In what seems like desperation Sony releases some clips that Movies Online Was nice enough to show us.
We just got 9 new clips for Ghost Rider courtesy of SONY. The film comes to cinemas February 16th, 2007. Johnny Blaze has a dark secret – he is the Ghost Rider – who can grab you and force you to re-live tenfold all the sins you have perpetuated in your life… if there are too many sins, you’ll burn up and incinerate. In order to save his dying father, young stunt cyclist Johnny Blaze sells his soul to Mephistopheles and sadly parts from the pure-hearted Roxanne Simpson, the love of his life.
Now a popular theme we repeat often here at TMB is that if a studio puts out a movie, but doesn’t allow for advanced screenings for the press, it means the movie is going to suck. Now in some cities, Sony has offered some screenings that are strategically too late on Thursday so their reviews wont make the paper on Friday. We have yet to encounter an exception to this rule, so we take this as a pretty solid sign that this movie wont be all that great.
So from all these clips, the movie looks mediocre at best, and I would presume that these are the BEST scenes Sony could offer up for publicity, without giving away any of the real meat.
Check out the clip called “Could say no” to see Eva Mendez do a REALLY sexy strut and cop some heavy attitude at Cage. This is the ONLY part of this movie that has any draw to me. Ok, that and I am a big Cage fan, but he hasn’t really come through for me lately.
