Ghost Rider

Saw this yesterday. Wasn't too bad. Although I didn't think Cage was the right man for the part.. looked too Ted Danson with his dodgy wig on, and too old to be Jonny Blaze. They should've just stuck with the guy who did the young Jonny stuff. Some of the action scenes were nicely done. Lashing the bike around the skyscrapers etc. Villains were a bit too panto buffy for my liking. Wasn't sure whether the Elvis pointing was something Cage added in himself, but it was like seeing him from Wild at Heart all over again, only with more chains and flame.. and a raggedy ass wig. Everytime he "lit up" on command towards the end, I wanted to shout out "Flame on!".. Spawn is much more sinister than Ghost Rider though. Didn't quite understand why the cowboy Ghost Rider from many a moon ago had to ride with him to the cemetry. He knew the way. But it did set up a nice shot of bike and horse all a flame riding into the distance together. Now he's got this out of the way, lets get MJS back to doing Daredevil 2 shall we? ;)
