Ghost Rider, Worst Marvel Film Yet?

Rating: 1/10 (19 February 2007)

A word to Marvel Studios: YOU DON'T NEED TO SHOVE 20 YEARS WORTH OF STORY INTO ONE FILM!!! Do me a favor Marvel Studios, stop trying to give me what I want. Sure, in X-3 I wanted to see Colossus hurl Wolverine into the air and see Iceman "ice-up". Of course in Fantastic Four you want to see Dr. Doom battle the "fave-four" in each of their own elements. And okay, in Hulk the battle at the end of the film between Banner and his father is pretty sweet. Even in Ghost Rider getting a chance to meet the Spirit of Vengenace was worth while. But if all these things come with the sacrifice of a clear story, strong characters, and empowering cinematic awe, then STOP! I want to see a good movie before I see a movie filled with all the things you THINK I want to see. The problems with Ghost Rider is that there was too much. The heart of the film should have been Blaze's struggle to control "the demon within". That's all. Cut out Blackheart, cut out Donal Logue, and most definitely cut out Eva Mendes. There is too much going on, plan and simple. Is the movie about the turmoil between Blaze and Roxanne? Is it about Blaze and Ghost Rider? Blaze and the Devil? Ghost Rider and Blackheart? The Devil and Blackheart? Blaze and the Caretaker? Blaze and his own Guilt? Blaze and his Father? MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!! The story sucks! One minute two characters are down one another's throat, the next the one is confessing his darkest secret. Characters are Inconsistent! One minute Blaze is a laid back fun loving guy, the next he's ominously pushing everyone away. This is okay, but show me some character development. A little bit of drama would be appreciated. Acting? What's Acting? One word: Mendes! I don't know why you keep getting movie roles but STOP...please. You are the worst actress to ever grace the Silver Screen. Please, for the love of GOD, stop making movies. More importantly, Stop making movies that I would go and see. The sock puppets on Lamb-Chop could act better! WHY WHY WHY!!! This movie sucked and I don't know why anyone liked it. If you are one of those people, please stop going to the movies. Stop encouraging the world that films like this are worth while. To top it all off this came out on my birthday! Happy Birthday to me! Here's the worst comic book movie ever! Yeah!!!
