horrible, just a straight up disaster

Rating: 1/10 (4 March 2007)

Wow this movie sucked. Seriously, the makers of this movie had so much to work with and ended up with this? This joins The Hulk(2003),and Superman II(1980) for superhero movies that can end the world, in which a super hero will not be able to save because they will be so depressed from being so badly portrayed. I honestly almost cried from anger that I payed to see a horrible film of such a high caliber.
First off, I would like to break down why this movie was destined for greatness. The story of Ghost Rider I learned was a story that was multi dimensional, and had a dark realism that if executed right could have been made into a movie such as Batman(1989). Obviously, it was not executed properly, and the idea became a cheesy kiddie film. Marvel took an idea full of promise and flushed it down the toilet, demonstrating their lack of understanding for their own comics.
The second reason I truly hated this movie was the waste of casting for the movie. Nicholas Cage if given the right character can be very entertaining. HE WAS NOT. A glimpse of Eva Mendes can make almost any movie worth watching. NOT THIS ONE. I would hate the actors for even agreeing to make this movie, but right now I'm contemplating whether or not to sell my own soul to the devil in exchange for the destruction of MARVEL Studios. Lastly, what the hell was up with Blackheart? He was the lamest and least scariest villain I have or probably will ever see. He struck fear in no one, and his henchmen were less threatening than a hamster. Also, what was with the final showdown? I haven't been more disappointed since watching any scene from the movie Poseidon(2006).
All in all, I feel not holding back on this movie serves true justice to this creation of momentous failures. I remember trying to get into the movie so hard that I fell asleep for 15 minutes from exhaustion. When I woke up, however, I felt better for myself because I know now that in a situation of extreme measures, I can sleep through it. Friday night, Feb. 16th has been stolen from me, and I will never forgive Ghost Rider for it.
