133: Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance



It isn't like I haven't seen this before, but when you watch it right after the 1st one you can tell the quality has improved. I mean the 1st one is great, but you really get to experience the craziness of the Ghost Rider within Johnny. Not to mention he turned this huge mining or whatever it was machine into his fire weapon/ride. My favorite parts have to be when that music starts to signify the badassery of the rider and the other part when the boy Danny figures out that he has the same powers as his dad the devil. He then proceeds to jump onto Johnny and scream fire back into him. Yes, I just spoiled and do I really care? No! Because it was awesome!

I admit I had a huge problem with the fact that they didn't respect the wishes of Peter Fonda as the original devil in the 1st movie, he wanted to reprise the role but gave it to someone else instead. The guy, in my opinion just acted like Fonda did in the 1st and was trying too hard. But I guess if you go with the logic in this movie that he burns up his host too fast with using his powers, then maybe he "burned up the host" that was Fonda. *rolls eyes and waves hand*

Anyways, I know that they will not do a 3rd movie with Nicolas Cage. I remember reading an article about it and thought that was kind of sad, but it would be interesting also to see the character from Marvel, The Ghost Rider to continue on with more storylines from the comics. When you see just how crazy he got in this movie though, it gives you some mad props to Nicolas with how he stayed at the Castle Dracula nearby while filming to get into character. He may be a little weird, like Tom Cruise can be, but you know a lot of the good actors are weird. They go to places that most people don't and do their own stunts for realism.

Yesterday one of my friends asked who was my favorite Marvel superhero, I said Deadpool at first but he is technically the anti-hero. So then I chose Antman. I think I might have to rescind that and change my Marvel one to Ghost Rider. An angel who went crazy with a motorcycle and fire. That is my kind of hero.

397-461 The End

Last and final mass movie post! I finally did it guys/gals, I completed my movie goal today!!!! I can't believe that I watched 461 movies in one year! I also can't believe I own that many movies! Now I did give some away and weeded some out, but I mean, seriously. This is insane and I am so proud of myself. Finally completing something that I said I would do, that is so huge. The feeling of doing something like this and going through it, I know that someone can do anything as long as you are determined. There were days that I just didn't want to watch the next movie in line, I wasn't in the mood for it and I had to just do it. I will procrastinate like no other, but I somehow forced myself. Here are the remaining movies of the goal: THAT IS IT! Can you believe it? Now the moment of truth, the picture of my movies to show you that ye

168: Hobbit - The Battle of the Five Armies

First off...HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!! Now I can get into the movie. This is my 2nd time seeing this one and I forgot that two people died at the end and not just Kili. I mean I cried, I cried really hard when the Elf King told her the reason why it hurt so much was because her love for him was real. My big emotional scale through this movie was, anxiety from all the battle going on, to "come on Thorin, get your head out of your ass", to "YAY THORIN IS BACK", to back heartbreak at the death of Fili, Kili and Thorin, to glad the war was over and Bilbo could go home...of course only to find out his personal effects were being auctioned off. I mean I know there is a lot of CGI in this movie and this one is my least favorite, but not because of that reasoning that is so many others'. I think it is because now they have to defend what they quested for and a lot of death. I mean you can't have a happy ending without fighting for it, but I definitely prefe

327: Riddick

Back to basics. To the animal side. The Furian side. Let's be honest here, the dog stole the show. We all want Riddick's dog, that one, not his brother or his sister, that dog. Now that that is cleared up, I do like that they went back to the rated R that this movie is and deserves. Yeah I do love the Chronicles of Riddick movie, a lot and it is my favorite, but there is something lacking. With this you also get the whole survival of the fittest, lone wolf, in the middle of nowhere man trying to find his home and who he is again. It also wouldn't be Riddick without throwing it back to the Pitch Black days. Aliens that come out in the cover of darkness or in this case, rain. Then you also get the father of the man who was being a douchebag in Pitch Black. You know, the one that wanted to kill the girl to save his own skin? Yeah that one. Glad to know that his father is a better man than he was, but kind of sad to watch him find out the horrible thing about his son.
