Arrow Ghost Rider now showing...

Have you seen it and how was it?

The reviews for it aren't that great.

I'm anxious to know real people's opinions, I plan to see it when my friend comes to visit.

The budget was 120 million.

Just because it brought in a lot of money doesn't mean people liked it, it just means a lot of people had high hopes that it would be good.

The movie should have been a rated R movie, not that PG13 crap. And who the hell cast Eva Mendez? She's a low-rent J-Lo (and J-Lo isn't that good to begin with).

Saw it yesterday. I thought it was ok, but I'm easy to please when it comes to movies.

I don't get how Ghost Rider is such an expert with his powers the first time he turns into the Ghost Rider. Most other superheroes didn't know WTF they were doing when the first found their powers, but Ghost Rider gets that chain and his strength all figured out immediately. Where's the damn learning curve?

Oh, they also showed the '300' trailer. DAMN that looks good! I wanted the theater to show that instead of Ghost Rider.

Edit: Yeah, bad choice casting Eva Mendes. She's nothing special to look at.

Looks like zombul finally got his big break in Ghost Rider:

Starring as "dead body #38"

It is an ok movie. Not great. If you dont see it, you wouldnt have missed anything great. Noticed a few screw ups in the movie. Biggest one was when Nicholas Cage is getting a wound on his shoulder sewn because he got stabbed with a 3" knife. But less than 10mins prior to that, he got crushed between 2 trucks and survived!

Well I feel good knowing the odds of me making it are better than the odds of you getting laid by someone who isn't in your family.

Ah I see what you mean....not promising. Well I still plan to see it with my friend if it's still in theaters a couple weeks from now.

A friend I work with said he liked it, so who knows maybe I will too.

Good small review and NO SHIT! He needed stitches for the knife, but not for the trucks...or how about all the gun fire?

I saw it last night. I thought it was a cunt hair better than The Punisher (newer one).

It was thrown together. Hardly any thought was put into it. Not to mention, I am getting sick of these childish spooks or "oohs & awwws" put into these movies. Why must a villain glare into the camera and scream? Oh why should the camera focus on someone's eyes, then right when they open, play a sound effect or musical score? Why must everything seem so epic? Batman Begins was top notch cuz it hardly had ANY cheese. Comic book movies, regardless of their comic book heritage, should NOT have a shit load of one-liners.

Speaking of dialogue, this movie's blew. Christ was it bad.

Music? Fucking guitars every 5 min of action. Seriously, why every time?

The villain? Shit, he AND his henchmen (especially them) caused Ghost Rider zero threat. Seriously, where was the "challenge?"

I also didnt really like Ghost's skull. I wanted it to look more fossil-like, dirtier, older, something!

On the positive side, I thought Eva looked her best in this movie. Better than in Hitch. I loved who played the Devil, best character of the movie. Ghost Rider's voice and laugh was awesome. I just wished he didnt say shit like "youre going down."

Anyway, I liked it, but it wasnt as good as other comic book movies. I expected that though, so it WAS better than I expected.
