Weak. Sloppy. Disappointing. Daft. Boring. Uselessly Loud.

Rating: 3/10 (17 February 2007)

Any film that can make Donal Logue not funny has, by definition, huge problems. Don't get me wrong, I liked "DareDevil" just fine. It at least seemed to have some connection with reality somewhere. This film: everything looked fake. There was hardly an original, organic moment...which makes sense, when your lead character is completely CG. Nick Cage, oddly, looked fake even when he wasn't the Ghost Rider. Eva Mendes provided great (and possibly organic) distractions, but even she wasn't enough to take one's mind off the tedium, the illogic, and the general stupidity. The waste of talent was shocking. The always dependable Sam Elliot existed only to provide exposition, and Donal Logue's character, which should have been some emotional grounding to the story, popped in and out of the story with very little reason to do so. I wanted to like this film, but I just can't.
