Ok, so I just got back seeing Ghost Rider SOV. I have to say I enjoyed it. Now for everyone who has beef with the Rider films I now get your point of view, but as a Ghost Rider fan I did enjoy it. So hear me out I have stuff to say for both sides.
First off, the one thing that I love about the whole film was it was much DARKER from the first one.( and yes I did like the first one too.) It was seven years after the first one. So when the Rider showed up he was a burned skull and twitchy like he has gone crazy. Which was very cool. Also, the Rider showed up a lot more than in the first one which is nice because you got to see more of the hero. Now something I notice as I was watching the movie was that they were trying to add to much humor in it. For example, Johnny was saying that the devil takes many forms here on earth and they were showing pictures of different forms. Then out of on where they show a picture of Jerry Springer. WTF Jerry Springer?
Now we all know Marvel Knight haven't done the best work (Punisher War Zone)especially with flash backs. When they showed Johnny making the deal he smashed his hand on broken glass and splashed blood on it. Well in the first one he just got a paper cut and a drop of blood landed on it.
Another thing that caught my eye was the boy Danny. Now is this the third Ghost Rider? Is this Danny Ketch ? Not really sure because apparently this boy is the son of Saten. So if there is a possibly of a third (remember now I said IF ) will he become the next Rider.
Over all the story was good. I did really like. Now if they decided to reboot this will I be upset ? Not really, but as a CBM lover I give Ghost Rider SOV a 3 out of 5.
