Why ? Because hes TOO cool.Ghost Rider is a 2007 American supernatural superhero film written and directed by Mark Steven Johnson. Sadly the same cant be said about the rest of the movie.While its not bad it doesn't quite do ghostrider justice. When sitting through ghostrider, your best bet is to wait for the flaming skullhead to show up- watching him do his thing is tons of fun. Nicholas cage is funny and quirky as johnny blaze and eva mendes is impossibly sexy (as per usual)but for the most part its all very cheesy and feels rushed and episodic.Also, the villains are frustratingly lame, including black heart who's severely downgraded from his comic book incarnation. When hes not on screen though ,things aren't that interesting. Watching him ride down buildings, fight villains and flip the bird to the police is a cool sight to behold. It works the same way with the movie: seeing ghost rider in action provides almost all of the films entertainment value. In fact hes TOO cool - it seems that in any comic, cartoon or game hes involved with, he always comes out as the most interesting thing. The chain ,the bike, the flaming skull for a head -he's just plain cool. Ghostrider is a brilliantly designed character. ![]()
