That's asking too damn much!
Aug. 9th, 2007 12:19 pmSo, I watched Ghost Rider last night (don't you judge me!) and I can suspend my disbelief like a mofo, I love sci-fi and comics so suspension of disbelief is not a problem for me. That being said, this movie just asked too damn much!
I mean, selling your soul to the devil, okay, fine, whatever.
Becoming a flaming (no, not like that) monster that makes people relive the pain of people they've hurt, okay, great, they deserve it.
Suspension of disbelief firmly in place.
But asking me to believe that Nicholas Cage and Eva Mendes are the same age is taking it too far! Watching Ghost Rider drive up buildings and explode the air with his chain of fire and I'm all "ooooh, fire, cool", but every time Johnny and Roxanne were on screen together I was like "I can't watch this shit!"
Also, Cage randomly sounding like an Elvis impersonator at various points of the film was extremely annoying.
*cries for the career of Wes Bentley*

I was cringing at his delivery of the lines, and in movies like that I should be cringing at the dialogue while giving credit to the actors for delivering it with a straight face (like Sam Elliot, I really liked Sam Elliot in this movie. However, it made me think mostly about how I'll like to see him playing virtually the same character even more in "The Golden Compass" which likely WON'T suck)
