Advantages: good sfx's
Disadvantages: just about everything

Advantages: Nicolas Cage and a good film altogether
Disadvantages: Not that i can think of.

Nicolas Cage played, Johnny Blaze/Ghost Rider, I found it great how he could play the two roles with different personalities. I also liked Raquel Alessi and I felt sorry for her character, Roxanne Simpson at the start of the film, I also enjoyed the other characters and the different roles they played. It did keep me at the edge of my seat with one cushion in one hand! All in all I found this film to be a great film! thank you for reading, Sarah.... Read review
