![]() Still, there's a sense of humor at work here, something that didn't play out well in the "X-Men" franchise and led to that abysmal third installation. This is, after all, a movie based on a comic book hero, and what superhero worth his heat-vision doesn't indulge in a dose of the melodramatic every so often? It comes with the territory. Granted, things get a little melodramatic from time to time, but that's as it should be. Nicolas Cage works well in the role his dead-pan humor is well suited to the role of motorcycle stuntman Johnny Blaze, and the scene in which he attempts to explain himself to his long-lost girlfriend is classic stuff, full of awkward pauses and an eyebrow put to good use. It is fun stuff, though, and very much in the spirit of the Marvel comic book of the same name. There won't be any Academy Awards for "Ghost Rider," and deservedly so.
