8. Eva Mendes as Roxanne Simpson in Ghost Rider
Yes, Ghost Rider was the ultimate letdown and anyone other than Nic Cage would’ve been a better choice for Johnny Blaze, but Eva Mendes as Roxanne Simpson was a phenomenal casting decision. Obviously it’s important to have a super sexy woman in a comic-film, and if the film is going to suck, the woman better be all the sexier. So yeah, there really couldn’t have been anyone other than Mendes to take on the role. In fact, the only watchable scenes of the whole movie were the ones she was in.
The independent, journalist-type is something that isn’t going away in comic book films anytime soon. And there’s a reason for that. It’s really hot! Plus, I want to give major props to Mendes for being willing to cuddle up with Cage. That takes a special kind of woman, and for that courage, and the sexiness she brought to the film, we can forgive that she ever did this film in the first place.
