Ghost Rider - Extended Cut [DVD] [2007]

Rating: - Another comic hero film
Bought for my daughter who absolutely loves it. A predictable but enjoyable 'hero' romp, with some good one-liners - look out for the truck-crash scene.

Rating: - Guilty pleasure
Approach this movie with an open mind and I hope you will be as hugely entertained as I certainly was, and continue to be, every time I view it.
It's just so gosh darn heck good fun!

So sue me.

Rating: - Don't do it!!!
It amazes me that a talented actor such as Nicholas Cage can go from making very good films to something as absolutely awful as this. By giving it 2 stars I feel I was actually very generous, definitely don't buy it, I wouldn't even rent it - wait until it comes on late night tv, that way you won't feel guilty when you fall asleep part way through.

Rating: - Poor, Poor, Poor.
Ghost Rider was 'THE' American comic I always bought (and wished I'd kept them). This is nothing like the comics apart from he 'changes' to the Ghost rider and back. What I remember is the fight to remain Human, hating becoming the demon and the demon, Zarathos, hating becoming Johnny Blaze. Zarathos having his own personality, two separate beings locked in one body always looking for control. Hope they don't do another one, shame.
I would like to see them make 'Luke Cage & Iron Fist', if done well, could be made it to a TV series.

Rating: - good premise, very poorly executed
First off, Superhero and comic book movies are generally very good( X-men,Batman,Spiderman 1 and 2). Secondly, Nicolas Cage tends to be very good (The Rock, Leaving Las Vegas, Bringing out the dead,Face/off). So this should be excellent, right? WRONG!
The concept is a good one, but the film manages to be flat and uninvolving, with a leading man about 10 years too old for the role and desperatley trying to ignore it. Even his appearance is cringeworthy. The romance is laughable at best and the action scenes are about as exciting as Teletubbies.
You know a film is in trouble when the review quotes on the box mention the characters and special effects, which are the film's only good points.
In short, I am very happy with my new coaster/ frisbee.
