Ghost Rider-err

OK, Ghost Rider came out, and being a comics based movie, it was basically a must watch. I haven’t read any Ghost Rider comics before, so I’m unfamiliar with the lore involved. That could be a good thing since it will prevent me from expecting anything from the film based on previous experience. Besides, the flame effects in the trailer looked cool.

Ans so my SO and I watched the movie. The flame effects on the skull were kinda cool. The humor/jokes in the film were pretty well executed too, I found myself chuckling at several of them. As for the rest of the film… I want to say something more positive , but I’ve already said them.

The story felt hurried, and some parts where the acting is supposed to be serious turned cheezy and humorous. Character development is straightforward and predictable. The action is… questionable. Some of the effects even seem like they were made for TV instead of the movies.

It is watchable, but barely. Flaming skull and humor, that’s all the positive things the movie left on me, not much else. I wouldn’t mind missing something like that on the big screen and just watching in on cable.
