How many of you saw the first Ghost Rider movie?  How many of you liked it?  I haven't been able to bring myself to watching it yet.  I've wanted to but it's been hard.  Something about the movie kept telling me I should avoid it.  I feel bad about that.  I like Nic Cage but just didn't see him as Johnny Blaze.  We all know that he's a big comic fan.  He named his son Kal-El.  He was even up for Superman before.  And, of course, he's going to be in "Kick-Ass" as well.

Colombia apparently has finally decided to start revving up the production on a sequel.  It's hard to believe the first came out almost exactly two years ago.  This news comes from Bloody Disgusting.  I haven't heard any "official" word but who would want to make this up?  They're also reporting that Ghost Rider will be going against Blackheart this time.  Cage is set to become Ghost Rider once again aw well.  I know I should get around to watching the first.  I promise I will before this one comes out.

What do you think?  Are you looking forward to a sequel?

The first wasn't all that great I'm hoping they work otu allot of problems they had witht he film. It seemed to me more like what Ultimate does to change a character than making a movie aboutb GR but I do like GR so hopefully it will turn out better but I wanted to see a new foe other than Blackheart

Im amazed they'd consider making another one.  I watched the 1st ten minutes of Ghost Rider and then turned it off :(

im a big GR fan but the movie was not up 2 it, i think they need 2 make it a bit less kid friendly 2 make it work and i want them 2 explore his powers more stuff like hell fire blasts and stuff also i would  like 2 see Dan Ketch 1 day but just what i think.

Somewhere, someone just died as a direct result of this news.

The first Ghost Rider was one of the worst movies I have ever seen (and I've seen a LOT of movies). I'm don't agree with reboots too much, but it's too early (and the first was too bad) for a sequel. Wait six, eight more years or so and then do a reboot and hope everyone forgot about the first.

Hell Yes  !  I could go for it... and screw the fact that the first Ghost Rider movie wasnt that good... I recall the 2003 Hulk movie to sort of sucking too... but look how they made a comeback with The Incredible Hulk in 2008... Marvel Studios has been on a roll lately with Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk... hell even The Punsher - War Zone was a good movie ( it sure as hell was better than Transporter 3... lol )... so I expect good things from the Ghost Rider 2 film

The movie wasn't that great, but it also wasn't really bad.  Nic Cage is annoying, and I wish they'd have used a different actor for Johnny Blaze.  The redeeming bits of the movie were the FX and the usage of villains from the comic series, and also Sam Elliot is in it.  If you like Sam Elliot, then at least watch it for him.  Again,  GR was better than the first Hulk and Daredevil movies.  Maybe they will do a better job on the second one.  MAYBE.

Great news! No way will the 2nd GR movie be worse than the 1st

I didn't like the idea of Nicolas Cage as Ghost Rider but I actually loved the first movie, of course I watched it as a movie, not as a "Ghost Rider" movie because I don't like Ghost Rider the character, solves my problems :D

The theatrical version of the first was terrible... the DVD version with the cut scenes was actually half decent though.  When you do get around to watching it, make sure you watch the DVD version.

Regardless, I will be looking forward to the second film, the special effects in the first were pretty rad, so I'd see the second just for that if nothing else.

What he said.

I'll go see a superhero movie, but once you make a bad superhero movie, I don't see the sequels.  I didn't see FF2.  I won't be seeing any further X-Men movies and I sure as hell am not gonna see the sequel to the worst of them all: Ghost Rider.  I love the character too much to see Nicholas Cage rip all that is good about him to shreds.

im a massive Ghost Rider fan but im still note sure about Nick Cage as Johnny Blaze, but the way marvel been making their films lately has been very good especially the hulk film which was also a re-vamp and sequel so i think it would be good, i would also like 2 see Danny ketch soon.

I hated it but it made a boatload of money. So Marvel being Marvel, of course they'll make another one even if it turns out to be another FF2 and kills the franchise. 
Here's hoping they get a better director this time around.

I liked the first one, I'd be up for seeing a second. Just as long as if they do have Blackheart in it again, they go the traditional way, the rating is R and they make his lines less cheesy.

I think in Ghost Rider they should either have vengeance or blackheart in his true form (muscular black body, quills on head etc.)

Coming from a Ghost Rider fan, the first one pretty much sucked... although it was enjoyable for what it was. I'd love a sequel though, and I hope they do a better job.
