Should have been left buried under a huge pile of storybooks...

Rating: 3/10 (25 March 2007)

This movie is pathetic, the story is bad told and the at scenes where the movie is trying to be funny, you are laughing - but not about the told joke...
The worst of all is the totally unconnected and jumping-from-here-to-there storytelling. Important facts are presented by-the-way and no one is wondering where the information comes from or why it is important. The same with important figures. And the overall told "story" is so flat that it slips through a closed door.
And also who thinks "Hey, it's an action movie, so don't worry about the story too much" will be badly disappointed. The "action" in this movie is badly done. The fights are not exciting after all. Especially the three minor Fallen Angels are really a joke - sent back to hell in seconds. The final fight astonished me at exactly one point (the solution of the "I have no soul"-problem), but this was only for me being so bored all the time, that I stopped thinking about that really early in the movie.
At last: There are so many logical errors and story-holes in this movie - you can't count them. Also there are continuity errors. The production is just badly done, from the first scrapbook to cutting. Yes, cutting. This is some part for itself. It's juts horrible. In some scenes, important in-betweens seemed to be cut out - at least that is, why I am thinking the movie is told in a jump-by-jump manner.
Finally: The movie is really bad. Don't watch it, if you don't have to. I think fans of the comics will be disappointed. And also fans of Nicolas Cage. I really liked him in "Lord of War". But in "Ghost Rider" his acting is poor. Not to speak of Eva Mendez, which was definitely only integrated for the male audience. That can be proved by any scene she is appearing in.
