Everyone thinks they're a movie critic

Rating: 10/10 (17 February 2007)

I love Ghost Rider, I've loved it ever since I started reading the comic when I was 13. I mean a guy with a kick-ass motorcycle, bad-ass chains, and his SKULL IS ON FIRE! The premise was completely absurd, but at the same time it was the coolest thing I've ever seen. Over 10 years later, a motorcycle riding, skull flaming, soul banishing bounty hunter from hell is still the coolest thing I've ever heard of.
Everyone thinks they're a movie critic, and there have been so many great movies that people have dumped on because they think something, somehow gave them the right to criticize something they couldn't do themselves, or wouldn't like no matter how good it was. If you want to say Ghost Rider was a bad movie, then before your opinion has ANY weight, you have to show me that you could make a better movie, otherwise SHUT UP and let people who love the comic and love the idea go to the movie and have a great time.
People love to harp on this movie because of its premise. I hear a lot of Scooby-Doo references, I don't know about you, but I've never seen a flaming skull use a chain to banish evil souls to hell in Scooby-Doo. IGNORE anyone who negatively criticizes this movie because of the premise, completely ignore them, since no matter how good the movie was, they wouldn't like it anyway, and they shouldn't rate it. Don't listen to them, not just for this movie, for ANY movie.
To all you movie critics out there: Movies are meant to entertain, if you don't find a certain movie entertaining, then ALL THAT MEANS is that it wasn't entertaining TO YOU. Just because you don't like a movie doesn't mean it's a bad movie. Thinking it's a bad movie simply because YOU didn't like it is so incredibly pretentious that I think you need to re-evaluate your place in society. I've lived my entire life never listening to any critics; I've watched every movie I ever wanted to see because that's my decision, not theirs. Make your own decisions, watch the movie if you think you'll like it, and don't listen to the critics... EVER.
This movie does not disappoint. Of course it's not perfect, no movie is perfect, if you go into a movie theater expecting a perfect movie, you'll always be disappointed, but this movie far exceeded my expectations, and was so much fun I can't wait to see it again. Comic book fans should all really enjoy this movie, I can't tell you how great it was to see what I only ever saw on paper come to life. This is easily one of my favorite movies of all time.
