DVD Reviews of Ghost Rider (Two-Disc Extended Cut)
DVD Review: Veangeance Has A Name. You Will Know It As, The Ghost Rider.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been putting this review off for 4 months now. This was my #1 movie of 2008 (not movies that came out but ones I've seen and bought in the year). I always wonder if Roxxaine became a Rider, but it would probably be bad for Johnny. I always wondered why Ghost Rider's fire turns blue in the presence of his loved ones. It probably means he's weak. I love the part when he first changes. My mom doesn't like that part. I love 2 different parts. The part where Ghost Rider rides off the rooftop and Carter Slade and Ghost Rider riding to San Venganza together. I think in 2010 there is a sequel being made where Veangeance comes, and Carter Slade returns. I recomend this movie but for now, Lets Ride.DVD Review: LAME!!! 4.25 OUT OF 10
Summary: 2 Stars
Just when my expectations for super hero films were sky high after seeing The Dark Knight and Iron Man, Ghost Rider comes along and sends my expectations crashing back down. While it's not as awful as the likes of say, the Fantastic 4 films or what not, it still sucks and reminds me why I hated super hero films for the longest time up until last year. Worse yet, this film had potential to be great but instead ends up being a miserable flop.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT: The story focuses on a man named Johnny Blaze; played by Nicholas Cage; a professional stuntman specializing in dirt bikes. After the death of his father during stunt, Johnny runs away and ends up meeting Satan himself who makes him become the Ghost Rider and stop evil forces and punish people for their sins. The rest of the story focuses on Johnny's love life and having to stop four villains possessing the powers of nature and one of them is Satan's own son.
MUSIC: Generally consists of rock as well as a usual musical score you'd expect, but it's not in a good way.
ACTION: These scenes were a mix between somewhat interesting to utter joke. The stunts involving the bike and the CGI effects were cool, but what's up with the fact these villains are so wimpy? The fight scenes with the villains end far too quickly and crappily scripted to the point of laughably bad and utterly inept. The action scenes overall are not good.
ACTING: Nicholas Cage, can you not get a good role in anything anymore (Wicker Man was hated by critics and moviegoers, Bangkok Dangerous; same case, Next, etc.)? The dialogue was awful, and so was the acting. The actors did not seem to know how to work with the script and their performances were really bad.
OVERALL: Do not watch. It's not the worst super hero film ever, but it still sucks. It's painful to see Nicholas Cage stoop this low especially because he's starred in good films like the National Treasure flicks and Face Off. I also doubt this film caught the feel of the Marvel character for the most part as well.
THE GOOD: The CGI effects and some of the cool stunts.
THE BAD: The action scenes, the acting, the storyline, and the music.
DVD Review: TOP 10 WORST OF ALL TIME
Summary: 1 Stars
Hard to believe a film could be so bad, but this one is. What and embarrassment for all involved. Nick Cage stoops to a new low and Eva, low cut tops, Mendes has only her breats to offer.
it is clear Marvel is only about making money and not art.
DVD Review: Major disappointment.
Summary: 1 Stars
I won't spend much time and energy giving my opinion on this movie. It's not worth it to me. It could have been a great movie, but is anything but that. If your over twelve or fourteen years old, i would not recommend watching this movie although no doubt many adults will find it "superb". I only write reviews for two types of movies. Movies that i had very high hopes for and was very disappointed and movies that i love. No love here. Just a bad taste in my mouth. I lost interest half way through this movie, which seldom happens to me. Enough said. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS ONE.DVD Review: "Extended Cuts" means "better chance of pleasing fans"
Summary: 4 Stars
The Extended cut of Ghost Rider takes the average-quality movie, Ghost Rider, and turns it into a movie worth watching. The added and extended scenes add a touch of humor and character to the film, which the theatrical release lacked to a great degree. While the extended cut of Ghost Rider is still not quite on-par with some other superhero and comic movies that have come out recently, it certainly isn't going to be left behind by any Tobey Macguire-starring sequels!
The Blu-Ray's enhanced visuals really flesh out the truly superb computer effects and filmwork for this movie, as well. All in all, I give this blu-ray-enhanced version of the movie a 4 out of 5.
Description of Ghost Rider (Two-Disc Extended Cut)
Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 06/12/2007 Run time: 123 minutes Rating: UrOnce intended as a feature for Johnny Depp, the long-germinating feature film adaptation of Marvel Comics' cult title Ghost Rider stars Nicolas Cage as motorcyclist Johnny Blaze, who transforms into a skull-faced angel of vengeance to battle the forces of evil. Though perhaps a bit too mature for the role, Cage brings a degree of humor to the outrageous proceedings; he's well matched by the Easy Rider himself Peter Fonda, amusingly cast as Mephistopheles, the demon with whom Blaze strikes a bargain to save his father, and in turn, causes his transformation into Ghost Rider. Wes Bentley is also fine as Blackheart, the rebellious offspring of Mephistopheles, and Blazes' chief opponent in the film. They're joined by a solid supporting cast which includes Donal Logue, Eva Mendes, and Sam Elliott, but their participation and a relentless barrage of CGI effects can't hide the fact that the story itself, though largely faithful to its comic origins, is rife with clich?d characterizations and glum B-movie dialogue. Fans of the venerable title may cry foul over this adaptation (as they did over helmer Mark Steven Johnson's previous comic-to-movie feature, Daredevil), but less stringent viewers may enjoy the fiery visuals and Cage's typically quirky performance. --Paul Gaita
On the DVD
Though largely reviled by critics, Ghost Rider performed well enough during its theatrical run to warrant this deluxe edition DVD, which adds nine more minutes to the feature and includes a wealth of extras that cover its production, as well as the Marvel Comics character's history. The deleted footage is a mix of throwaway detail (reporter/love interest Eva Mendes' investigation into the Ghost Rider's identity gets more screen time) and interesting character wrinkles (the reason behind Johnny Blaze's deal with Mephistopheles has a less-than-honorable side) that help in part to give the film some dramatic heft. But these will have less cache with viewers and fans of the film than the supplemental features, which cover the making of the film in broad but interesting detail. Two commentaries are provided, one from director Mark Steven Johnson and visual effects supervision Kevin Mack, and the other by producer Gary Foster; both are informative, but those with a taste for the technical side of moviemaking will find the former more valuable, as both men cover the production intricacies at length. The making-of featurette "Spirit of Vengeance" is actually three 30-minute documentaries which include interviews with the cast, production tidbits, and a eyebrow-raising bit of Nicolas Cage working through his own process of "becoming" the Ghost Rider (those that consider Cage an amusing eccentric will find these clips most enjoyable). A gallery of animatics show how certain scenes evolved from production sketch to finished special effect, but the most intriguing extra is "Sin and Salvation," a four-part documentary that traces Ghost Rider's comic book incarnation from his origin in the 1970s to the revivals and revisions of the '90s and 2000s. For longtime GR fans, this may be the most valuable extra, as it gives an excellent overview of the character, and serves as a reminder of what made him such a cult hit to those who may have been disappointed by this big-screen version. -- Paul Gaita
