Has anyone seen this yet? Is it worth watching in the theater or a watch at home?

I think the commercials have made it incredibly clear that this is worth renting, not more.

Is it worth watching at all? I found the trailers rather ridiculous.

For curiosity's sake for me. I don't know Ghost Rider.

I did hear the action sequences were the opposite of riveting though.

Funny part is Cage actually looks better with his head on fire.

Its worth downloading. I mean, if you fast forward through about half of the film, it turns into a randomly entertaining 45 minutes.

I'm anxious for 300, Blades of Glory and The Number 23 (and the Simpsons, if it is Rated R)

Totally. Watched it for he second time last evening. Very very good. Simon Pegg is great, and Edgar does such a good directing job. They are a great film making duo.

Eh, it was OK. Pretty much a textbook superhero movie, only with demons rather than genetically altered mutants or whatever.

The theater here does what they call "Tightwad Tuesday", where you can see a non-new release movie for $3. I think I may go check it out for the hell of it.

Just bad.

This movie was painful.
Possibly the worst movie I have ever sat through.

I wouldn't even bother torrenting it.

If Ghost Rider is anything like The Wicker Man, it is not worth watching at all.

Watch out for the Number 23 - it's currently the worst reviewed movie of the year at Rotten Tomatoes (8%, just behind Norbit at 9%).

All glory to the hypnotoad.

I absolutely loved Pan's Labyrinth. I plan on purchasing it when it comes out. Otherwise, I'm also anticipating 300.

Finally got around to seeing it. It was meh. The effects were pretty cool though. I think that instead of Nick Cage, they should have casted Bruce Campbell.

does a ~5 month period call for the term "zombification?" hmm...


anyway, looking in retrospect, flyordiedays had it right--Pan's Labyrinth and 300 were amazing. Ghost Rider was okay...

Pan's and 300 were great. I have Pan's and will be getting 300 soon.

I was gonna defend The Wicker Man, but I just realized you mean the Hollywood remake. You may continue bashing that monstrosity. There are some movie that should never be remade. They're perfect how they are.
