The ghost rider has the potential to be one of the coolest and most successful franchises today,Ghost rider is so iconic and so much can be done with him,the problem is morons are making the films. The film has several styles that never really gell,It tries humor but fails,Halfway though the movie it literally starts making fun of itself.and its not funny.I felt like they were saying haha we got your money. The over used Prophecy child theme,The fish eye 1970's lens used to death and poor effect.the home computer cgi. If you rent this one day in redbox you'll want your dollar back,If i ever see the director I'll ask for my money back and shame him for taking something that could be so cool and just dropping the ball,he should be banned from making films for 2 years for this one. I hope one day someone with imagination and talent takes on a ghost rider film and finally does it justice.
When the motorcyclist Johnny Blaze finds that his father Barton Blaze has a terminal cancer, he accepts a pact with the Mephistopheles, giving his soul for the health of his beloved father. But the devil deceives him, and Barton dies in a motorcycle accident during an exhibition. Johnny leaves the carnival, his town, his friends and his girlfriend Roxanne. Years later Johnny Blaze becomes a famous motorcyclist, who risks his life in his shows, and he meets Roxanne again, now a TV reporter. However, Mephistopheles proposes Johnny to release his contract if he become the 'Ghost Rider' and defeat his evil son Blackheart, who wants to possess one thousand evil souls and transform hell on earth. Ghostrider is a brilliantly designed character. The chain,the bike, the flaming skull for a head -he's just plain cool.
In fact hes TOO cool - it seems that in any comic, cartoon or game hes involved with, he always comes out as the most interesting thing. It works the same way with the movie: seeing ghost rider in action provides almost all of the films entertainment value.
Watching him ride down buildings, fight villains and flip the bird to the police is a cool sight to behold. When hes not on screen though,things aren't that interesting. Nicholas cage is funny and quirky as johnny blaze and eva mendes is impossibly sexy (as per usual)but for the most part its all very cheesy and feels rushed and episodic.Also, the villains are frustratingly lame, including black heart who's severely downgraded from his comic book incarnation. When sitting through ghostrider, your best bet is to wait for the flaming skullhead to show up- watching him do his thing is tons of fun.
Sadly the same cant be said about the rest of the movie.While its not bad it doesn't quite do ghostrider justice. Because hes TOO cool.
