Stars:Plot:
NICOLAS CAGE (Drive Angry, Season Of The Witch) stars as legendary action hero Johnny Blaze in one of the year's most thrilling, adrenaline-pumped films.

Struggling to live with his flame-headed alter ego The Ghost Rider, Blaze is offered the chance to rid himself of his curse forever - but to do so he must defeat The Devil in a terrifying battle for survival. Co-starring Idris Elba (Thor) and Ciaran Hinds (The Woman In Black) and featuring ground-breaking special effects, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance is one hell of a ride.

Extras:
  • Scene Access
  • Audio Commentary
  • Bonus Trailers
  • Deleted Scenes
  • Featurettes


My Thoughts:

A fairly entertaining film. I watched this in 2D as I don't have a 3D TV. Nicolas Cage reprises his dual role of Johnny Blaze / The Ghost Rider and for the most his anguished tortured faces and groans work. A bit more background is given to The Ghost Rider itself
(click to show/hide)
however I don't know if that is canon for the comic stories or whether it was just for this film. One biggish change between this film and the first is that the bike is no longer a chopper, although still special in The Ghost Rider's hands it is now a super-duper motorbike.

Rating: I quite enjoyed this for a 3

Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd


17. FASTER THAN A SPEEDING VIXEN
New in Metropolis: Superpowered crimefighter Vixen and Leslie Luckabree, who's purchased the Daily Planet.

My Thoughts:
I never cared that much for the Leslie Luckabee episodes. I mean they were ok... but nothing thrilling. Though I did find the side story about Vixen very entertaining.

My Rating:
Out of a Possible 5



18. SHADOW OF A DOUBT
Hmm: Leslie Luckabee - L.L. - LEX LUTHOR?! Is Luckabee Lex's son? And does he want what Daddy wanted: Superman dead and Lois as his bride?

My Thoughts:
While not bad... I still don't care too much for the current storyline... though I do find it interesting after all this time that Lex Luthor has been gone they still found ways to make him be the cause of problems for Superman. The side story of the shadow guy was never a favorite of mine either.

My Rating:
Out of a Possible 5



19. VOICE FROM THE PAST
Leslie Luckabee, the twisted Mr. Smith, a killer shadow. All the pieces come together for thrilling adventure.

My Thoughts:
While I never much cared for the whole Leslie Luckabee storyline... I must admit that they did a good job with closing that storyline out. I enjoyed this one quite a bit.

My Rating:
Out of a Possible 5



20. I'VE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN
Gangsters are after a dopey lowlife. So he uses magic to switch bodies with Clark Kent - who's now superpowerless against the mob.

My Thoughts:
Not a bad episode... definitely entertaining... although somewhat silly. Seemed to be little more then a filler episode.

My Rating:
Out of a Possible 5



21. TOY STORY
Must like Elvis: Forlorn Perry places a lonely hearts ad. Meanwhile, Lois and Clark search for kidnapped orphans.

My Thoughts:
This one is a fun but average episode. The main story was entertaining... and I liked that they brought Perry and his ex-wife back together.

My Rating:
Out of a Possible 5



22. THE FAMILY HOUR
The final Lois & Clark episode includes a real surprise. It's not that. Nope, not that either. You'll have to watch and find out!

My Thoughts:
As a stand alone episode this is a good, entertaining episode. But as a series finale I would have preferred something more. I don't know exactly what... but some big way to send the series off. Instead they gave us a normal episode plus just a surprise ending that left you wanting and expecting a bit more. I mean they gave you a good idea where they were going with the storyline... but just felt like it needed more closure. Maybe if they made it a 2 hour finale instead of a normal episode it would have been better.

My Rating:
Out of a Possible 5





Season 4 Thoughts:
After a mediocre season 3 they brought the series back up to a very good show. So much so that I would have liked to have seen at least one more season. This is one time I am glad I didn't give up on a show after it looked like it was going down hill. Definitely worth every cent I paid to get the entire series on DVD.
