I seem to remember that who we really have to blame is Netflix. They sent the guys the wrong version of Ghost Rider, so they figured Netflix would send everyone else the wrong version too. Ahh, that wacky Netflix I remember once when I tried to rent Ed Woods Jailbait, and they sent me something had that title but wasn't the Ed Wood version (and was more suited to Cinemax late night)

Mmm, I've watched half of it and I'm not that impressed with it. Riffings too genereic and obvious. Downey drug jokes, Jihad is tossed out there all the time... they have yet to get into the vibe of the film.
CH will be happy to hear at least one "The Dude" joke and I laughed at Bill acting as a translator.
Maybe it'll improve but so far it suffers from what's plagued more than a few 'trax of late. The jokes could be plopped onto any flick, I think they are losing their edge and sharp wit.
But I'lll see what shakes in the second half tonight.

Yeah, doesn't sound like it ever picked up too much after that. I think I'll let this one pass.
I'm glad you're here to take the brunt of these things.

There were a few chuckles, but I agree with what was said above. It didn't absolutely suck, but there were too many phoned-in duds. And yes the drug jokes got old by the end of the opening scene. Lots of lazy riffing left me feeling sleepy and mostly dissatisfied. And I was looking forward to it. Not the worst but in the range of the bottom five for me. 5/10

Wow, I cannot dissagree more with the negative comments on this Riff.
Good thing there are options to keep all of us happy with something.

yeah that what I was going to tell CH.... but what if I'm wrong. (Maybe you'll laugh when Bill or Mike shouts "Stark you don't play by the rules!" I agree with getalife though, it was MOTR But hey, I had Legacy of Doom and that made me laugh like a mad man,
