I like the movies. Generally they're a good way to be entertained, possibly amused, occasionally moved.

Ghost Rider was none of those.

The story sucked. The acting was terrible. I suppose the effects were alright, but contrived and convenient are the only other words that come to mind when I try to describe it.

The first one wasn't bad. The story wasn't full of holes and convenient happenstance, the action wasn't stupidly contrived and it was entertaining. I was at least expecting that from this one. I kept waiting for it to get better, to tie things together, but it never happened. It was just one special effect after another with little plot and a truly suckass story.

It's obvious that the budget was way bigger on this one and, as is often the case in hollywood, the quality went down as the budget went up.

Save your money and go see something else. War Horse was great.
