Ghost Rider: Going Down In Flames?

Nicholas Cage is a great actor and so too is the beautiful Eva Mendez, however is their performance along with that of their castmates something that can make this movie special. Ghost Rider takes its roots from its comic book version and deals with a man by the name of Johnny Blaze, a stunt motorcyclist, who gives up his soul to become a hell blazing force against injustices, which leads to a fight against the power hungry Blackheart, who is evidently the son of the devil himself. Now the director, Mark Steven Johnson, also directed Dare Devil, which was a mediocre movie at best. Comic book fans and other loyal Cage/Mendez supporters will flock to see this movie. Even though this is true, what about the rest? Can Cage's versatile performance in any movie he does captivate movie lovers? Or will this just be another comic book attempt to become a hit success movie gone bad? Reminder to many that Spider-Man is one of the few comic book movies to hit gold. I believe that this comic book should've been left on the shelf and that this movie will only bring in those that are curious. It comes out February 16th and I'd love to be proved wrong. Opinions please!
