Terrible movie, absolute trash.

Rating: 2/10 (16 February 2007)

This movie was god awful. Truly a terrible piece of garbage. I was (un)fortunate enough to have a seat for the "WEST COAST PREMIER" of the film held at Cal. State Long Beach (No Joke). Let's put it this way: There was a reason this film was premiered here and not in Hollywood. It was terrible! The acting was poor to the point of hilarity, the visual effects were mediocre, and the writing was abominable. I am truly ashamed to say that the writer (Mark Steven Johnson) is an alumnus of CSULB. I might have to drop out to be disassociated with him. Wes Bently, who played "Blackheart" in the movie was atrocious. Absolutely the worst acting I've seen in a long time, I mean there were times when I was wondering if his poor delivery and awful composure were intentionally set up for jokes. I tend to think not because the entire audience was laughing at him, not with him. Not with him.
Now, the fight scenes. Are you kidding me? Here's my summary of the fights of this movie: First fight with sandman, pretty sweet actually. Some blows on both sides, and sandy died in a fairly cool way. Next fight, on roof top, was totally lame. I mean seriously. Wind dude is like "you can't catch the wind" and then Ghost Rider creates a fire tornado (not as cool as it sounds) and the wind guy is like "oh noes I guess I was wrong" and dies. No fight just... lameness. And is it just me, or did he not even kill the water guy? Granted I left 5 minutes early because it was a bad movie, but I left after he killed hell-boy. That battle, man. GR throws a fire ball, but it was just like a clump of fire. Then he shoots him and he's like dude you cant even hurt me. Then he tries to do his like soul stare thing into the inferno of bad acting Wes and he's like "lol ya rite, I don't have a soul!!1" so GR fails. Then the villain from hell absorbs the souls of 1000 (or was it 5,000?) disgruntled Mexicans or something and GR realizes that now the baddie has A FREAKIN THOUSAND SOULS so he can kill him by looking him in the eyes real romantic like. This is where I left. The only reason I didn't give this movie a 1 is Eva Mendez is hot and was decent in the movie. No comment on Nick Cage, seen him do better and do worse.
