entertaining action

Rating: 7/10 (24 December 2007)

I have to admit, I thought a fiery skeleton on a blazing motorcycle was a pretty good idea. I liked the whole Johnny Blaze/ Ghost Rider character. I thought the special effects for the Ghost Rider and his motorcycle were well done. I did think Nick Cage looked weird with that dark hair piece he was wearing. He felt sort of miscast in the role.
And for some reason they had Eva Mendez wearing shirts that were too small and only buttoned half way up. I mean, it looked like she was fixing to explode out of her shirts. But, I guess that was to appeal to the teenage boy audience.
I liked Sam Elliots's role too. His deep voice just sounds so perfect for the movies.
Blackheart looked like a wimpy goth. And the bad guys are defeated very easily by the Ghost Rider. But the Ghost Rider's pentance stare was awesome.
One glaring plot hole: How did the police connect a bunch of frozen bodies to a motorcycle stunt driver and arrest him for their murders?
FINAL VERDICT: Much better than expected. I thought visually, the movie was great. The script could have been better, but it was interesting enough.
