Fire in the Cage!

This Movie Poster Monday we'll be reviewing "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance". This week's five points of the poster are:

1) Nicolas Cage? Where is he? Did he have an appointment with his bank manager? If so, couldn't they just reschedule the movie poster shoot? It really isn't helpful to have the name of a movie star on your movie poster and then not show them. Afterall, having the right star on your poster can make all the difference at the box office. Let's take the example of "Underworld", Kate Beckinsale was on the poster, it make a bajillion dollars and spawned like four sequels or something like that. "Click" on the other hand didn't have Kate Beckinsale on the poster and there were no sequels. I rest my case.

2)Oh wait, I think I see Cage, is this him? He doesn't look so good. I know he's been having some financial trouble, but I didn't know he had fallen on such tough times. Looks like he maybe got some of the discount plastic surgery in South America. Nick, Nick, Nick, get a deal when you're shopping for laundry soap, not when you're looking for someone to rip your face off and put it back on...

3) I do have another theory, perhaps he didn't borrow all that money for his real estate portfolio from the bank. Perhaps he turned to the mob for some of that "coin", and when he couldn't make the payments they made a visit to the set. As he was obviously melted to his motorcycle after that, I give the director of this movie poster shoot for making the best out of a bad situation.

4) Even if this is a mob intimidation tactic, I do have to say that it's pretty cool to have a flaming motorcycle!

5) Normally we don't like "3D", but there are so many numbers here that it gets lost. So what I'm saying is it doesn't really matter to me if it's 3D, 2D, or 2.17D.

In conclusion, based on this thorough analysis we predict that "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" will gross $40 million in its opening weekend (Mostly because we mentioned Kate Beckinsale in this movie poster review.)
