I paid $2 only to watch Ghost Rider on Sunday. There was a movie event held by Singapore Police Coast Guard on Sat and Sun. Tickets were selling at $2 with inclusive of a drink and a popcorn or nachos and free 3 bars of chocolates (all thanks to Leong). I got Ivan and Andrew to go too as we were supposed to watch that today for my birthday. My family also went. Before that, my family and I had Sakae Sushi for lunch as to celebrate my birthday with them.

Synopsis:
Based on the beloved Marvel comic, this live-action drama with stunning visual effects follows biker Johnny Blaze (NICOLAS CAGE) on his journey from stunt rider to agent of Mephistopheles.

In Columbia Pictures' action adventure Ghost Rider superstar motorcycle stunt rider Johnny Blaze (Nicolas Cage) strikes a deal with the vile Mephistopheles for the most precious of commodities, his immortal soul. Now Johnny Blaze is forever destined to ride night after night as the host to the powerful supernatural entity known as the Ghost Rider.

I felt the storyline was rather crappy. At least I felt Daredevil was better. I was glad I only paid $2 to watch Ghost Rider because I felt it was a bad movie. Ivan and Andrew enjoyed it but not for Leong, Weili and me. I sat with Leong and Weili together with my family in the same row of seats and Andrew, Ivan and brother and his friends. When I saw Nicholas Cage in this movie, he suddenly reminded of his movie I loved the most, Face Off acting as the villain in the front part then a good guy after they swopped faces. It made me so tempted to watch the Laser Disc again. Yeap I had the LD at home that time. Back to Ghost Rider, Nicholas Cage looks so skinny in here. I felt the younger Johnny Blaze looks better than the older Johnny Blaze (Cage) and we all felt Nicholas Cage was not so suitable for the role. I happened to chance upon a poll on Yahoo! Movies and the poll is like this:

If we could choose the next Ghost Rider, who would he be?
1) Jake Gyllenhaal 16% 177 votes
2) Keanu Reeves 45% 484 votes
3) Dwayne Johnson 28% 306 votes
4) Leonardo DiCaprio 10% 112 votes

Of course my vote goes to Keanu Reeves. I feel he fits perfectly to the role. This role does not require much acting skills as this movie displays more visual graphics effects and animation more and many said that Keanu Reeves cannot act so he can play this role well. And it’d be good for us ladies to have some eye-candy around in this movie. In my opinion, I feel that if you had a choice, try not to watch this movie. If you really want to watch, then try to watch on the cheapest days on Mon - Wed in Cathay cause tickets are only $7.00.

Movie Rating: 2.5/5 stars
