first of all, the rhythm is too slow, two-fifths of the film's time has passed when the image of Ghost Rider appears, and the things explained in those 40 minutes are actually only It takes a few reminiscence paragraphs, or even a few flashbacks, to make it clear.
Secondly, the plot is too bland, although the knight's ability is not strong, but the forces of good and evil still do not constitute a balanced confrontation, especially the decisive battle between the knight and the black heart is very naive and ridiculous. Blackheart kidnapped the knight's girlfriend, not only failed to make the other party subject to him, but instead added a helper to others; Blackheart got the coveted agreement, not only did not show strong power, but sent himself to a dead end.
Furthermore, the film did not create space for Cage, the Oscar-winning actor, to show his acting skills. He was good at expressing inner pain and struggle. There was nowhere to show it. What's more, the knight was shown in the shape of a skeleton in many times.
From this point of view, the focus of the film is not the deduction of the storyline and the shaping of the characters at all. It basically uses CG technology as a selling point. In this sense, the film is not bad, after all, it topped the North American box office with a weekly box office of $44.5 million, and also set a new box office record for Cage's film career.
I like Cage, "Escape from Las Vegas", "City of Angels", "Breaking the Dead Island", "Changing Face", "Prison in the Sky", "Wind Whisperer", "Mr. Weather" are all It's my favorite movie. Therefore, it is not worth it for Cage. Even if you dream of being a superman but can't, you can't comfort yourself with such a shameless guy. Even though the four films in a row ("Lord of War," "Mr. Weather," "Pagan," and "World Trade Center") were called "box-office duds"—they were actually well-received Yeah, it's not like this movie is too much.
However, Hollywood is the most realistic world. If a movie star has no box office appeal, it will not be far from bleak. People don't care how impressive your past achievements are. So Cage, 43, has to do something to restore investors' confidence in him.
Can he achieve his goal through such a film based on comics? I hope so, I hope people can remember the half-human, half-skull face on the poster after remembering his gritty or affectionate or painful faces.
