Nicolas Cage is one of those actors who rarely dials in a performance. Whatever role you give him, no matter whether it's underwritten or balls-off-the-wall wild, he's almost always in there giving 200 percent!
These movies are so sick. Early 2000’s - 2010’s marvel movies hold a special place in my heart. Hoping the mcu does something as rad as this with Ghost Rider
I love this movie for the fact that it touches on the deeper lore of the powers of Ghost Rider by telling the origin of Zarathos. Also bringing to light the Johnny was at war with the Rider for control at times as he did in the comic, really REALLY hope Ghost Rider comes back in either a stand alone series or possibly a midnight sons series or movie. He is too much of an intriguing character to leave out the MCU
@@jatnebuir6006 "Currently" ? Agents of Shield ended 3 years ago and he hasn't been in it since 2017, they were going to bring him into the MCU with the same actor on a spin-off show on Hulu, then it got cancelled during pre-production when they shifted focus onto the Disney+ stuff only. Also, AoS is anything but awful, especially the Ghost Rider season.
@@NoName1462 Yeah I have no idea what point they are trying to make. AOS is one of the best super hero shows besides maybe the first half of the first season and Season 4 is definitely one of the best seasons of television I have seen especially the Ghost Rider stuff.
In the last movie he gave up being with the love of his life so that he could be the Ghost Rider and in this movie he wants nothing more than to be rid of his powers. Consistency!
I will always be a defender for Spirit of Vengeance not as a movie entirely but more so the structure of what they tried to do. From design to lore to visuals, almost all of those things was better than the first. I hope they do a similar design for the inevitable MCU reboot. Also I remember seeing this in 3D when it came out in 2011 and it was definitely an experience.
@@aaditkhan728 there’s an argument to be had about this story.. the execution and direction was messy but as a concept, I’d chose that over the first. It’s the redemption, retribution and rebirth for me.
I'll defend this movie to it wasn't great but wasn't horrible either when I first saw ghost rider I told myself what is this fire element he's trying to control now I know it's an angel that lost its way cause of the devil I thought it was cool that Johnny gave up the curse and with that the limitations of only going ghost rider at night than the kid who had no clue about what the deal was original gave him the ghost rider back without limits
I remember Nicolas Cage talking about the inspiration for those jittery, erratic head movements: a praying mantis. That obscure take on method acting shows what he's truly made of as a performer. Always keeping an open mind and never ruling out even the most ridiculous opportunity of adding novelty and entertainment value to his craft.
This movie is so metal. Amazing visuals, cinematography, stunts, and effects. The look of Ghost Rider is badass! And Nic Cage is always a win. Crank and Crank: High Voltage are awesome as well. These directors are great!
The tragedy is, if Sony had gotten this movie a better less generic script and allowed Neveldine/Taylor to go for an R rating, Nicolas Cage may have been the guy who saved his failing career with an R-rated non-MCU superhero flick instead of Ryan Reynolds. Still, I think Cage has been doing legitimately great work lately, UNBEARABLE WEIGHT was a blast. I hope if he ever does return to the MCU as Ghost Rider or whoever, Disney won't be so afraid of that damn R rating. As for Sony... *looks at MORBIUS...* no further comment.
Even though this movie isn't good, the Ghost Rider design in this film was actually awesome looking. The chared skull,the bubbling tar leather jacket and the way the flames looked. Just a shame they couldn't make this film work.
Idris in the third act is by far my favorite part. I just love him going in wine and guns out, and his headbutt before his death was baller. “I can still see the light.”
While they radically improved the look and the special FX on the Ghost Rider, they kind of blew it with the whole Danny Ketch thing. In the comics, Danny became the "new" GR when they tried to relaunch the character. Made him bigger, made the bike cooler and gave him an updated origin with a new rogues gallery. I have no idea what the plan was for any of the characters in this film, and the pissing flames scene was pure hilarity.
The Danny Ketch GR run is my favorite of the entire GR legacy. The artwork was awesome and he was part of the Midnight Sons as well. I would love to see that story done properly in live action one day.
I think we need to do Johnny Blaze first in the MCU. I know we had Robbie on Agents of Shield but that show is kinda iffy in terms of if it’s canon and Johnny Blaze is very much the most popular Ghost Rider like how Barry Allen is the most popular Flash. The great thing about Flash and Ghost Rider is that there are more than one good version of the character as opposed to Iron Man or Batman where Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne are clearly the only versions that work long term. There like 3 people who have expressed interest in playing Ghost Rider. Keanu Reeves, Norman Reedus and Ryan Gosling all expressed interest in playing Ghost Rider and I think all of them would be fantastic although I gotta say that Norman Reedus feels the most like Johnny Blaze from voice to look.
What I liked is they had Johnny pretty much wearing the outfit Danny had in the 90s in the first film complete with the spikes and all. Johnnys outfit in the comics was quite different.
The directors are also behind the work of Crank films that starred Jason Statham! Plus the stunt where Endris Elba’s character flew off the bike, they did it for real!
This wasn't as good as the first one but it was...okay. The VFX is great and Idris Elba was a delightful addition. The chase cams were great, the comedy is there and the gothic aspect fit well. I hope the MCU brings in similar stuff like this. Very metal, Very Sam Raimi Evil Dead-ish.
See most people say it's worse, but to me both movies have bad acting & decent story, so the action & Nick Cage being much crazier in this made me like it way more.
Hell yes, I'm super early for this one. I've wanted you to watch and react to this movie for so long. Ghost Rider is one of the most badass characters in all of Marvel comics. This movie being a really good demonstration of that.
I really love this film. Him going crazy shows hes been fighting the rider for years now. If you had a demonic entity inside you, you would get a little unhinged as well. For me when johnny is interrogating that dude and going batshit insane, this is him trying to, with all his power hold back the rider and it must hurt. I prefer the second one over the first even though i really love the first one. It may be that i saw both as a kid and rewatched them a lot while growing up but having recently rewatched both of them, in my perspective they hold up really well in regard to what they set out to do. Furthermore, i agree that the second one wouldve have done better as r18+.
The movie may not be great but the design of ghost rider in this movie is absolutely perfect and the cinematography is cool and visuals are gnarly and any movie with Nicolas Cage is a win for me
This Ghost Rider was mostly based on the 90's reboot comic. The young kid is suppose to be Danny Ketsch, the new Ghost Rider from the comics as well as introducing Blackout, the main villain.
Fun Fact: This movie was co-produced by Marvel Studios under the Marvel Knights banner. So Marvel and Sony worked together before they made their Spider-Man deal. Bonus Fact: Punisher: War Zone also was co-produced by Marvel Studios under the Marvel Knights banner.
Idk what people generally say about either movies but I've always liked both of them. I think this one was definitely a step up. If in nothing else definitely the esthetics. I also completely agree about a blend of the 1st and 2nd one would be dope.
21:57 no this is the actual origin, zarathos is the spirit that possesses a human and makes them a ghost rider and the funny part is he doesn't have his full power when he's a ghost rider, zarathos is like the strongest character in marvel, like he's so strong he killed Galactus by looking at him😂
There’s a theory that says this movie takes place in an alternate universe, separately from the first movie. Norman Reedus is the favorite fan cast as MCU Ghost Rider, I totally see him.
This movie certainly has its merits. Favorite thing is probably how the Rider is depicted. Feels like one of those cheeky horror villains of the past like Krueger and Wishmaster. A lot of personality and chaos.
they didn't get rid of the penance stare in this movie they just don't show you from the villains perspective they just show ghost rider staring at them

The answer your question from 22:02, they weren't redoing the origin......that IS the origin story of Ghost Rider. His lore is so amazing I highly suggest you watch Variant Comics videos about him as well as Comics Explained about his powers. You will fall in love with Ghost Rider more
So the scene where he is interrogating the guy at the warehouse is a perfect example of what Johnny blaze has to constantly deal with the rider entity is always inside of him and he always has to hold them back in that instance it was harder because there was a wicked person in front of him
There is a clip of Nick Cage without the flaming skull cgi with just the 3d mapping dots, if you wanna see just how good Cage really is an an actor, watch that. It's bloody terrifying.
44:05 Thank You for correcting her! It felt weird when she said "early 2000s" like when the movie was supposed to be made. Anyway, wish these directors, Taylor / Neveldine, would have continued their career till know with theatrical releases, but "unfortunately" box office and critical reception are important for a career in that business. They really stand out though with their style of directing between all the other mainstream movies, even Michael Bay movies. I'm anxious to recommend the Taylor / Neveldine movie "Gamer (2009)" because it probably doesn't generate enough views for you (= it is not relevant in any capacity) but I wanna mention it here because there's always a chance I think
One really cool thing we get with this movie that we don't get with modern super hero movie is the moments from the point of view of someone on the outside looking in. In this movie when we see ghost rider for the first time we are following Idris Elba seeing him for the first time. And we don't even see him. It's a moment where he isn't even visible he's a horror story of a first trail growing across the distant hill.
The amount of chaos and campy in this movie makes it feel like Sam Raimi on coke. Even though it's not a great movie, the design for the Ghost Rider and some of the action sequences were awesome
Reel Rejects going back and watching all the classic Marvel movies is so fun. They've done the Blade trilogy, the Ghost Riders, the Fantastic Fours, Punisher, and Daredevil (like a year ago). Now they need to do Hulk and Elektra (because they skipped that for some reason).
11:23- JERRY, JERRY, JERRY, JERRY!!!!! RIP JERRY SPRINGER, the man who ended each episode of his that spanned 20+ years in the FINAL THOUGHT segment, "Take care of yourselves and each other."
i dont understand why some people even hate this movie. Had the most badass ghost rider ever and the only criticism is that there was less ghost rider screen time. but cage did a brilliant job.
My first experience of a 3D movie at the cinema, we went with a friend and I had broken glasses, they showed everything in green, and since we were shy to exchange for normal glasses, we watched the film changing working pair every 10 minutes, in short, not the best experience
Thing is Nicolas Cage said after Spirit of Vengeance that he was done with being Ghost Rider, yet honestly Ghost Rider is honestly the perfect role for Nicolas Cage, an unhinged Marvel hero. Honestly both movies were good and didn’t deserve all of the negative reviews it got. Maybe they thought since the fans know what the Penance Stare is they didn’t have to show Ghost Rider making people feel their pain, just yelling in their face
fun fact Greg, Idres Alba's character was designed after Heimdall because they weren't sure if they were going to tie this to the MCU, in the end it didn't make sense with Heimdall dying on earth and where the movie took place so they opted for Robbie Reyes in agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. It was a cool idea though with him seeing the light because of the soul stone.
Seriously love this film I know it ain’t great but I remember getting the Blu-ray as it released 😂 I’m glad you’ve reacted to this thank you very much 😂
He actually does do the penance stare in this movie, they just decided to rid with the lines he said and the visual of their soul being stained in this one for some reason. Those moments where he’s just staring in their eyes and they’re screaming so when he does the penance stare.
I didn't like Ghost Rider 2 when I first saw it as it was very different than the 1st movie so that kinda through me off but over time I grew to love it, it's a kickass high octane gorilla style comic book action movie and a pretty good sequel I like that they went a little crazy with this one cause why the hell not plus nic cage gets to go all out and you got the guys who made crank
BAGGER 288!!!!! the giant machine that Ghost Rider engulfed in flames is one of the biggest industrial machines in the world. It’s so awesome someone made a song about it.
I love this version of the Ghost Rider more than the first movie because this version acts more like what he actually is: a demon/archangel that is also a fire elemental - it doesn't act natural because it's not of this world/plane Edit: If you pay attention to Carrigan's Decay power, you'll notice that it's only really affective against organic material. The people, the bread and apple, even the sword. But the plastic covering the Twinkie wrapper was made and it's unnatural. If he really tried and focused, he probably could've decayed that too, which is why the stretcher wraps on Danny were slightly decayed, the submachine gun was decayed, but not the rest of Moro's body immediately, and when he put pressure on the windshield of the jeep, it began to crack, but it didn't shatter from his pressing his finger on it.
What I think is a real shame is that the directors never really got to do anything after this. Their innovative style with the fantastic Crank films and Gamer with Gerald Butler got them this gig. And simply, because box office wise, Spirit of Vengeance didn't do well at all, they were kind of left behind by hollywood. I know one of the them has a child with former actress Alison Lohman, who ironically burst onto the scene with her superb performance alongside Nic Cage and Sam Rockwell in Ridley Scott's Matchstick Men. But still their craziness from Crank is all over this.
@@SebTheGreat84 they are fun. Let me guess you consider a trash film with a trash actor like Adrien Brody and Pianist a good film. Personally, I will never forgive Brody for an Oscar he never deserved. And especially against Dan Day Lewis' worthy winning Role as Bill the Butcher in Gangs of New York
@@jameshaslegrave7989 I don't care one way or the other about the Pianist. Are you going to try and claim the trash directors of Gamer, Crank, and Ghost Rider can compare with Roman Polanski?
Fun fact: in the comics, Danny Ketch (the kid) is the second Ghost Rider! I'm pretty sure his comics origin has nothing in common with this film though

I prefer this version of ghost rider, he's so scary in this one and i absolutely likes the way he speaks, it's just this spooky whispers
I think Ghost Rider’s design is the only thing I loved about this one
Nahhh they really upgraded the cgi of ghost rider in this film he was more creepy too😂
The best Ghost has ever looked.
i liked his personality too, he dont give a shit and just want chaos
@@KillerGrim47 what about that badass soundtrack?!
I don't know why I love this movie more than 1st one ❤
A ghost rider animated movie would work so much better than a live action one.
Nic Cage truly brought the demonic psycho nature of the rider...
I love the idea that the angel was brought down and showed the horrors of man better then being brought down by hell and just turning bad
Nic is the perfect definition of Being High and i love it
The editing in this movie is insane Its amazing
I remember watching this in theaters and when Nic drinks the wine and says "might be good on a salad" I lost it lolol
I loved this one more than the first.🔥
i dont understand why some people even hate this movie. Had the most badass ghost rider ever and the only criticism is that there was less ghost rider screen time. but cage did a brilliant job.
My first experience of a 3D movie at the cinema, we went with a friend and I had broken glasses, they showed everything in green, and since we were shy to exchange for normal glasses, we watched the film changing working pair every 10 minutes, in short, not the best experience
His mind became so twisted and demented..itbtook effect on,his soul and that was cool as hell😂😂l
Ghost Rider is cool. Seems like you all had a fun together
When he said "This Ghost's gotta ride" the entire theatre just went crazy
"It's Ghost Riding time"
Thing is Nicolas Cage said after Spirit of Vengeance that he was done with being Ghost Rider, yet honestly Ghost Rider is honestly the perfect role for Nicolas Cage, an unhinged Marvel hero.
Honestly both movies were good and didn’t deserve all of the negative reviews it got. Maybe they thought since the fans know what the Penance Stare is they didn’t have to show Ghost Rider making people feel their pain, just yelling in their face
fun fact Greg, Idres Alba's character was designed after Heimdall because they weren't sure if they were going to tie this to the MCU, in the end it didn't make sense with Heimdall dying on earth and where the movie took place so they opted for Robbie Reyes in agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. It was a cool idea though with him seeing the light because of the soul stone.
Every time they play that sound before the ghost rider comes I feel like I am about to see a dinosaur in the jurassic park/world movies.
"Where's Roxxane?"
Where he had to run again, so she was left waiting again. LMAO
I swear I'm a psychic I watched this movie the other day and thought about a real rejects reaction video of this movie.
ghost rider 2 was such a good movie now that im rewatching it, don't know why people don't like it
Think this one is leagues above the first one - love how Ghost Rider is realised in this one. Great Early Idris Elba role too.
The actor who plays Mephisto is Steppenwolf in Justice League
Seriously love this film I know it ain’t great but I remember getting the Blu-ray as it released 😂 I’m glad you’ve reacted to this thank you very much 😂
The art visuals when Johnny is telling his story reminds me of the infamous games.
“There was a bee, I thought it was gonna sting your face”
He actually does do the penance stare in this movie, they just decided to rid with the lines he said and the visual of their soul being stained in this one for some reason. Those moments where he’s just staring in their eyes and they’re screaming so when he does the penance stare.
Great Reaction Greg and Tara! This movie is so crazy 👍
I didn't like Ghost Rider 2 when I first saw it as it was very different than the 1st movie so that kinda through me off but over time I grew to love it, it's a kickass high octane gorilla style comic book action movie and a pretty good sequel I like that they went a little crazy with this one cause why the hell not plus nic cage gets to go all out and you got the guys who made crank
Rhe vfx and the camera work and visuals are phenomenal 👌
The spirit of the Ghost Rider was an angel. This is more closer to the comics then the last movie.
the mumbling in the beginning never gets old lol
(At 19:15) This is supposed to be Blackout. Wasn't he supposed to some kind of a vampire?
This movie is very goofy but in a way I enjoy. Also they make the rider feel like a psychopath and very unsettling too.
BAGGER 288!!!!! the giant machine that Ghost Rider engulfed in flames is one of the biggest industrial machines in the world. It’s so awesome someone made a song about it.
Dya know how wild that position looks with her hands there combined with that scene? If you know you know 😂😂
28:32
15:05 That is a Javelin missile launcher and missile. They really launch like that and are in fact computer guided. You’re correct.
7:55 i think its more of zarathos finally unleashing his insanity. He is afterall a demon filled with madness
I love this version of the Ghost Rider more than the first movie because this version acts more like what he actually is: a demon/archangel that is also a fire elemental - it doesn't act natural because it's not of this world/plane
Edit: If you pay attention to Carrigan's Decay power, you'll notice that it's only really affective against organic material. The people, the bread and apple, even the sword. But the plastic covering the Twinkie wrapper was made and it's unnatural. If he really tried and focused, he probably could've decayed that too, which is why the stretcher wraps on Danny were slightly decayed, the submachine gun was decayed, but not the rest of Moro's body immediately, and when he put pressure on the windshield of the jeep, it began to crack, but it didn't shatter from his pressing his finger on it.
Satan's weedwacker @16:21
90s kid here. Remember the first one. NEVER knew about this one lol
I deeply forgot how entertaining this movie was ~
What I think is a real shame is that the directors never really got to do anything after this. Their innovative style with the fantastic Crank films and Gamer with Gerald Butler got them this gig. And simply, because box office wise, Spirit of Vengeance didn't do well at all, they were kind of left behind by hollywood. I know one of the them has a child with former actress Alison Lohman, who ironically burst onto the scene with her superb performance alongside Nic Cage and Sam Rockwell in Ridley Scott's Matchstick Men. But still their craziness from Crank is all over this.
Lets pump the brakes, in no universe are the Crank films "Great".
@@SebTheGreat84 they are fun. Let me guess you consider a trash film with a trash actor like Adrien Brody and Pianist a good film. Personally, I will never forgive Brody for an Oscar he never deserved. And especially against Dan Day Lewis' worthy winning Role as Bill the Butcher in Gangs of New York
@@jameshaslegrave7989 I don't care one way or the other about the Pianist. Are you going to try and claim the trash directors of Gamer, Crank, and Ghost Rider can compare with Roman Polanski?
I love the new details in this movie, now the skull looks burnt and the leather jacket is like boiling for the heat as well as the pants
(At 2:15) Surely you're not talking about Luther
Fun fact: in the comics, Danny Ketch (the kid) is the second Ghost Rider! I'm pretty sure his comics origin has nothing in common with this film though

We all know which scene boys. We all know which scene.
