So my lifelong friend and DFH family member were avid comic book fans when we were kids (don’t make fun of us now that I just admitted that! Hahaha!) We just recently saw the sequel to Ghost Rider starring the “Infamous” Nicholas Cage! For those not familiar with his work (which I don’t know how you couldn’t be because he’s in every damn movie) he really lights it up in this franchise. By lighting up I mean bending over with a lighter attached to your ass! Now we are not bashing Mr. Cage, he’s phenomenal with his charity work and philanthropic persona, however, we are bashing his acting abilities in this movie! If you are not familiar with Ghost Rider, it’s the story of a man who makes a deal with the devil to save a loved one and in return becomes a flaming skulled, motorcycle riding, chain wielding bounty hunter from Hell! Very serious character and a very dark story to say the least. When first hearing that this franchise was hitting the big screen we were ecstatic like any comic fan would be…until we actually went and viewed it! Ha! Now like most comic movies there’s a 50/50 chance of it being good. This unfortunately was not one of the lucky “50″. Nicholas Cage’s portrayal of Johnny Blaze (Ghost Rider) was so far removed from the actual story that Mickey Mouse playing Freddie Krueger would’ve been a more believable casting choice! Now I’m not Nicholas Cage bashing for sport. I actually like his work in The Rock and you can’t take his Oscar away from him for Leaving Las Vegas which was a great movie! But you do wanna borrow his Oscar and bash your face in for sitting through his scenes in what would otherwise be a decent action hero movie. This movie is actually the sequel to the 2007 film where Nicholas Cage decided to take the character in his own direction and instead of being a tortured soul living day to day as a loner hard living and hard boozing he had the character eating JELLYBEANS out of a martini glass! Now I love jellybeans as much as the next person but let’s just say I don’t envision the bounty hunter from Hell pulling out his jellybelly bag and combining blueberry and buttered popcorn to create Blueberry Muffin! Yes that is a real jellybelly concoction! Hahaha! We were tricked by clever marketing and a great trailer into paying $10.50 to see the 3D version of the second instalment of this series. Go judge for yourself and don’t forget to bring your jellybellies during this 3D experience!
