ghost rider

There are two reasons why I watched this film, Nicolas Cage and superhero theme.

Nicholas Cage is definitely one of my favorite actors in Hollywood. I always remember his role in Con Air as Cameron Poe and Castor Troy/Sean Archer in Faceoff. Besides, Gone in Sixty Seconds, Matchstick Men, National Treasure, Snake Eyes all of them are great movies with great performance. I also like Eva Mendes. She is funny and sexy, just like her role in Hitch.

Now, before watching this movie I’ve great expectations. Although I like characters and the marvel theme of heroes, I’m pretty disappointed with Ghostrider.

First of all, I don’t know why but when I’m watching this movie I’ve a feeling that Nicholas doesn’t fit in so well with the character(Johnny Blaze/Ghost Rider). There is nothing wrong with his performance but it ’s just kind of weird. Maybe Nicholas Cage is too old for the character? I don’t know.

Another thing I don’t like about the movie is that the villains are kind of lame somehow. They’re too weak in the movie.

Apart from the excellent special effects, Ghostrider overall fails to create exciting moments.
