Movie Pre-reveiw - Ghost Rider

The mega-block-busting Spider Man and X-Men movies have opened the floodgates on the Comic-Book-To-Movie business, and for the last few years Hollywood has been tripping over itself to get them pumped out fast enough. Punisher, Daredevil, Elektra, The Hulk, Superman and The Fantastic Four are only the first wave; there are more to come. Spider Man 3 is on the way. Iron Man as well. Silver Surfer? Power Pack? I hear a Doctor Strange movie is in production. I am already in line.

Of all the upcoming comic-book movies, I've really been looking forward to the Ghost Rider, despite Nicholas Cage. I am still a huge Ghost Rider fan, and have almost the entire collection of the original series comics. As dreary as this article is, what it is Not telling you is that Ghost Rider was supposed to be released over a year ago, around Xmas 2005. It got bumped to Jan06, and then to summer 06, and then...well, I guess they couldn't hide the movie any longer. The foreknowledge that the producers don't want the movie reviewed by critics until After its release should help lower my expectations to a more reasonable level.

I will be seeing Ghost Rider, but you don't have to follow my example. It's too late for me, but for you there is still hope.
