If you like action movies or if you just like Nicholas Cage, Ghost Rider is for you. Randy and I went to see it tonight and really enjoyed it. If you like action, no blood and guts but the bad guys do get there comeuppance, Nicholas Cage and the song Ghost Riders in the Sky (even if it isn't the quintissential version by Vaughn Monroe) you might like it.
Nicholas Cage sure does pick some bizarre roles doesn't he. He was great in Wild At Heart and a few others after that but he picks some really dodgy roles sometimes. Ghost Rider sounds like a good popcorn flick.
The character is from a Marvel comic book of the same name, I haven't read comic books since I was 10 so I am pretty much out of touch with those. I don't imagine that Nicholas Cage has to worry about whether the movie is a blockbuster moneywise at this point in his career, he can pick movies because they sound like fun. Like Antonio Banderas who has done some roles totally out of character with what you might expect him to do....like Spy Kids and the voice of the bee in the Nasonex commercial.
