What can i truly say about this movie. It's a full on 8. Not the best but does not disappoint. What can I truly say about this movie? It's a full on 8. Not the best but does not disappoint. Nick Cage does a wonderful job of playing Johnny Blaze. The rest of the cast are all not good but not bad. Sam Elliot is the only other exception. His voice, his acting, his presence just fit the "western" part of the move and I can't see a better choice.
The movie combines 2 genres: action and western. The film is an action film but it base is a western type of story. The soundtrack boosts the aforementioned roots with classic Wild West movie sounds. The Ghost rider even says "Eeeha!" while spinning his chain as a lasso. It's been said that it has horror movie in it. All I can say is a definite NO. Yes people die but not that horrific. It steals a little from Constantine in the "devil" department but I didn't really mind.
It's a very good Superhero movie. I give it a full on 8. Daredevil as we know was crap. Electra was the son of that crap. Spidey 2 left a sour taste in the mouth, so did X3 and Superman Returns we all know that that is one Superman that should be shot. Ghost rider was surprisingly good.
My suggestion: Watch it and make your own decision. Don't flame it as a 0 star movie because as I mentioned there are a lot worse out there. It's what I call a "Saturday night Movie": enjoyable, fun and entertaining.
