Very good

Rating: Null/10 (13 February 2007)

I'm not going to say it was "great" or "the best Marvel movie ever!" Because that would be Spider-man 2 and X-Men 2, IMHO. But the movie was very good. This is the best role Cage has had in years. He's much more fun, much more interesting than in other action fare and that's why I think the movie works so well. Story is pretty good, nothing special. Blackheart (Wes Bently) is the son of the Devil and he has escaped from Hell. His father, Mephistopheles (Fonda), uses the Ghost Rider to get him back. Blackheart collects three demons called The Hidden. I don't think he ever anticipated them surviving the Ghost Rider, but instead uses them to keep the Ghost rider busy while he is searching for the Contract. It's a list of names that he thinks will help him to defeat his father and bring about the end of times. There is FANTASTIC action in this movie and anybody who says that the CGI sucks is a moron who doesn't understand anything about visual effects. The effects are amazing and, in fact, could get nominated for an Academy Award next year. Some of the fights are over too quick -- feels like the money ran out to me -- and I would have liked to see more of Sam Elliott in the movie. He's awesome. But all in all, I had a great time. It's a complete comic book fantasy and I highly recommend it.
