Nicholas Cage, as the uninspired protagonist Johnny Blaze in "Ghost Rider," seriously considers lending his ratty hair piece to Britney Spears.

Damian:
Well, Todd, I can’t believe you convinced me to see that pile of crap, "Ghost Rider," starring the overacting and underperforming Nicholas Cage. Literally, I wanted to throw up within the first 10 minutes, and that because of our fellow movie patrons.Todd:
Yeah, I didn’t expect much from this film myself. With the abysmal adaptations of other Marvel comics like, "DareDevil" and "Elektra," hanging over director Mark Steven Johnson’s head you’d think Stan Lee might be done with him.Damian:
Let’s not talk about Stan "sell my soul" Lee. Before we get too far here, let’s throw out the plot for those interested -- boy’s father is dying, boy sells soul to Devil, Devil makes boy Ghost Rider, Devil’s son decides to visit Earth for some reason, Ghost Rider needs to save day… you know, pretty normal stuff here. I had a better time at Safeway before the flick.Todd:
Oh yeah, you’re talking about when we walked around Safeway for an hour before the movie perusing our snack options and checking our blood pressure after driving in rush-hour Seattle traffic… definitely a ball compared to "Ghost Rider." However, I can’t knock the film entirely, there were… no wait, there wasn’t even one moment when I laughed a genuine laugh or cheered for something other than the exit sign. And don’t try to say my laughing at the dead rat on Nicholas Cage’s head was a plus for the film.Damian:

I don't know why you people didn't like this movie, because you really didn't give me any substantive reason. Thanks jerks.

This review reads like a jackass got his head stuck in a stairway handrail. Are the writers retarded? It doesn't even make sense. You should fire these writers. (Continued…)
