oh yes, the animated sections were so cool! the beginning bit was over and done with really quickly though, I remember wanting more of that!  it should please those who always grumble about backstories though! and that part about the devil!

Spoiler

I cracked up when the Jerry Springer picture appeared, lol!!

there was some heart to this movie too, with John Blaze and Danny, but it was weird for me as I found myself wanting Johnny to be even badder!  

Oh! and I must not forget how much I loved the ending....DO NOT CLICK ON THIS SPOILER IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE MOVIE I AM NOT KIDDING!!!!

Spoiler

the idea of his 'possession' being by a fallen angel was really intriguing to me too.. i love that kind of blending of duality..and at the ending when Johnny discovered that he could feel the angel and put his hand on Danny...

I meant Johnny's true spirit, Lula, kind and compassionate.

The devil was supposed to be a fallen angel, Lula, so I base it on that, and all the stories and movies so popular now where angels fall from grace.

Spoiler

My impression of the ending was that it was deliberately ambiguous, and we are left to wonder if the Ghost Rider is now an angel of vengence, not a demon, able to differentiate and choose who he punishes. And I wondered if that scene where he took power from the boy to get the demon back meant that the boy lost his inheritance from his father and was now a normal boy.

So yesterday was the big day. even though i am still a bit sick i went to the cinema, because i already had the tickets and theres no excuse for missing another masterpiece of sir cage´s work!

i have to say i really liked what neveldine and taylor did in the two crank movies and you can see that these are the producers. the movie is complete different then the first one hard to compare i must say. but it think i like this one more because darker and has more action like the comics.

i really enjoyed to see the grotesc parts of the movie and the fight scenes with the rider really kick ass. to me the 3d was uneccesary they could have made a normal 2d but ok. the story was fun to watch and thrilling. the church or very religius people could easily be offended by some parts of the movie i guess thats really some sort of blasphemy but that makes it even better to me.=) Nic´s perfomance especially when he changes the characters is just amazing he really did something great and new just for the next time. And i think the end just tells us that its a good point for the third movie and i have the feeling that we will see Nic doing this role again.

Well, I saw it too, Lula, and here's proof!

Of course, Cage and Hinds aren't the only familiar faces in the film. If you're paying attention at around the midway point of the film, you'll see a recreation of Pink Floyd's famous "Wish You Were Here" album cover, with a man shaking the hand of another, bursting into flames. It's an iconic image, and who else to capture the mood but Neveldine and Taylor themselves? "We were gonna actually use the Pink Floyd cover, but we couldn't get the rights," Taylor laments. As a result, the two show up recreating the famous pose on the album cover, a one-second gag sure to please rock fans. Of course, Taylor also claims that your eyes may be deceiving you, as he jokes, "That was us making the deal with Sony."

I do remember reading that they did a cameo, but that is all the detail I recall. I noticed it right away but didn't get the context since I am not familiar with that album cover. It's pretty cool, eh?

Yep, that's the one, Lulu. Glad you liked it.

Ever since the first movie, I've been keeping a close eye on Ol' Flamehead in the comics. And like I said, I have good ol' Nic Cage to thank for it.

Mr. Cage, if you ever come across this, I'd just like to say, as one Ghost Rider fan to another, thank you. Thank you for helping me become interested in this most awesome of comic book characters.

Okay, I've seen ghost rider, and here is my review! (Maybe a few spoilers but, nothing from the plot itself)

First of all, I should say, it was less than I expected. (I feel guilty for saying this and very sorry for Nic) But, I should be honest, and say that I thought the music was not chosen well, at least to me. I think they should have went for something harder, especially when the ghost rider attacked. Also, I thought, when Nic talked about what happenend, with these cartoon and picture images to illustrate it, it was rather a little silly. I thought it was funny but it just didn't really fit the movie, and the jokes made in the movie itwelf were better. Another thing wich was a little sad is, that the story was good but it wasn't put together so well, and sometimes it was overtop, with that I mean, like too much to believe. Except these things, I did think the story was good and the actors all played it very well! Nic was great, Idris Elba too, loved how they act! The end, I thought was really good. I loved the story they told and the acting, Nic did some tremendous scenes in it, and that all was great. Of course, I couldn't do it better, it's easy to give bad comments. But as you all here know I do love Nic. I think it was a little less than I expected becous eof the trailers and the awesome reviews of everyone. It wasn't bad, but some things didn't seem to fit right. 

Well it wasn't such a big dissapointment,  I still liked it, but just a little. But, maybe for others it is better, it's just a review!^^
