day is about to come when Mephistopheles' son Blackheart escapes with four demons to find the legendary Contract of San Venganza,
now as Ghost Rider he's the only one who can stop Blackheart and his demonic goons.
ZEDD'S OPINION:
What I can see they stay fateful to the comic, the effects are incredible, the cast does a great job. The story works and
it's pretty cool. I could have done without that whole good cop bad cop thing. 9 STARS
VOLTRON'S OPINION:
I agree with Zedd, this is a near perfect adaptation, unlike some of the other Marvel movies in the past this has no serious
re-writes and I'm loving it. It's intense without losing the fun factor. 9 STARS as well.
ON THE POSITIVE SIDE (+ HITS):
+ EFFECTS (Amazing effects.)
+ STORY (The story is cool.)
+ CAST (The cast does a great job.)
+ INTENSE ACTION (Plenty of intense action and drama.)
+ FUN (And kept it fun.)
ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE (- MISSES):
- GOOD COP/BAD COP (I could have done without the whole good cop/bad cop scene.)
...AND FINALLY...
- FAN BASED (If you aren't into comic book movies or demon movies, this isn't the movie for you.)
