Ghost Rider is the second Marvel Movie written and directed by Mark Steven Johnson, after Daredevil (2003). This movie is just awesome! My favorite actor plays my favorite hero! The special effects are what I expected for the movie! The story tries to respect well the comics (Johnny Blaze signs a pact with the Devil to heal his father and his girlfriend is Roxanne Simpson), but takes liberties (Johnny Blaze doesn't live with Crash Simpson, but his real father Barron Blaze, not in New York, but in a circus, then he owns a house with a garage in a city in Texas. The only bad points I have is Blackheart, played by Wes Bentley. In the comics, he's a demon, but he looks like an animal, he's blue, he's got a tail, he's got red eyes, no mouth (but he talks), dreadlocks (blue). I don't know why everyone hates this movie. It was released in the period when the Marvel movies like Daredevil, Hulk, the Punisher and Elektra were bashed (Elektra deserved it). If you haven't seen the movie, own it on DVD or Blu-Ray and watch it!!!

This is kinda a bad film mix with good but think about it the dialogue is poor like is it the worst; no I've seen worst. When I first watch it I love it but couple of years pass by I don't love it like I use too but I found it to be O.K like I'd rather prefer Spider-Man 3 (2007) or Fantastic Four: Rise Of Silver Surfer (2007) because I enjoy them the most. It's not great or bad but it's alright.

Ghost Rider had what it took to be a epic motion picture based off one of the biggest Anti-Hero characters in comic book historyNow this movie look better on paper and it is without a doubt one of the most awful films I ever seen.This goes to show how not to make a comic book motion picture. Now I know there are those who like this movie I am not one of those few who enjoy this movie at allOther then the special effects which were pretty impressive to see Ghost Rider with his Motorcycle and the fire around them that is some good effects and Sam Elliot's performance which he pretty much makes the match watchable with his performance and his character is the most interesting one out of the entire castWhen you got one actor who pretty much stole the show that's bad.The rest of the movie is just a blur to watch because there is so much wrong that went into this movie. Plus the acting in the film is border line that's the best way I can decided it plus there is hardly anything of interest about this film It's just hard to give this movie any thing of worth because it has such bad casting, terrible looking characters and overall just a movie where the special effects are what makes the film worth watching that is pretty badI give Ghost Rider a 3 out of 10

Ghost Rider (2007): Dir: Mark Steven Johnson / Cast: Nicolas Cage, Eva Mendes, Peter Fonda, Sam Elliott, Wes Bentley: Blazing adaptation of the popular comic superhero. It seems to suggest struggling with the past. Nicolas Cage plays motorcycle stunt driver Johnny Blaze who sells his soul to the devil in exchange for his father's health. Years later he wishes for a second chance but by night he transforms into an inhuman being with a flamed skull. Third act is mainly action violence but the screenplay wisely centres on Blaze dealing with his powers. Director Mark Steven Johnson is backed with tremendous special effects. This is a vast improvement over the ridiculous Daredevil, which is also about a superhero aiding a power unrequested. Cage brings out regret and anguish as someone who will use his super powers for the good of others. Eva Mendes plays a reporter formerly his childhood friend. She will predictably accept his powered handicap but not without reflections of the past. Peter Fonda plays a Satan like figure who issues the contract to Blaze. The role is fairly standard but finds defeat by the powers he essentially issued. Sam Elliott is flat as a mysterious figure called Caretaker. Wes Bentley is another casting of a demented being of little interest. The comic book theme is highlighted within the film regarding second chances that we all chase after. Score: 7 / 10
