An average Summer-esquire comic book flick

Rating: 7/10 (27 April 2007)

Not in league with Spider-man or Batman Begins, but still a fun movie to watch. Could have used a lot more action, but what was there was fine with me, showed a small taste of the heroes power. Nic Cage had some small moments where his acting reminded me of the wickerman, but all in all he did a good job.
I enjoyed the movie, it was pretty fast paced, which kept me interested throughout, not really any boring moments. I saw what could have been a plot hole or two but honestly, it's just a comic book movie, I didn't expect it to be a masterpiece or anything. I enjoyed it and I think most of your average movie-goers liked it also for what it is.
This movie is more on par with Fantastic 4 and Blade:Trinity (the first 2 were fantastic though) than some of the other comic book based films, such as Batman begins, a great movie with dark elements I had expected to be in Ghost rider, which seemed a little bit toned down to me, one of my only complaints was the lack of "disturbing" elements.
So, if you have some free time on your hands and you want to be entertained for 2 hours, enjoy Ghost Rider if you haven't all ready seen it.
