At the time Nicolas said he got his inspiration from the old claymation character GUMBY. Ghost Rider, I believe Cage was trying to do his best Elvis impersonation. It was a good choice because Elvis would have made a good Ghost Rider. I thought the movie had a pretty good cast but just failed in story. It would have been nice if they got Jack Nicholson play the Devil instead of Peter Fonda. Fonda is a B actor but you know they used him because he was the Easy Rider dude. Sam Elliot is always great but the role was just stupid *Slow down - spoiler ahead* Tell me this, why in the world did Sam's character ride with Cage to the ghost town, just to leave him at the outskirts? It just didn't make any sense. I guess the only reason to the director is that it looked cool for the two to ride together down that long stretch of highway. I think they weren't going for plot but rather what looked cool. It is the kind of empty plot you'd find in a comic book...excuse me...graphic novel. I cut these kind of movies a little slack because very few of them succeed in being really good. Ghost Rider was big on special effects and little on story. I go to these type of movies with little expectations. They got my money and they get a C-. I am being generous. Years ago Nicolas Cage did a movie called Peggy Sue Got Married.

I can see that being enough to generate a sequel. I hear they are remaking Hulk because the Ang Lee version didn't go over as well as they hoped. I'm looking forward to Iron Man.

I gave it a solid B. Of course me and my oldest daughter love motorcycles so this was a pretty good movie on that account. That cycle from Hell was smokin! (LOL sorry couldn't resist). I thought the love interest was a bit weak and contrived but remember, it is from a comic book. I though Nicolas Cage did a pretty good job. That was Sam Elliott playing the caretaker, we just like him in general. There has already been a lot of chatter about a sequel, look in the scifi.com news archives... What was the weekend take?
