By no means is this a good movie. It's almost a so bad it's good but takes itself a little too seriously to receive that endorsement. Not Nicolas Cage though. He is so bad he's good. He eats jelly beans from a martini glass.
I don't really feel like writing more so here are some observations I thought up during the movie. I had a lot of time to think during the movie.
1. In the beginning of the movie we are introduced to young Johnny Blaze and Roxanne Simpson. They are in love and 17. Later, when the two characters meet again they are played by Cage and Eva Mendes. Nicolas Cage is 43 and Eva Mendes is 32 so it seems the two have bigger problems than just the Ghost Rider. Something like the space time continuum.
2. All comic book heroes origin stories are ridiculous. Peter Parker was bit by a radioactive spider, Bruce Banner was zapped by gamma rays. Ghost Rider gets his power because the Devil was impressed with his motorcycle jumping abilities.
3. Ghost Rider's most powerful attack basically comes down to him being really good at staring.

Did you really see this at the theater??? If so: wow and whoa. At the most, I think it would be time well spent searching for a bootleg on the internet.
I did. After two people giving me very negative reviews. I was hoping the Nicolas Cage weirdo factor would entertain me. It didn't, since half the movie he is a cgi creation.
Also, curious how Ghost Rider keeps his broad shoulders when he is nothing more than a skeleton.
I'm glad you saw that in the theater so then when people gasp and ask me why I saw it in the theater, I can say, "Hey, Colby saw it, too."
It was a complete mess. A monkey should've written the screenplay. Because then, at least it would've been non-sensical and funny.
