Disgrace to what could've been great

Rating: 2/10 (20 August 2008)

This movie had one serious problem and thats Mark Steven Johnson. I mean Daredevil was a B- movie at best but this movie is a complete failure on all levels. The script was one of the worst scripts i have ever heard. If there were more anymore cheesy lines, then this movie didn't deserve to hit theaters. Very poor writing and shocks you on how a studio could pass the script and not have rewrites on it.
Nick Cage is a talented guy but not in this movie. He was not right for the character and played it as a boring, depressed guy on drugs.
Eva Mendes was pleasant on the eyes but thats about it. She didn't play a good love attraction and you don't feel the connection between the two actors.
The villains were weak and both poorly cast. Peter Fonda is not scary and doesn't come off as evil. His son Blackheart (Wes Bentley) has the looks of a devils son but not the talent. Weak actor for the role. Blackheart is a very dark character that could have been truly scary and villainous with the right actor in the part.
Besides some visual effect highlights, not mentioning the final battle between Ghost Rider and Blackheart which was a visual effects disaster, this movie is a failure on all levels. From the direction to the screenplay to the cast, Ghost Rider is one of the biggest comic book adaptation failures ever.
