Not enough to count as a watch. So I'm gonna try again tonight.KaBluiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07032525501051762974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5486647021928910059.post-27183309710766686352012-11-16T08:27:00.209-08:002012-11-16T08:27:00.209-08:00I don't know that I feel this one is better th...I don't know that I feel this one is better than the first. Sure, Cage may have been acting a bit of a puss, but when the Ghost Rider came out it was hell fire and brimstone all the way. However, now we have a reversal where the Cage flipouts are more energetic and lively than the Ghost Rider. At times it looks like Cage is trying to repress the rider so he sits there squirming like a constipated child, but other times he looks like he's trying to turn into the rider but is having a hard time getting it on which doesn't exactly strike fear into the heart of the bad guy.<br /><br />I'm no big fan of this new penance stare either. Hold still for 15 seconds please while I yawn and tilt my head from side to side. And the whole time the bad guy sits there apparently unaffected by the stare till the anti-climatic *poof*. Really, all that long buildup of boring yawning for a puff of ash? I wasn't even sure it was the penance stare at first and if not for having seen the first movie I'd not have known what he was on about. As it was it took a few before I realized what was supposed to be happening.<br /><br />As if that wasn't boring enough, he's all a bunch of black smoke and hardly any flames! Most of the time you couldn't see what was happening for all of the smoke and it was like he had to work hard to get his flame on. Come on! What is more scary, a skeleton that smolders heavy, black smoke or a raging inferno of fire from the pit of hell itself?<br /><br />Other obnoxious things: <br />1) A decay guy that caused almost everything he touched to decay, but unlike Midas he apparently could select not to decay his gloves, the steering wheel, or the Twinkie wrapper. Very fitting though that the only food to survive the decay man's touch was a Twinkie.<br />2) A not so subtle anti-piracy message written into the script. Please tell me this was someone's lame idea of a joke.<br />3) The Devil creates the Ghost Rider to do his bidding but is instead easily overcome and banished by him. Is it just me or was the bad-guy demon in the first movie a lot more powerful and challenging to overcome?<br /><br />If you're looking for Cage flipouts this sequel is better, but if you are looking for a mildly entertaining movie to watch just stick to the first one. Ok, what's Next?

Bright spots: whenever Johnny transformed into the Rider we got to see the Cage-outs we all desire!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11208767045405187535noreply@blogger.com
