![]() ![]() Idris Elba is also in this movie for some reason and he's great in anything, even if his character is completely throwaway. You can tell he's invested in the role, and his dedication really holds this movie together. Nicolas Cage is always enjoyable to watch. But I'll be fair, not all of this movie sucks. I mean, the dialogue alone tries to take itself seriously but ends up providing really good unintentional laughs. So you may be asking yourself, "why give it a 4/10 if it's so awful?" Well, I'm a sucker for laughably bad movies and this definitely qualifies. The writing in this movie is especially horrendous did they hire a 10 year old to do the screenplay? It sure as hell seems like it. This movie just pisses on Ghost Rider's origin (literally) and expects you to enjoy watching sh*t blow up for the sake of sh*t blowing up. You can tell this is the same guy that directed Crank: the difference is that movie didn't need any substance because the premise was so fun. It's just a bunch of things happening on screen oozing with CGI to make up for the complete lack of substance. It throws you right into the action with no exposition. No part of this movie is fleshed out and none of it is interesting. The first Ghost Rider was campy and stupid, but it was a watchable popcorn action movie and it had Eva Mendes (hence, watchable). Is Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance one of them? Hell no. The guy has some hidden gems in his career. I'll watch anything the guy does no matter how terrible the reviews are, and sometimes I'll be pleasantly surprised, as was the case with "Seeking Justice", "Drive Angry", and "Kiss of Death". Johnny Blaze, the Spirit of Vengeance is BACK. We’re firing on all cylinders and I can’t wait for everyone to see the hellfire we’re bringing! It’s about to get crazy!”Ĭheck out the cover by Kael Ngu below and look for Ghost Rider #1 to arrive in stores in February 2022.Okay, I'm a Nic Cage fanboy. “As a comic nerd and a horror nerd, Ghost Rider has always been a favorite of mine so this project is a dream come true. “I’m incredibly excited to be riding shotgun with Ben Percy as we bring Ghost Rider screaming into his 50th anniversary,” Smith added. Prepare yourself for the ultimate in road horror.”Īrtist Cory Smith also discussed what it feels like to be “riding shotgun” with Percy at the wheel: Cory Smith is killing it on art, and we’re going to honor the past while burning rubber into a terrifying future packed with mystery, action, and shadow-soaked emotion. It would be badass to write this series at any point in my life, but launching on the 50th anniversary feels especially (un)holy. “Ghost Rider is arguably the best designed, but inarguably, the most heavy metal character in all of comics. To this day, the sight of the character blazing along a midnight highway makes my heart rev like a four-stroke engine. That monstrous bike coughing out clouds of sulfurous exhaust. I grew up reading Stephen King, watching John Carpenter, and listening to Black Sabbath, and when it came to comics, I always reached first for the dark and weird which means I read a hell of a lot of Ghost Rider. In a statement announcing the series, writer Benjamin Percy described some of the influences for the book: And there’s a spirit in him that’s begging to break out! This life is beginning to feel like a prison. And he sees bloody visions when he’s awake. He has nightmares of monsters when he sleeps. Johnny Blaze has the perfect life: a wife and two kids, a job at an auto repair shop and a small-town community that supports him… But Johnny isn’t doing well. And Cory Smith, known for his brutally beautiful artwork on titles such as CONAN THE BARBARIAN, is eager to bring the scorching action and hellish horror that only Ghost Rider can deliver! Together, this team of creators are hellbound to make this Ghost Rider’s most explosive era yet! ![]() ![]() Known for his thrilling work on titles such as WOLVERINE and X-FORCE, Percy will put his own devilish spin on the Ghost Rider mythos, evoking all the frightening elements of Ghost Rider’s most classic stories while driving the Spirit of Vengeance towards a new age. ![]()
