what a flaming pile of $H!T
A few weeks ago a movie was released that can only be considered an embarrassment to Marvel comics and the movies that are of this brand. The film is Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance starring Nicholas Cage, is so off the charts with his acting style that it overshadows just what the underlying pain that is seminal in the character of Ghost Rider which anyone who has read the comic would attest to. Whether you focus on Johnny Blaze or Daniel Ketch the story is the same man sells his soul to the devil due to the profound loss of the love of his life, man is imbued with the powers of hellfire and brimstone, and is mentally scarred to the point of psychosis, and defends mankind from supernatural threats of hell and Earth with a violent and righteous vengeance. That is not personified by a clumsy, overacting, motorcycle enthusiast who twice in this waste of celluloid urinates fire. Overall fans of this comic or any comics would not approve of this film, it's direction, or plot.

Yeah...just based on the trailer it looks way overdone and cheesy. But, tis the way of Hollywood. Anytime they change something in print into a movie they feel the need to make it a little bit of everything. little comedy, little action, little romance. even if that means straying from the original. It really sucks for fans.
ReplyDeleteI have never been a big Nicholas Cage fan and this doesn't look like one of his better movies.
