Ghost Rider (Review)

Chopper bikes are cool again~! A Marvel comic adaptation...what else right? Well for those who don't know what is this skull on fire is all about here is a 60 seconds low down. Every 150 years or so the devil comes and makes a deal with a mortal to sell their soul to him in return he does a favour (never trust devils). So yes the devil did what a devil does well.... and this dude becomes a hit man for the devil anyways.
So obviously there is the villain which is the son of the devil who wants to take Daddy devil for retirement prematurely. So this skull on fire dude is tasked to get rid of devil junior. Pretty simple storyline and very straight forward. Nicholas Cage is so-so and Eve is well.....phew hot~!
But the show stealer is the bike that the hero rides....damn cool~ I mean hot~! It is a normal custom chopper by day and a hellbent fire snorting bike by night. The effects are nothing really new but it got the job done.
One thing.....they have to get the translation of titles right man. "Penunggang Motor Hantu" i mean...what is that? It might as well be "Pelesit~". It's a good movie for the family....to comic lovers just stick to your comics on this one. Its pretty much a no brainer. I give it a 3 out of 5 just because the bike is a cool thing.
*p/s:Sorry no image captures because I didn't have snagit frm where I wrote this.
