I know each person has their own opinion on what makes a "good" movie and what makes a flop. To make my point, let me list some recent comic movies I liked and disliked.
Spiderman, Iron Man, Dark Night, obviously if you like movies, let alone comic book movies, these HAD to entertain you on some level.
Then there are others, X-Men, Superman, Punisher, that either didn't live up to expectations, or I just didn't give a shit about.
This brings me to Ghost Rider.
I like Nicolas Cage. I think he's cool and he gets away with doing some of the shittiest movies out there, then he will come back and do something worth while. Although he's like plenty of other actors who plays the same role over and over (Bill Murray, that jewish pothead Seth Rogen character he plays in every movie) but it works for him.
For this movie, the idea of a guy who rides a bad ass bike and has a flaming skull for a head seems can't miss. Instead we get stuck with a horrible villain, annoying voice changing when the hero transforms and you can barely understand him, and overall disappointing PG-13 fare.
I guess it has the same problem the Punisher had for me, where it seems like it should be a violent movie with blood, and "bad language" considering the look and feel of the character, and the fact he's in a battle to send people back to hell and stealing their souls and shit. Instead it just comes off a little cheesy and nothing to blow a load in your pants about.
The special effects are okay, although to think coming this far in the CG age, they'd be able to make some of the stuff look a little less cartoony and more realistic.
Whatever the case, as lame as it was, it had some sweet cleavage shots of the delicious Eva Mendes, and it had that creep with the insanely deep voice, making me sit there wondering exactly how big his junk was to have a voice that deep.
Overall, I'll give this 1 and a half assholes. The half is for the movie, the full asshole is because of Eva Mendes' tits.
