I've never been a fan of the Ghost Rider comic -- it wasn't super-heroish enough for me when I was a kid, and I didn't really have time for it as an adult. But what little I do know was faithfully re-created in this fun little film.
My only criticism is that the Nick Cage/Eva Mendes/Peter Fonda scenes seemed completely disconnected from the Skull Head vs. Bad Guy For No Reason scenes. In fact, I found the Skull Head scenes a bit boring, other than the simple CGI interest.
I like Nick Cage. I don't understand the widespread hate for this guy. Sure, he always plays Nick Cage, but so does Jack Nicholson and about a million other overpaid Hollywood Stars. I find I can't turn away from any scene that Nick is in.
And any guy that would name his Real World son "Kal-El" is okay by me.
