Reviews & comments
Nic Cage barfs... again!
Mark Steven Johnson directed 'Daredevil.' That should be enough to warn anyone just how awful this mess of a movie is. Cage proves yet again that for every great role he takes on - he'll take another nine that stink to high heaven. To say it's formulaic would be unfair on formulaic Hollywood popcorn movies. One for anyone who didn't get HELLBOY - and sure...
Nicolas Cage is actually really good in this
Didnt have to a high a hope for this movie as a lot of comic books turned into movies are well bluntly S***t but people say its not good or bad ect ect look these movies are not shakespeare plays or Laurence of arabia there popcorn movies a few hours of escapism . Nicolas cage does do some strange movies then he also does some call blockbusters like Con Air...

pressThe Ghost Rider is one of the more aggressively Catholic superheros in the Marvel stable. Cut from the same vigilante cloth as The Punisher - leather, not spandex - he rides around on a flaming motorcycle dispensing rough justice to the scum of the streets. Though entertaining enough in comic form, he's basically silly on the big screen due to the unavoidable on-fire-ness of his head...
