Id like to say that nicolas cage is my favorite actor- and has been for many a year--that aside here's my ghost rider review.. I went into this movie knowing that i'm not a 'popcorn movie fan' that is i prefer deeper and more feeling movies than comic book genre provide- but cage is my favorite and surely that would change right???- WRONG -I HATED ALMOST EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS WRETCHED MOVIE!!! now before you get youre pube's in a knot WAIT!!! genre hating aside- this was a corny, cheesy, silly ,over the top farse!!! I found myself wanting to bolt for the door-lol it's not that it's nicolas cages fault per say, or the other actors, but its the MATERIAL THEY HAD TO WORK WITH- IT SUCKED.. and all you cage lovers out there need to realize that EVERY ACTOR OUT THERE APPEARS IN BAD MOVIES.. they even know it.. I also noted that nick was in full ELVIS WORSHIP in this movie- from the cape and cane and silly arm gestures -to really laying into the elvis drawl- it's no secret he really likes the king but it was a little much in this movie- it was like elvis meets evil knievel meets marvel comics-lol hahahah .. but anyways i really didnt like any of the characters and could barely follow the storyline- that is because it was so over the top-- My wife who gives every movie a passing grade was even buzzing in my ear about the movie being so CORNY AND CHEESY.. i wish nicolas cage would stick to THE movies that play into his strenghts..this makes 3 bad movies in a row- BUT i'll tell you this -for me--THIS WAS HIS WORST MOVIES EVER!!!!!

heres a list of top notch cage movies that really help bring out his genius..

1. adaptation
2. the weather man
3. the family man
4. matchstick men
5. leaving las vegas
6. wild at heart
7. lord of war
8. 8mm
9. the rock
10. raizing arizona

for me nicolas cage isnt a ACTION HERO but instead a quirky everday kinda guy- with incredible acting skills and impressive facial acting skills..the man can make me cry with his expressions alone!!!! mad genius. well now i'll sit back and take the abuse from people who think every cage movie is AWESOME!!!! lol

 I respect your opinion but I must say something:

First of all I think it isnt a wretched movie - its my opinion, sorry.

But its true that it wasnt as good as it was advirtesed.

I didnt find the plus which i'm looking for - thats a pity.

I missed the final countdown in the end - i think it was a bit short and precipitate.

But hey it isnt an oner, deep-of-philosophy type of film -- It based on a comic.

And if you see this front of view, it wasnt a bad one. -- or it wasnt sooo bad.

I found funny, serious, love and true emotions in it, it wasnt monotonous at all.

He was also sexy in the scene in front of the mirror...
