Just when I thought we were on a roll in 2007. Yes there's been more crap in our cinema's these last six weeks then any time I can think of in recent years, but the movies I cared about seeing were perfectly fine.
Rocky Balboa wasn't bad,
Smokin' Aces I dug the hell out of,
Notes on a Scandal was good and then
Hot Fuzz was fantastic. The run had to end sometime, and it's with little surprise that it's
Ghost Rider that fails. I'm still hoping all these reviews are wrong and I actually thought the trailer was awesome but my gut tells me that they are probably right with their reviews....
"Ghost Rider is a joke -- a monumentally foolish comic book movie with lots of unintentional laughs, mixed in with the intentional ones". - Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
"Ghost Rider fails for the same reason every bad movie does: poor storytelling and bad acting". - Stax, IGN Movies
"Ghost Rider is the kind of movie that's great stupid fun as long as someone else is buying the tickets". - Ty Burr, Boston Globe
"If Cage made a deal with the devil to never make a good movie ever again, Ghost Rider completes his transition from A-list star to industry punchline". - Matt Pais - Metro Mix
"...undoubtedly one of the worst comic book adaptations to hit theaters since the genre's recent resurgence.." - David Nusair - Reel Film Reviews Ghost Rider is currently scoring a 25% Rotten rating on
Rotten Tomatoes. Not good! I have a feeling this might bomb at the box office this weekend.
Nicolas Cage's reputation has never been worse, I fear they have a failure on there hands here. Ghost Rider opens 2nd March in the U.K. source -
