Ghost Rider (DVD)

I’m starting to become concerned all my reviews are in praise of the film in question. I’m like a cave troll who’s just discovered the magic box with small people in and I think everything I watch is magic.

And I’m not going to change my habits for this review.
I loved this film!

It could have slotted into my Nicolas Cage collection, or my comic book collection, depending on how good it was as a comic book adaptation. Suffice to say, it’s gone into the latter.

The effects were excellent, not over the top, very stylish.
Only once in the film did I feel ‘aware of the acting’, and that was surprisingly Nicolas Cage. Ok, yes I know they’re obviously acting, I mean flaming skeleton actors aren’t easy to come by, but you know what I mean. I immerse myself so totally in the action I dislike being pulled back to reality by ‘acting’.

Sam Elliott is as always a complete joy to watch in the Road House type role he does so very well.

If you’re a petrol-head, you’ll love the bikes, both real and CGI.
If you’re a comic book fan, you’ll love the classic good vs evil storyline.
If you’re male there’s Eva Mendez.
If you’re female and young there’s Matt Young, or middle aged & a bit weird like me, the wonderful Sam Elliott.

Though it’s a 15 I’d be happy to allow my 11 and 13 year olds to watch it, it’s a bit scary & there’s plenty of fantasy violence but it’s not ‘adult’ if you get my drift, which is heart-warming as far as I’m concerned. It is a comic adaptation after all.

After hearing the graphics of this movie were not up to scratch i was very impresed when i first saw this film at odeon cinemas. it has astonishing special effects, with chosen characters fitting their roles brilliantly.

It is a Film i have been wanting to buy for a while and to see it here for Auction on Ebay was a chance for me to buy.
The seller was very good in explaining what he/she was selling, and the transaction was very easy.
They kept intouch to let me know that the item was sent , and received it very quickly.Hopefully i will use them again.

Brought this recently from ebay for an absolute bargain.. I was originaly going to buy it full price when it came out but i wasnt sure..Now i am actually glad i didnt pay £13 for it...You might think that means i didnt like it or enjoy well your wrong, the only reason im glad i didnt pay £13 for it is because i think all dvd's are overpriced and although an entertaining film it still needed just that little bit more to make me want to spend more money on it.... Apart from some little gripes about the performance of the actors this film was a great peice of entertainment.
I love all things Marvel so i had to have this for my collection, with some very funny quips and some pretty good special effects it made for a good watch, but to say it is a blockbuster....well i wouldn't go that far anyway.
Good but no means the best!

i knew as soon as this came out a the cinema i wanted to see it. absolutely brilliant, nicholas cage as ever a brilliant actor, the effects on him when he became night rider were superb, the story was very good and kept the pace going right to the end. a definite must see for action movie lovers.

Excellent film.10/10 as usual to Nicholas Cage for his outstanding performance in such a hit or miss film.100% for me.

Hot Fuzz has to be one of the best Simon Pegg has done it suits him he does what he does best... make people laugh 10 out of 10 from start to finish.
It also has some good extras to go with the film.
A must have if you haven`t already got it.

Being a mad Marvel fan i was glad they made Ghost rider! good cast even thought nick is a bit old but no biggy eva made up for it! good ction scenes and good plot all round a liked it wasnt the worst comic film but still wasnt the best!

Lets see how number fairs.....

When this came out at the Cinema it got slated, which will normally not put me off going to see it. But when I saw the trailer's it looked major Cheese city !!! So when I got the chance to Buy it for under £10 I fought I would give it a try.
I new the Special Effects would be good but I was thinking it might turn out like most of the Marvel comic Films, but have to say Nicolas Cage plays a Great Ghost Rider & Eva Mendes is just as good as his Love Interest.

Basically Cage sells his Soul to the Devil (Peter Fonda) to save his Dad from Cancer, and becomes the Devils Bounty Hunter.
The Devil comes back years later to use his services to get rid of his Own son from Earth who is trying to take over his Dads realm.

This is a good Action Flick to stick on when you just want to see a bit of Crazy action.

7/10

I thought this was a good film. It wasnt the best film i had ever seen but to be honest wasnt the worst either.

Good film. Nicholas cage always gets my vote. If you like Bikes and like Gone in 60 seonds then this is a good film to watch.

Excellent film lots of action,if you like nickolas cage then you will like this, super special effects,one for all the family

i collect the comics as a kid nick cage plays his role very well worth a watch if only for the motor cycles

The best thing about this movie is the special effects, and the music. I do think that Nick Cage looked very tasty, but was working with a limited script, could have been written better. I will, however, be watching this again many times.

got film today and just finished watchin it, what an amazing film this is a must see especially on Blu ray if you have a Blu ray or PS3

It was'nt Nicholas Cages best work, but the effects are great and the horror in it will have you hiding away from the shadows.

This is a good film.fex were vere good,the story line was good to.
so if you like a good comie book,you will like this film and it's story line.
That go's with it.

I am not familiar with the Marvel comic that this film was based on but the story revolves round Johnny Blaze, a stunt motorcyclist by day who makes a deal with the devil and as a result, by night, he is made to reap the souls of the guilty and send them down to hell. The special effects are extreme and the action keeps the film moving; Nicolas Cage acts the part of Blaze well and it is a dark yet fun ride. The main characters are all solid and well portrayed though no oscar winners here. Not exactly a cult classic or even a serious must see before you die but if you have a couple of hours to kill then worth a watch. It has its moments but I can't really recall them and if I could, well I wouldn't want to spoil it for you now would I? The directors cut is 123mins long though...

The film is good and the affects of the film are good to.My daughter loved it and could not stop watching it,she liked the part when Nicholas cage changed in the night,and you see a skeleton head and all the fire he dose.Not too much blood which was good and I liked the story line and it was not boring.Nothing bad I can say about the film.

Fore kids like mine that love super heroes and action movies this film delivers and has an edge and isn't as cheesy as the well loved classics. Yes Nick Cage is too old and gritty for the part but if you're under 10 what do you care about that. Spooky, ghoulish, a perfect Halloween film for the under 13s. Shame Eva's part is so typically weak and girly and minor, but there you go, what can you expect from this man dominated genre.

I think this is brilliant, nicholas Cage plays an excellent part and i love the cowboy thats in it! Lots of action and excitement but also abit of romance with Eva, would definatly reccomend to anyone, well worth a watch!

This film should have starred a much younger actor, The role was really meant for a young rebel not a middle aged one, Eva Mendes was dull, I didn't care if she survived the film.The plot could have used more random bad guy punishment, rapists, murderers etc. One mugger with a flick knife wasn't enough.
However the effects were very good lots of fun.
But in all Strictly average.
