Originally posted by Nemesis XIf Ghost Rider's special effects are what exceed the movie budget, the people making these movies should really not be making them because really, as much as I love to see Ghost Rider making thugs urinate themselves, I want to see Mephisto or Blackheart let go of their human forms and start kicking ass. And if they can't get Mephisto out of human form, they should've at least brought back Peter Fonda. I thought he did good. Instead, he gets replaced by an actor who looks he could make children cry "I need an adult!"
I didn't care so much in the first one that Mephisto and Blackheart stayed in their human forms, with just occasional glimpses of the demon below the surface. Peter Fonda was one of the best things about the movie, anyway. But they did throw away money on VFX that wasn't necessary, like Ghost Rider melting everything in the street just by riding through it. I mean, who cares? Just leave a flaming trail from the wheels and that's it. That kind of property damage done by a hero just going by would annoy me, done repeatedly.
