Ghost Rider

Cheers , to Sony for the invite to Ghost Rider the other night, I'm not  Nick Cage fan in fact apart from  Wild at Heart  his performances have been , bloody auful, overplayed and predictable.
So I guessed Ghost Rider would be right up his street, I'd not heard of this Marvel Comic strip before, a bit suprising as I'm a bit of a biker, I have to say the Chopper prior to changing into some fire driven nightmare looked really cool, in fact if I'm not mistaken it was as near as damn a copy of The Captian Ameria bike in Easy Rider,without the stars and stripes, there are few Easy Rider references not least the appearance of  Peter Fonda as the Devil,  where was Dennis ?? and I'm sure and please check this out, the ending shot, was shot on the same road where it all ends for Captain America and Billy in Easy Rider, does that road still exist, and looking exactly the same as it did in the sixties, or are we using some kind of trickery, at least it was the real world, unlike the dodgy Monument Valley scenes that looked like a QOTSA video, only not as good. 
Two words, don't bother, it's proabably  not even worth the rental fee, there have been some pretty poor comic book adaptations over the years , this has to be about the worst.
Anyway, time to go, flight to catch and some wind hopefully, blowing in off the Atalntic.
