That's asking too damn much!

So, 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 must admit, I went with my friend to go see this movie in the theater. Yes, I knew it had Cage in it, and that he has the delivery of a bar of soap, but I went with my friend anyway. I've stopped having high expectations when it comes to comic-to-movie adaptations. It just doesn't have a good track record and sticking Cage in the lead role..*shudders*, well, that only makes things worse.

But, my friend and I are both big comic book fans, and we still managed to find it more funny, than disapointing. My friend and I were in the back of the theater cracking jokes like Statler and Waldorf. I can't help but laugh every time Cage delivers a line that's not emotionally on par with the scene. It kinda makes my brain go a little numb there for a minute. If they'd kept the teenage 'Johnny' who was in the begining of the film, it would have turned out a lot better.
