So tonight I saw Ghost Rider. What a horrible waste of a movie. Ghost Rider was a perfect example of the typical, lame, action-packed, super-hero movies (The Fantastic Four and The Hulk are two perfect examples of lameness in movies). All of these movies have the same qualities:
- HORRIBLE lines
- No acting (not that the actors cant act, simply that the roles don’t require any)
- AMAZING special-effects
“But Joel” you say, “I like action-packed, shootemups. What is wrong with them?” Well, you may. And I honestly do enjoy a good action movie. I ask you, though — Which did you prefer, Ghost Rider or Spiderman? Wasn’t Spiderman full of emotion, acting, and touch on fundamental issues which made it a deep, good movie?
I can imagine that most everyone prefers Spiderman to the garbage mentioned above.
And yet, I continue to frequent these movies. Why oh why do I do it?
