2. If you thought "Daredevil" was a good movie
you'll probably like it. It's not truly awful, but the dialog is sooooooooooooooooo badly written. Straight from the George Lucas School of Cliched and Stilted Dialog. Ghost Rider looked cool though and Nicolas Cage was having fun. Just check your brain and suspension of disbelief at the door and you'll be fine. A beer wouldn't hurt either...;)

5. I have no idea about either Ghostrider or Norbit
but I had no interest in the latter. I do like the comic book character Ghostrider, and kinda wanted to see the movie earlier. But I doubt I'll end up seeing it in theaters.

I saw Pan's Labyrinth last weekend. It was kind of depressing but a great movie though. It is in Spanish, so if you don't mind reading subtitles.... If you have a local theater playing it, it's worth considering.

8. Newspapers can't do that anymore
If they outright pan a movie anymore the studios will then in return try to stop there critics from getting a free preview anymore. When Tom Cruise and his then beard Nicole Kidman made the movie "Eyes wide shut" the studio saw that it was a peice of shit so they tried to keep it under wraps by threatening to sue anyone that gave it a negative review.

10. It's got Nicholas Cage in it, so that pretty much seals the deal.
It most likely sucks.

12. It's got some good action in it.
Plus, Sam Elliott is in it, which automatically adds bonus points. But all of those bonus points are taken away by the dialogue between Nicholas Cage and Eva Mendes, which comes across as wooden and totally forced. And don't even get me started on casting the plastic bag guy from American Beauty as the villain. Still, it's worth at least a rental.
