Default Ghost Rider

Is quite possibly the worst film I've ever seen. Excluding Battlefield Earth.

Where do I start. The plot barely existant, I've seen movies with deeper character development. For most of the movie I was sitting there with my brain switched off waiting for it to end. The acting is hollow, not that there's much to work with. Throw in a few clichés and bad lines, some special effects (some good, some rather bad) and that's about it. At least The Fantastic Four had Jessica Alba. Only highlight was figuring out where in Melbourne they were filming.

I went and saw this at the drive-in last night.

Fantactic movie, people forget is is based on Marvel Comic, So only so much can be done without destroying the character. Picking the aussie actors and the Melbourne landmarks were cool. I almost saw where I work!

as mentioned already, what are you people expecting fom a comic book movie ? shakespeare it aint. I loved it..yeah it had crappy effects and the tried and tested plotline but its alot of fun, people should realise this going in. I liked all the marvel comic book movies ( except for Punisher ) and Im really looking forwad to Iron man coming out. I would love to have a chance to work on that film, in fact I'd even work on the cheap if I had the chance..

The missus has some sort of motorbike fetish and likes Nicolas Cage. And she paid anyway.
