Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance One Sheet Movie Poster

Sony has released the first one sheet movie poster featuring a full image of Marvel’s Ghost Rider for its upcoming film Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. I’m still amazed this film got made and is a true sequel instead of a reboot. Does Nicolas Cage really have that much clout to get a second Ghost Rider film released, or is this one being self funded by the sale of his comic book collection? I’m willing to go out on a limb and say this film is going to be horrible (when was the last time Cage made a good film?), but I can’t stop looking at this poster. The new Ghost Rider looks so bad ass!  If only the movie turned out to be equally as cool.

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance Trailer & Teaser Movie Poster

Sony has made the film absolutely no one was asking for, a Ghost Rider sequel! Who in their right mind green lit this film? A reboot/relaunch I can understand, but a sequel starring Nic Cage? Horrible! Then again, I can also understand their blind desire to get a second Marvel Comics franchise off the ground. But wouldn’t they have been much better off with a soft reboot than an official sequel?

It’s not all negative though. The first official trailer for Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance is actually pretty good (well all except the last few seconds). I love Ghost Rider’s new look, and the action scenes look great. It’s just too bad they had bring back Cage as Johnny Blaze. And why in the hell is there a scene of Ghost Rider peeing fire? That’s just bizarre.
