MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance’
February 20, 2012 5:02 pm I see that point. I'd say a conservative budget and unfamiliarity to CGI might be to blame there. For me, if the visuals are inferior to Crank, the comparison did not affect my enjoyment.

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance’
February 20, 2012 4:46 pm I guess you didn't. You're right. I had a knee-jerk reaction due to the overwhelming amount of "piling on for the sake of piling" that I'm gleaning from reviews on the net. Can I say I'm sorry?
I am however quite disappointed that the visual innovation and the cinematography were largely overlooked. They were the strengths of this film. I was floored by the visual spectacle of it all.
If I may, I would like to email you my review... Would that be cool Paul?

Special Edition – Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
February 20, 2012 3:46 pm LOL, nice suffix replacement there. :)
I understand this, but I feel, as I'm currently listening to the podcast that you were not able to put yourself in the context of this film.
But hey, whatever, it's not a big deal. It doesn't matter. I liked the movie you didn't. It's that simple. :)

Special Edition – Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
February 20, 2012 3:30 pm I want to take this comment at face value Conor but I paused the show at about 1 minute because I heard nothing in your (or Ron's) words and tone to indicate that you had anything but prejudice and close-mindedness about the movie.
I'll admit that it isn't easy to accept that people you look up to off-handedly dismiss a thing you love and consider a good piece of art, so perhaps I am bringing my share of prejudice to this...
I suppose I would prefer to hear an dissenting opinion in this mix. Oh well, it really isn't a big deal is it?

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance’
February 20, 2012 3:20 pm Like War Zone, this will be a misinterpreted and under-appreciated film. A demonized piece of pop-art cinema. A punchline at the end of jokes from people who have barely watched the movie. Prejudice will abound. Fortunately, it won't stop me from having a big huge pile of fun while watching it. :)
