He doesn't like knives? :?
nah, gets shot and and blocks bullets with his chest and then ducks when they throw the gun at him... :thumb:
I always get a happy picture in my head whenever I think about that . . . sad right . .

Spoilers:



Just saw it.

Lot of plot holes. What was the point of Sam Elliot's character changing into the Ghost Rider only to just hang out? As well, Sam Elliot's beard... I kept asking myself, is it natural for him to have hair that high up on his cheek? (Face lift?)

Again, the knife attack needed stitches? The night stick to the face was no effect? Crushed by a car? No effect? Shot? No effect?

Except for the final one, the fight scenes were over in an instant (must have been too expensive to have one of the combatants have a flaming skull for a head).

Plus side: Some of the visuals were cool.

Overall verdict:

Wait for it on TV. This one is sloppy.

Below Daredevil.

I have not seen this movie yet, but I surely will the next weekend. My expectations will not be hampered by anything anyone has posted here.

Chances are I will really like this movie. :thumb:

Finally saw this and thought it was pretty cool. My only problem was the ending. Let's see...... :hm: stay as a Ghost Rider or go back to being normal and having Eva Mendes on your arm.

I expected the movie to be horrible, but I was pleasantly surprised by it. Nick actually did a halfway decent job with the role.

I think having Sam Elliott and Peter Fonda in the movie helped out a lot.

I agree with the Ascended one, FF2 was good.
