There’s a new Ghost Rider trailer making it’s way around the web this morning. Ok, just in case you don’t know what Ghost Rider is, here’s a quick rundown:
A stunt motorcyclist (Cage) sells his soul to the devil to save his dying father’s life. As a result, he becomes the flame-skulled, fiery-motorcycle-riding combatant of evil known as Ghost Rider.
There have been a LOT of people (including me) that have been trashing on this flick, and the first little trailer that came out a while ago didn’t help much. The pictures online haven’t helped much… hell… NOTHING has helped much. It honestly looks like this flick is heading for disaster.
But hold on just a second… let me at least give a little credit where credit is due. This new Ghost Rider trailer really isn’t all that bad… at least story wise. You can NEVER go wrong with Sam Elliot in your movie, Nicolas Cage doesn’t look nearly as out of place as he did in the last trailer, and the villains actually look pretty interesting. But it’s not all smiles and giggles either…
The CGI on Ghost Rider himself still look just HORRIBLE. Granted, it must be nearly impossible to make a flaming skull head look decent… but if you accepted the challenge to do it, then you’ve got to deliver… and so far from what I’ve seen, the VFX on Ghost Rider are NOT delivering. Maybe it’ll get better… but those looked like finished shots to me, so don’t hold your breath.
