Movie Review by Tim
July 23rd, 2007

Your soul is stained with the blood of innocents.

Favorite Movie Quotes from Ghost Rider :

Johnny Blaze: He may have my soul, but he doesn't have my spirit.

Hummmmmm something doesn't add up about this movie. The talented Nicholas Cage, the beautiful Eva Mendes and the tale of Ghost Rider one of Marvel's greatest comic icons but yet the movie sucks.

Once again a film that starts off great but around the 45 minute mark you find yourself praying that either the film will change directions or hurry up and get finished. I was not impressed with the action sequences and I felt as if it was taking too long for Johnny Blaze to get transformed to Ghost Rider.

I think the problems lies heavily on the fact of the history of this film getting made. See the script had been floating around since 2000 and kept getting pushed back for many different reasons. Then it seems when they green lighted the project that they didn't want to give it the resources it needed to make a good picture. I read that the director even had to fund some of the action sequences with his own money because the studio would not budget them.

For you video game players you know that if a big movie is coming out they always make a video game to release at the same time. They are always behind schedule and almost 95% of video games based after movies end up sucking because they rushed to get it out on time.....well that is the same feeling you get from this film.

Not many good things to say about the film other then it was good to see Wes Bentley play a bad guy. He is most known for playing Ricky Fitts in American Beauty and I really like him as an actor.

I would say that even a rental fee is a waste of money for this film....very disappointing.
