Funny way to curse someone, make them a flaming skeleton on a bike.

I love Ghost Rider, Nicholas Cage did an awesome job acting. I also like the special effects.

I take a more critical approach to movies than most, so I'm gonna be the one to say he didn't like GR. I found the dialogue poorly written ("Sorry, all outta mercy"), the characters cliche'd, and the story thrown together. Don't even get me started on the ending. To be fair though, Nic Cage was likable, and the effects were good. At least it was better than Wicker Man.

Not true. Films like the Spider man 1&2, Iron Man, and the 2003 Hulk (boring as it was) had depth, humor, story, acting, or some combination those. Ghost rider existed solely to make a profit. Then again we all have bad movies we enjoy (hell, I liked "Stealth"), so you can enjoy it as much as you want. Just respect my opinion as well.

Depth: Barely developed cardboard cutout characters who you couldn't care any less about. Cheesy dialogue.

Acting: Although likable, Cage didn't give off any enthusiasm for the material. Eva Mendes Just took up space ( the love story was pointless), and that guy from Entourage was hammy enough to fill a deli.

Story: Kill "powerful" demons in less than thirty seconds in a way that hardly makes any sense. Have barely any climax at all. Have the villain make one of the dumbest decisions in cinematic memory just for the sake of his defeat. Have the hero make an "unexpected" decision with an ill-established motivation in a poor attempt at drama. Have Nic Cage read cheesy monologue off of cue card. End.

I didn't wanna go there, but you made me.
