The Ghost Rider comes...

I saw the trailer on www.apple.com/trailers and thought it didn't look too bad. Yeah, the Ghost Rider looked a little cartoony, but seriously, how would you pull off a serious portrayal of a leather clad biker skeleton with a flaming skull for a head? Seriously. Just explaining it, it sounds cheesy. Some of the imagery was pretty cool though, like when he was riding down the street and everything was melting. That was cool. Of course, I'm thinking that that occurrence has to be something special like he's really pissed or something. If just riding down the street made everything melt every time, after a week there wouldn't be anything left unmelted. Although, they REALLY should have left the super cheesy line with Nic saying "I'm Ghost Rider" out of the trailer and out of the movie. It was so bad that I was actually a little embarrassed for Nic when he said it.

X-Men 3. I just saw this and I’m not entirely sure what to think. There are parts that were great, but there were some questionable parts as well. The new mutants they added were good, but they seemed pointless. Why were they there? They seemed to be there only to say they were. Case in point, Angel. He served no purpose other than to show him for the fans, but not involve him in the story at all. He was not integral to the plot at all. Take him out and replace him with any other mutant and it would work the exact same way. Also, they wussied up Wolverine a bit. Since when did he get all sensitive? Last problem I’ll mention. I’ll try to be vague as not to spoil it for those who haven’t seen it, but did they have to kill her? Couldn’t they have used the cure on her to stop it all?
The good things though were good. It was fun seeing all of the new characters and Kelsey Grammer did a good job as Hank/Beast.
