He was running away from Miss Mendes ! (TV)

Rating: 7/10 (2 April 2010)

I must thank the kid for having suggested this movie. It's funny because he has seen the end on TV and wanted to discover the beginning. So we watched it together and back home, I watched the end.
I remember that at its release, critics were bad and they make fun of Cage's hairstyle (was it a wig?). As a Marvel fan, I add that the character isn't among my favorites and I only know him for being on the cover of the first Wizard magazine. So it's a super hero whose fame is changing and I suppose the movie won't help, even thought I had fun.
The look of the ghost rider is really terrific and there aren't dull moments. I really appreciate the feeling of this road movie in the West and finally, this movie gives an excellent modernization of the western genre: the old town, the lone ranger, the bad guys, the gun fights, the horses. Everything is here but depicted in a new way and it's cool!
Cage is fine with his faustian character on the contrary of Eva Mendes who plays like a tart! She never convinced me one second as a poor lover! Maybe with Penelope Cruz, this movie could have been a classic!
