Just as the “Ghost Rider” screening gets under way in Gotham City (Kyle is there), the Providence Journal has posted what’s apparently the first U.S. newspaper review of the $120 million flick on its website. It’s from Bob Strauss of the L.A. Daily News, who reports it’s “just different enough from other superhero fare to be worth a look, but not a particularly stirring genre entry.”

Update: With the NYC “Ghost Rider” screening letting out and Kyle racing with a police escort to his keyboard at 9:30, Strauss is the still the only print critic out there in the ether. His review finally turned up on his own paper’s website, which lists the rating as 2.5 stars, as well as those of the Louisville Courier-Journal and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
