Ghost Rider (2007)

This review is based on the 'extended' cut of the film.
I have nothing against the idea of a leather-clad, chain-wielding, burning skeleton who rides atop a motorcycle whose wheels are made of fire. I really don't. I have nothing against Nicholas Cage either. Nor any problems with a father who makes an honest living as a professional plot device. Apparently, someone does. There is not a single good thing I can say about this movie. The acting ranges from bored to horrible all across the board, the script is something you'd expect in some goth kid's student project, and the special effects—the one thing you should be able to count on when a movie costs upwards of $110 million dollars—are absolute trash. It's a superhero film. I get it. You're supposed to lower your expectations and suspend your disbelief a bit when watching them. After this, I think I'll just hand my disbelief a noose and be done with it.
