Why the movie Ghost Rider won't suck

1/30/2007 5:29:32 PM permalink

It came to me while watching television that the movie Ghost Rider won't suck. Sure a movie about a second tier Marvel comic book character doesn't SEEM to be promising I point to the obvious cult classic success of Blade (third one doesn't count dangit!). But I came to this conclusion with two main reasons: 1) Nicolas Cage (Coppola) is a fanboy. No seriously..he is. I mean look at his acting name. He took it after Power Man/Luke Cage. That screams fanboy. I doubt he wants to do any injustice to a comic book character. 2) I hate the character Ghost Rider. I've yet to read a good Ghost Rider comic. Okay so I'm not fifty and collect every book but still...he doesn't scream success. So the idea of making him into a movie really only makes him better. What else can it do but give me more interest in a character that was once tied to Dr. Strange and Blade through the Midnight Sons. My low expectations are probably visible but I think so is everyone else's regarding this movie.
