Disappointed

Rating: 6/10 (22 February 2007)

I was so looking forward to this movie when I first saw the trailer. I even marked the release date on my calendar. Unfortunately, I was somewhat disappointed. The story and concept is great, but the overall execution of the movie was subpar. I've seen other movies that Nicholas Cage and Eva Mendes have acted in, so I can fairly say that the Ghostrider screenplay is totally at fault here. Can anyone say "Velveeta"? Some parts were totally cheesy. The editing was poor in some areas. The pace was lackluster and dull--this is my biggest pet peeve about Ghostrider. There were odd, long pauses in the movie. It was like waiting for a punch-line that never came.
I had such high hopes for this movie. I would strongly recommend a remake! Find a better script and a better director...and I'll be there for the next version.
