not bad...but really good either

Rating: Null/10 (24 August 2011)

Out of all the genres of movies out there, superheroes, is a tough one. Every superhero, most likely has a large fan base. Marvel comics is now probably the most famous superhero publishing companies. Most of their most well known heroes, like Iron Man, have been made, and most of them were really good. But a select few strike out.
Ghost Rider is one of those movies. Now you'd think a guy with a flaming skull with a chain whip riding on motorcycle would be cool, right? Nope, not really. it's just about Johnny Blaze whose dad has terminal cancer. Johnny makes a deal with the devil to save his father, which is always a bad move. SPOILER Years later Johnny discovers he is now the Ghost Rider(kind of like the grim reaper on wheels) and now works for the devil. Johnny retaliates and causes more mayhem. Nicholis Cage plays Johhny, and he's all right I guess. I never really pictured him as the Ghost Rider. He seems just to have a monotone expression and voice all throughout, but thats common in his movies. Also Ghost riders kind of sucks...He spends like the whole movie just saying lame one liners,growling and doing a lot unnecessary things. Lastly, the special effects. They're good sometimes but bad most of the time. The flame effects were pretty good, but the skull looks awful! It has now texture at all! All the other effects are okay.
IMDb recently posted a new trailer for the second one, with the same cast. Will I see it in theaters? Probably not, but I'm open to seeing a movie in theaters any time, so, maybe. Who knows? Maybe it'll be a hit, maybe not.
