Anthony Orosco Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Took my kids to see this the other day, spent $30.00 on tickets and another $20.00 on goodie's..... I should have spent that $50.00 on Girl Scout cookies and would of had better memories eating them with my kids than what this movie provided. The special effects are outstanding but sadly the story line does not live up to them. It's a campy half-baked cheesy romp of a hero with no real powers.....in other words Ghost Rider is a boring "bad guy" hero. A real stinker people so don't bother with it. I enjoyed the 15 minutes of previews more than the movie so I'll quickly tell you about those and what I think is going to be good. Spider Man 3 looks to be another winner with the entrance of Venom and Sandman. I think though that this may be it for Spidey as it may be running out of gas. I also think that the new Fantastic Four with the introduction of Silver Surfer may be better than the first F4. The movie preview though that made the hair on my neck freak out is starring John Cusack, I think it's called "Room 1408".....man this is one of those wild nightmare "I've lost my mind" type movies.

Anthony I have to say that in my days in the Corps, and still today, when I'm utterly exhausted, I still have dreams that are like never ending "i've lost my mind" type movies. As much as I'm a fan of Cusak, I'll have to miss this one. I still dream that there is an enemy at the edge of my hole and I'm TOATLLY paralized. what's worse is that I know it is a dream while I'm in the dream, but the reality feels exactly the same. TOTAL PARALYSIS! It really sucks. I was a Marine sniper for 7 1/2 years, and was eventually medically retired, due to various injuries, but I don't get dreams about the results of my job, I get dreams about the loss of those I couldn't protect. I guess that's where the paralysis dream comes from. Every single day I end up finding atleast one split second to realize how f-ing lucky I am to still be here. I won't be seeing the Cusack film. I've seen every other other one. He's one of my favorites. Gross Pointe Blnak was hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullet Sponge Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 thanks for the heads up on Ghost Rider...i was having doubts if I wanted to see it or not, but with what you have said...I will pass!! Thanks Anthony! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott H. Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I enjoyed Ghost Rider and so did my 20-year-old son. I like the fact that it doesn't take itself seriously, plus Eva Mendes is in the movie and that alone is worth the admission price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Simone Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I really lost interest in Cage when he named his kid Kal-EL, the birth name of Superman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanilla Sky made it much easier to tell people what they are like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
