Ghost Rider

From 2007--

Watched Ghost Rider with Cameron and Doug Friday night... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0259324/...

Directed by: Mark Steven Johnson

Stars: Nicolas Cage, Peter Fonda, Eva Mendes, Donal Logue

Review: The movie was OK, but seriously Cage should not have played Danny Ketch, er Johnny Blaze (the name was Johnny, the appearance and everything else was Ketch).. Honestly, the man is like ten years older than Eva Mendes, and he looks it... they're supposed to be the same age, right? And what's with the Elvis pose with the finger pointing?

Ghost Rider himself was pretty cool, but the movie was like a video game... Level 1, defeat the earth guy.. Level 2, defeat the air guy... Level 3, defeat the water guy... By the way, wtf is a swamp doing in the middle of the desert in Texas? It was like a goddamn bayou right next to a desert town... Btw, when you looked down the hill from where Sam Elliot was, THERE WAS NO DAMN SWAMP.... And level 5, defeat Blackheart... Speaking of Sam Elliot, yeah was pretty sweet having the character of Carter Slade (the original Ghost Rider) appear, but just to turn into a Ghost Rider form and then ride off into mist? What the hell?!?

And Peter Fonda did his best Gary Oldman as Dracula imitation... That was lame....

Plot hole... the cops arrest Johnny Blaze as he was a suspect? Wouldn't he have been a 'person of interest' who would only be taken in for questioning and released? Then he turns into GR IN JAIL and walks out? And only one cop tries to stop him, yet the entire police force shows up minutes later chasing him in the cars that were parked outside the police station? Jeebus... piss poor writing...

Still, the f/x were nice...

Score: Bad
