Just bought a used copy of the 2-Disc Extended Cut today at a Hollywood Video stand at the mall.

Nah, it wasn't the worst superhero film and neither was Fantastic Four. Batman Forever and Batman & Robin were the two worst superhero films despite that I did like Batman, Batman Forever and Batman Begins.

This is the worst super hero movie since Fantastic Four. I definately won't be buying(despite the nice 2 disc art)

You obviously haven't seen the director's cut. But even the theatrical cut of Daredevil is better than Ghost Rider. Ghost Rider isn't much of a film, the only thing worth watching are the visual effects, but they aren't that good to begin with.

theres something wrong with the extended cut, ghost riders face looks really fake

Anyone who thinks the regular disc art is better than the CE artwork has to be a blind retard.

Is it Snowing on the extended cover?

Okay they messed it up before fixing it then...'

The 2-Discer Artwork Rocks!!

Now This is what Warner should learn after messed up 'The Painted Veil' and 'The Fountain' lately '

Nice artwork on the 2 disc EC. I'll definitely be buying it.

Badass art for the 2 disc, worth the purchase alone!

I love both covers but I like the CE more, looks cool

I don't see why people are raving about the cover for the 2-disc Extended Cut, it looks very plain to me. The one-disc cover art almost copies the one-sheet artwork, and it looks a lot better than the EC cover.

I Hate the 2 disk set artwork i hope they change it.But i'll buy it anways i liked the movie

That extended cut artwork is fantastic! I'm definately getting that edition.

Cover somehow makes me think of the horrible Crow: Wicked Prayer.

Nothing like a bit of arrogance, eh?

Nice coverart, I hope the 2-Disc is at least as good.

Nice cover art.Not great but good fun movie.

Not a bad cover...

...just waitin' for the 2 disc art now.  Bet it's better.

Artwork is not so great on the single disc. Hope the 2 disc will look a little better. I thought the movie was pretty decent, I may consider picking up the 2 disc.

Then explain "The Matrix" sequels. They both made over 100 million and they were horrendous.

I just got back from seeing the movie myself, and it surpassed ALL of my expectations . . . every single one of 'em!  For once, Nicolas Cage seemed to put some real energy into a performance (and I'm not a Nic Cage basher, I loved "The Weather Man" thoroughly), and he seemed to be having a blast playing an apparent comic book hero for him.  Eva Mendes did surprisingly well, as I'd heard nothing but bad press about her in this.  The villain Blackheart was a bit of a prissy boy, but I think it actually sort of worked for the character, even though it made him lack proper menace.  And Sam Elliot is God, so I don't have to say anything about his role.  Peter Fonda was Peter Fonda, and it was great seeing him in such a spicy role.

The main flaw(s) of the movie, aside from the lack of a really strong villain, is that it seems a tad underdeveloped; by that, I mean that this movie actually DOES need a sequel, so we can see what Ghost Rider is really capable of!  With the director's "Daredevil," I felt it stood on its own and didn't require any further entries.  But Ghost Rider certainly does, in my opinion.

I can't wait for all these superhero extended editions!  "Spider-Man 2" (an acknowledged superhero classic), "Fantastic Four" (woefully underrated), and now "Ghost Rider!"  If this extended cut is every bit as satisfying as the director's cut of "Daredevil," it's gonna be a-w-e-s-o-m-e.

Extended Edition for me also

I liked this film and can't wait for the extended cut.

Hah!  That's HILARIOUS!!!!!

And right, let me guess, no good movie has ever been a financial flop, right?

Yeah, I thought it was decent; certainly not bad enough that it wasn't even screened for critics.

Based on the trailer this looks so dull, average and seen it all before. Only Mendez perked my interest and not even she is enough for me to bother. This is made by the same person who gave us Daredevil, enough said. That was rubbish!

Or Superman Returns

O.K. film overall. Gets cheesy in some parts, but, overall a lot better than "Hulk", "The Fantastic 4" & "Daredevil" & falls just shy of being on par with "Hellboy".

My strong advice RENT before you BUY. Especially if you're into the blu-ray & HD-DVD discs.

I will pick it up.

I am a sucker for extended cuts and have enjoyed MOST of the Marvel Comics movies.  Only one that was horrible to me was Fanatastic 4.  Great cast, bad director, weak script, and poor execution.  I do hope the 2nd is better, but I won't hold my breath and will wait for DVD on that one too.

The Daredevil Director's Cut is simply a joy.  It's amazing how much that movie stands out from the sheer mediocrity of the theatrical cut.  It almost rivals X2 and Spider-Man 1 & 2 in my book...

I'm going to pick up the 2 disc edition, this movie was fun to watch. I thought Mendes was awful, Cage was pretty good and Elliott was great. The movies was a mixed bag overall, some parts really good while other parts were pretty awful, still enjoyed it.

I liked all 3 Matrix movies, don't get the hate for them

"Daredevil" sucked too. Ben Affleck has about as much charisma as Steven Seagal.

This movie was terrible, I thought Nic Cage couldn't get any worse after the Wickerman remake but then this movie came along. I might give the extended edition a chance because it could turn out like the Daredevil EE and be a really good movie.

Far from brilliant maybe but a fun 100 minutes nevertheless. The cgi was fairly decent and there were some nice camera shots
(the introduction of Blackheart in the desert was nicely eerie). Nic Cage was actually quite good in my opinion, as was
Peter Fonda (in a much too small part), Eva Mendes and Donal Logue were both good as well. I mean Ghost Rider is a bit of a
2nd tier marvel property anyway (although I always enjoyed the book when I was a kid)- I went into this thinking "ok how bad is this going to be?" and was nicely surprised by the film.
 Although I did snicker a bit when it opened with Sam Elliot's narration which was so much like a dark version of "the big lebowski" opening (kept waiting for him to mention "the dude".

Better than Fantastic 4 (God, I hope the sequel is better than that s**te-fest was) and better than daredevil (this one actually has a plot and no embarrassingly bad "let's wire-fu with the blind guy I just met in a playground!"moments).

c**p movie,,it did well cause there was nothing else for it compete against. the timing of the release was perfect.teens have very little interest in oscar nominated movies.

I liked "DareDevil" but "GhostRider" looks so goofy.

Loved this movie, can't wait to see the extended cut.

I thought it was okay -- really awful in spots (particularly when Wes Bentley is on the scene and trying to emulate Stephen Dorff's character in "Blade" ) but then really cool in spots, such as the relationship between Cage and Mendes. The scenes that didn't involve Cage turning into the skeleton were most interesting. I would say it is a disappointment and did deserve some of the criticism leveled at it. It did have a great surround track -- maybe the DVD will have DTS?

BTW, if you haven't seen it yet, I recommend a rental first. You'd be fussing at Sony if you did blind-buy this movie.

I won't pick it up... maybe a used copy for $5.

I said it was a flop dramatically in the comments section - am I not allowed to have an opinion on a film? I thought it was rubbish - and I love Nicolas Cage films usually, as I'm sure other staff members will testify!

meh, it was okay.  The flaming skull looked awesome, but the acting story sucked.  if there is a sequal definately no Nic cage and different director

Well, a film can be a creative flop I suppose, but the term usually refers to financial success these days.

nothing special but i will pick up the standard DVD. im not interested in a extended cut, i thought the film was long enough as is.

Missed this, but was gonna wait for DVD anyway.  I think it's great that they are releasing the theatrical and extended cuts on the same day.  

Way to go Sony!!  Now gimme my extended cut of Underworld: Evolution, dagnabbit!

It was a flop dramatically then There ya go, I've changed it. Heh
