Ghost Rider
« on: February 19, 2007, 06:40:55 PM »
Went and saw Ghost Rider tonight.  Not quite what I expected but it did keep me entertained.  Although my ass got numb half way through, and I was pretty much craving a cigarette well before he even became Ghost Rider.  If I had to grade this movie, I'd give it somewhere between a B and a C+.  The CGI was decent, some scenes were awesome.  The overall storyline was half decent.  The acting was well...the acting kinda sucked actually now that I think about it.  So yeah that's my two nuyen worth...anybody else seen it yet?

Ruski and my buddy Noah saw it on Saturday, but I didn't hear a yea or nea from them.

My buddy who still runs a theater said that he really liked it, but that he wasn't much of a Ghostrider fan, so he wasn't sure if they screwed anything really big up.

I saw it Saturday and I have to say I thouht it was pretty good. Nicholas Cage is a crappy actor, and that was true-to-form in this movie as with the others, but I liked the movie none the less. As far as the storyline went, yeah they screwed it up, but not nearly as much as they did with X-Men 3 or all of the Blades. Instead of a demon trapped in the body of a human and only being able to manifest to take vengance, they made him the "Devil's bounty hunter" who had the ability to "seer people's souls". He was still bad-ass, but in a slightly more audiance (religous moron) kind of way. It was a fair origin story.

Overall  :bob: :bob: 3/4

SPOILER WARNING...SPOILER WARNING...SPOILER WARNING...







I thought the old man was a way cooler Ghost Rider then Nicholas Cage.

Well Sam Elliot is just a hard-bitten cowboy type anyway. He always has been. I'd have loved to have seen a movie with the old west ghost rider as the main character and Sam Elliot playing him.

Free Spirit. Most anything "Hollywood" could be done with a free spirit. However, you need to lay it out in SR stats and motives. A Marvel superhero isn't exactly the best thing to have in Shadowrun. Of course, the horse and the rider would be the same spirit. I would recommend powers like Movement, Fear, Flame Aura, things like that.

No I was talking about the shotty...especially when it transformed and shot some giant fireball looking thing...or would that be like the Big D's Temper rounds?

Not if he's a spirit. It would simply be a manifestation of the spirit's abilities like Fireball. ALthough for that, the spirit would need the Sorcery Power.

So true...it kinda reminded me of the BFG from DOOM...do they have something like that in Shadowrun?  The closest thing I can think of would be a Panther Assault Cannon.

See, I knew that wouldn't kill the guy. I even looked at my girlfriend and said, "See, the guy has 1,000 souls now. He's toast."
