Ghost Rider came very highly praised by
I wonder how many of these Cage has been optioned for. There certainly seemed to be lots of room for sequalization here, and I'd be surprised if this ended up as a one-off (especially as wel as I understand it's doing at the box office).
There were only a few scenes that I thought they blew it on (I did not believe that Cage/Blaze was actually that ripped in the shirtless scene with the mirror, for instance), but in one case I guess it allowed a clean break from his stunt-show career (I'd be spoiling to give more details). The scene with Roxanne getting tanked while waiting for Johnny also seemed pointless, especially since she did not seem to be suffering any after-effects the following morning!.
Anyway, a good, well-balanced film with reasonably solid acting from several recognizable stars. More than adequate special effects (although I sometimes felt that I was watching an episode of Charmed at places), and one really really cool stunt (even if that was all CGI with the helicopters). I'm glad I got to see it on the big screen!
