Good production design but terrible script leaves the whole thing a mess

Rating: Null/10 (21 February 2009)

This film was quite a letdown. Despite the fine production design and decent Special Effects you still leave the theater disappointed. The flaws are mainly in the script which simply doesn't work. There are some laughable line spoken by the actors with a straight face. Ghost Rider's various powers are never adequately explained, which means the fight scenes make little sense. These flaws could have easily been fixed. Nicolas Cage tries hard to make the material better than it deserves. Peter Fonda is alright but hamstrung by the script. Wes Bentley is wholly inadequate as the villain. Disappointing.
Overall 3/10
