connect the dots

Rating: 5/10 (14 June 2008)

from the trailer, i didn't expect much. the movie delivered as much. some nice scenes, but weak script.
i guess it is hard to connect all the dots. ghost rider--devil's bounty hunter on a motorcycle--is an edgy (or rather over the edge) image. how do you give him purpose, make him a character with whom the audience can identify, make him likable, & keep him dark/edgy?
i had no previous exposure to this marvel personality, but this film did not whet my appetite. i am not comic-book-clever enough to offer any constructive criticism, but this film missed the mark. i guess more depth (not vague soul-searching), intellect, & control over his power might help--maybe.
