Title: One of the worst movies I have ever seen
Review: I will never understand why stories that are inherently dark are dumbed-down during their transition to the big screen. "Let's have the hero spout off some cheesy one-liners, and fill the film with laughable villains, and we'll have a movie the whole family can enjoy." Because that's important, putting kids' butts in the seats at a movie about a guy who has sold his soul to the devil. Perfect for a Happy Meal tie-in.Nicholas Cage, as wonderful an actor that he is, is horribly miscast -- filling what should be a brooding portrayal with bizare Cage-like eccentricities. Why have Johhny Blaze be a dark, tormented loner (because, again, when you sell your soul to the devil there might be a slight chance you'd be a bit moody)when he can be a motorcycle superstar who listens to the Carpenters and eats jelly beans out of martini glasses?An amazing source material turned into a painful, unbelievably bad movie.
