February Super Hero Movies :-(

Rating: 6/10 (13 March 2007)

There seems to be a rule for super hero movies, Good super hero movies are in the summer (Batman Begins, Superman Returns, The X-Men and Spiderman movies) poor ones in February (Daredevil and Elektra). Ghost Rider seems to be a Fence Rider to that rule. Ghost RIder is certainly not in the summer league but is better then its February-release counterparts.Visually the movie is stunning, the Special effects top notch. However the story is good but convoluted. The plot is very dark and the screenwriters threw in a number of dumb gags through out the movie ('my head feels like it is on fire' and drinking a pot of very hot coffee) that distracts from the characters.
