Ghost Rider

Much like the film reviewed before this, Ghost Rider was mostly predictable. Unlike the film reviewed before this, its predictability works for it. Enter the reluctant and initially unwilling superhero, his damsel in distress, some loose ends never resolved in the writing and/or editing, and some really cool bad guy, and you've got a recipe for success in my book.

Where the film hurts itself is in the sometimes easily resolved fight scenes (which had potential), the sketchy acting skills of Eva Mendes (no potential) and sometimes iffy special effects (limitless potential). However, these shortcomings can't stop the Sam Elliott train, baby, so give Ghost Rider a look. Take it for what it is, and you'll be pleased enough.

Rating: 7/10
