Gee - didn't even know this movie was a go and they are filming it now.  I kind of liked the first one.  Nic Cage is back of course.  A couple pics below and many more pics here:  http://www.facebook.com/comicbookmovies#!/album.php?aid=297052&id=364544669803

Still not seen the first one. Nic Cage has been a bit rubbish over these past few years but i really enjoyed him in Kick Ass. Think i will have to go out there and see the first one.

I read some of the comics when I was younger. And I did like the 1st movie. I thought Sam Elliott's character was good in it.

I was a fan of the comic book back in the day.

The first movie was OK but the most supernatural thing in it was Nick Cage's hair ;)

You know I'm a sucker for Nic (no movie is too small or too bad to turn down) Cage.  I'm in!

Me too!  I've been a long time fan since the early days, Peggy Sue Got Married is one of my favorite films of all time.  Also Birdy, Wild At Heart, Leaving Las Vegas, Honeymoon in Vegas, Adaptation, The Rock, man so many awesome flicks to his credit, the guy can do anything...drama, comedy, action, he's one of my all time favorite actors.  And I was super into the original run of the Ghost Rider when I was a kid reading comics.  I thought the first film was okay but not that good, but I have high hopes for this one.

I had to see the first one in the theatre twice, as my wife was in China at the time and likes Nic Cage, and wanted to see it when she got back. I have been pretty good at avoiding his other movies in the theatre since, but thinking that streak will end with this one as the Wife will make me take her.

Sweet, didn't know this was so soon.  I've heard the buzz is surprisingly good for this, and I saw it described as something of a reboot of the first take on this character.  I kind of hope they do a darker take on the Ghost Rider.  Even thoguh the leather, and the flaming motorcycle can pretty easily be dismissed as 70s schlock, I think there's certainly a way to treat the underlying themes of vengeance and redemption in a serious and still entertaining way.

I feel like I was reading about the wrong movie for a minute there.  I thought Ghost Rider was HORRIBLE.  Not the character, so all the comics fan can settle themselves down.  Nic Cage was totally miscast, it was miscasting of the League of Extraordinary Gentleman levels.  The most impressive special effect was a tie between his hair and the world where he could pull Eva Mendes.  If they wanted to reboot this mess step one should have been ditching Nic Cage.  I would rather watch the Ang Lee Hulk then that movie.   Okay, I think I'm good now.

I liked the 1st movie. I didn't see it till i watched on DVD but plan on seeing this new one at the theater. The wife and I have enjoyed alot of Nic Cage movies so this will be a must see for both of us. Some of my favorite Cage movies were 'Next', 'Knowing', and 'Con Air'.
