Idk...I'm getting a sense of cheese out of this movie even more than the first one which is worrysome....I don't think Nic Cage was well cast either, you need someone who at least feels darker in his acting. 

That said, I am very interested in seeing it.

I thought I read that this is a pet project of Nic Cage's and the first one wouldn't have been made if he wasn't interested.

Really?  Nic Cage actually choosy about what parts he plays?  Its the end of the world I tell you! ;)

It could have been worse, he wanted to be Superman!     :jawdrop

I like a lot of Nic Cage movies but he would not have made a good Superman. i thought Brandon Roth did a good job though.

I just watched the first one and liked it a lot.
Nice balance of action and wry humor to keep it fun.

I like Nicolas Cage, he's like the Tom Petty of action heros.
I guess that would make Bruce Willis the Bruce Springsteen of action heros.


As long as they don't get cheap and cast Kevin Bacon, I'll look forward to the sequel.

Kevin Bacon is cheap, but Cage is like Tom Petty....  I'm a stranger in an unholy land in this thread methinks.

Saw this new Ghost Rider film today.  Pretty standard movie.  Nic Cage seemed to be having fun with the part again and the action stuff was well done.  Movie does move pretty quick and I think was only about 90 minutes.  The story was pretty simple, but I enjoyed it.  Oh, I didn't pay for the 3D version.  If you liked the first one, you probably will like this movie too.

Waiting to watch this at home. Nostalgia for the comics (and my youth) is not enough to make me head out for this, considering the lukewarm reception it's getting in general.  I can wait a few months.

I never got to see this at the theater but it does come out on Blu-ray and DVD on June 12.

Looking forward to finally seeing this. I heard from a friend Nic Cage chews up and spits out the script and this has the best use of the Wilhelm Scream in any film ever.

Saw this movie and then got my money's worth by watching my wife watch it. Somehow Cage does a fantastic job of horrible acting. As my wife says, this would be a great movie for someone that's never seen a movie.

If you do watch this, watch it again, but with someone and watch how they react to the scenes since you didn't tape yourself. The scenes without Cage are great, but wow ... I don't know what he was thinking when he decided to do this.
