Ghost Rider

Movies Forum

Another comic book turned into a movie, Nicholas Cage plays Johnny Blaze, a.k.a. Ghost Rider.

Here's a trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGjsPYLb9xU

Nick Cage likes the comics. He was signed on to play Superman about five or so years ago was given a $20 million pay or play contract. The studio eventually scrapped the whole project and paid Cage the money for doing nothing.

Not to mention Cage named his kid Kal-El, Superman's Kryptonian name. His stage name of Cage he got from Luke Cage, Hero For Hire, a.k.a Power Man.

-HECK!

I'll see it, but I don't know that we need Ghost Rider, not to mention Elektra, before a Captain America movie. If it's good, then that's cool, but we'll see. Too many turdy superhero movies out these days that get my hopes up only to tick me off. I'm looking at you, Hulk.

-HECK!

They are making a Ghost Rider movie? *sigh*


There are a TON of better comic characters to do a movie on, WAAAAAAAAAAY before this one.

And you're right, Heck... they should be doing a Captain America movie.

The trailer for Ghost Rider is alright, never read the book back in the day so I can't really get geeked over it. I will probably see it, but can do with it or without it.

-HECK!

I dunno. The effects were o.k. looking in that trailer. The only thing realy cool about the whole thing was Sam Ellitot. (his voice)



The cycle looked awesome on fire. But the story didn't sell me.

I don't think the politcal climate is good enough that Hollywood would think it a good idea to do Captain America. Too many people overseas that won't wanna watch it.

I don't know if that would be the overall feeling if they knew Captain America's origin. If the movie sticks with the comic book background, which they f'n better, Cap is a World War 2 hero, fighting Nazi's and such. How can you hate that. Plus he brings that old school heroic vibe from the past, kind of an allegory into what we need now.

-HECK!
