Ghost Rider

Ghost Rider - Eva Mendes

Your soul has been tainted by the blood of the innocent. Look into my eyes and feel their pain!

With lines like that, it is no surprise that I was drawn towards distractions like Eva Mendes while watching Ghost Rider. Starring Mendes, her cleavage, Nicholas Cage and his hairpiece, this comic book adaptation by Mark Steven Johnson was a let-down because of crappy lines, B-Grade CGI and a serious lack of ass-kicking from the hell-flame-skullhead!

For example, the ease with how GR disposed off the three elemental minions of Blackheart was a letdown. Also, the casting of Nicholas Cage who took three hours to put up his toupee before filming, was obviously done probably because of his personal interest in the story. Can't they just cast someone younger looking?

My conclusion - wait for the DVD to appear in your favorite rental shop. Not worth the $$.
