If you have to watch a superhero comic brought to real life wait for Spiderman 3. Disappointing.

[Reese Tora]

Oh, hey, kvetching about a movie.

I'd join, but nothing I can say about the acting hasn't already beed said.

The effecrts were nice, but one might expect the actors to act in a convincing manner. (I sudder to think what the other takes were like for some of the sceens, if they used only the best for the final cut.)

Still, over all, I enjoyed watching the movie, and it definently had it's moments... still it wasn't worth the nine buck I foolishly wasted on concessions. (On top of the $9 matinee ticket price, which was paid for me, so I don't consider that wasted on my part.)

I thought the filing taxes commercial with the ghost rider was hilarious.

Ghost rider does taxes.
