Rating: 6/10 (31 March 2007)

Well. . .
I didn't want to see it. At all. I believed the critics when they said it was lousy. I never read the comic, but knew the overall plot.
But, a buddy had free tickets to it, so I decided to give it a shot. I mean, it made $209,000,000 in the box office. Could millions of people be so very, very wrong? First off, let me say this: I went into this movie completely open-minded. I knew that it's been getting some bad reviews. And though he gets a lot of criticism for his acting. . . I like Nick Cage. National Treasure is one of my favourite films from recent times.
And Eva Mendes. . . flawless. Enough said about her.
Now, to my review of the film: It starts out fairly. . . bad. I nearly lost all hope until Nick Cage showed up. But even when he came and asked to watch shows about Howler Monkeys. . . Yeah. Weird. Also, Karate-Fighting Chimps and The Carpenters. . . Also. Weird.
The graphics are superb. And they better be for $120 million.
And if you want a laugh. . . just compare Blaze's first transformation into Ghost Rider with Evil Ash in Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn. . . the depressing thing is, Bruce Campbell's performance was much better.
Overall, the movie is somewhat enjoyable if you're not taking it too seriously. . . watch it for the graphics. And if you're a real fan of the comic, you'll probably enjoy it. It is a comic book movie at its depths.
And someone should warn Johnny Blaze that driving around on a flaming motorcycle will get you 'hell' from the EPA, Greenpeace, and. . . Smokey the Bear.
Overall. . . 6/10. Not terrible.
