Ghost Rider Tries to Prove Critics Wrong
Filed under: Action, Fandom, Exhibition, Comic/Superhero/Geek
In the increasing effort to prove critics of his early trailers and posters wrong, Mark Steven Johnson and the Ghost Rider team have released a new trailer showing Johnny Blaze transforming in more impressive, detailed fashion than the previously seen transformation scene. The transformation scene was one of those most viciously attacked after the trailer release, so it makes sense a new version was quick to follow. Check out the official blog for the new trailer, and see if it looks any better to you. Better? Yeah, I guess so ... although really, that isn't saying much. Despite my geek-nature longing to enjoy this film, there really haven't been a lot of positive things to say about it. Really, the best you can say about this flick is "hey, at least it isn't one of Marvel's self-financed films, so it probably won't hurt so bad if it doesn't do well." On the other hand, all the negative buzz isn't setting great momentum for Marvel's subsequent films. I'm still crossing my fingers on Ghost Rider, but even I don't expect much.

Dude, seriously... pass in your geek card. If you don't think that Ghost Rider is gonna seriously rock, you probably sit down to pee.

This clip looks great! I think when critics see a leather-clad skeleton slinging a chain around while riding a firey motorcycle they detach it from the character Johnny (Nick Cage). Lets face it, they just don't know how good the Ghost Rider story is nor do they understand why there's a transformation in the character.

Dude Jonathan, Mark has every right to have massive amounts of doubt in this movie i mean look at the evidence:
1. Mark Steven Johnson is directing.....this is the same man who made a travesty out of Daredevil.
2. MSJ has hinted that we will not see Mephisto in his full on Demonic goodness but instead a smaller pg-13 friendly version.
3. ITS F'ING PG-13....how can a movie about a man who turns into a demonic skeleton on fire who takes vengeance on the wicked....yep that sounds like something a 13 year old would comprehend.

Only slightly in Daredevil's defense... I think the Director's Cut DVD(2nd released DVD) is a MUCH stronger movie... additional sub plot, less Elektra...
