Waiting for Director's Cut DVD

Rating: 6/10 (24 February 2007)

As with Daredevil and Elektra Johnson shows wonderful iconic imagery from the classic comics and leaves the story somewhat flat and choppy. Oh, but wait then comes the Directors Cut for the two above movies' which are so much more intense and the stories more solid. So is it the studio who actually sacrifices the story for more special effects?

This movie of Ghost Rider remains relatively true to the Original 1970's horror/hero comic story with some 1990's touches. From the moment the movie opened in the Old West with Sam Elliot's narration I knew it was going to follow the classic story; "hammy dialogue" included. Nearly all the classic images from the comic were found somewhere in the film. The best imagery (in my opinion) however, was Ghost Rider (Blaze) and Ghost Rider (Slade) A.K.A. Night Rider riding side by side with a thunderous instrumental rendition of "Ghost Riders in the Sky". The only *major* disappointment were the elementals... Hey, didn't we see these guys already in another film? (Elektra) The Ghost Rider movie leaves much to be desired in the theater but Like Daredevil and Elektra the Director's Cut DVD I'm sure will not disappoint.
