Ryan Gosling’s strength as an actor is easy charisma, natural delivery of weird lines, and really good comic timing. He can also sing and dance but that isn’t relevant here.

Overall Ghost Rider needs someone who can relate weird information about Hell without sounding scary but remaining intimidating. Gosling is a good choice for that actor. This movie will come down to the script, which is Marvel so it’s going to be broadly appealing and more than likely “it’s okay”.

I’ll see this movie but not paying full price and not paying full attention.
