Ghost Rider is not to shabby

Rating: 7/10 (17 February 2007)

The film is actually good. The storyline is creative and it kinda catches your attention. Both Nicholas Cage and Eva Mendes give great performances. Nicholas Cage, I feel, pulled off the Johnny Blaze character and made it work. Ghost Rider looks visually stunning, and the special effects are impressive. It felt like the film moved pretty fast, but it didn't lose it's direction. This film isn't a 'knock you out of your shoes' blockbuster, but it can stand on it's own. Compared to other comic movies, I would have to say this one stands a little higher than the Punisher film starring Thomas Jane. Ghost Rider leaves you wanting a little more. Check it out...you'll be delightfully surprised.
