Johnny Blaze (Nicolas Cage) was only a teenaged stunt biker when he sold his soul to the devil (Peter Fonda). Years later, Johnny is a world renowned daredevil by day, but at night, he becomes the Ghost Rider of Marvel Comics legend. The devil's bounty hunter, he is charged with finding evil souls on earth and bringing them to hell. But when a twist of fate brings Johnny's long-lost love (Eva Mendes) back into his life, Johnny realizes he just might have a second chance at happiness - if he can beat the devil and win back his soul. To do so he'll have to defeat Blackheart (Wes Bentley), the devil's nemesis and wayward son, whose plot to take over his father's realm will bring hell on earth--unless Ghost Rider can stop him.

Title: Greatest movie ever!
Review: I love this movie. I even have the two disc version of it. I like how Nicholas Cage played the role of Ghost Rider in the film and how he used the power to hunt down evil. I liked the song "Ghost Riders in the sky" in this movie. But I wish I could find the extended cut to watch online because it is just as good as the theatrical version.

Title: A flaming dungheap of a movie. The people behind this travesty deserve the Penance Stare.
Review: BOTTOM LINE: Okay, so it WAS cool to finally see one of my comicbook faves on the big screen. Too bad the film itself is such a "close but no cigar" effort. Most everything that made Johnny Blaze/Ghost Rider so cool & iconic in the first place is jettisoned and instead we get a wrong-headed attempt at a lighter tone for a film about one of comics' darkest, most tortured anti-heroes. Stupid WTF crap like Blaze eating jellybeans from a brandy snifter. Huh?!? Not funny, not quirky, just STUPID. The only good thing about this film is that at least it isn't as bad as the brain-dead sequel, but that's hardly something to stand up and cheer about. You may be more forgiving, however this film was barely watchable for me and then ONLY because of the bits with the Ghost Rider himself. For undiscriminating comic fans only (and devil worshipers in need of a good laugh). A marginal 3 STARS, and frankly thatâs being overly generous.THOUGHTS: Instead of sticking to the classic origin of Johnny Blaze, writer/director Mark Johnson changes enough stuff to basically eff it all up. (For Pete's sake, why not just keep the scope of the movie small and use issue #68 of the original comic as a roadmap for the film? Sheesh.) The acting is all over the map here, but most of it is just yuck. The majority of the actors are either wrongly cast, totally worthless or completely wasted. Nick Cage, (easily 10-15 years too old at this point, sporting a ridiculous-looking hairpiece that wouldn't even fool Mr. Magoo), overacts like a spider monkey on crack; chewing more scenery than the shark in JAWS. Eva Mendez as Blaze's love interest is undeniable as eye candy but has all the emotional depth and dramatic acting skills of, say, Shemp Howard. Peter Fonda is a motion picture icon and his involvement is a nice tip of the hat to acknowledge his iconic rebel/biker movie career, but he's wasted in a part that could (and should) have been meatier and more involving. Instead, he shows up and you go "Ooooh! It's the guy from EASY RIDER playing the Devil! Cool!" and then he's gone. Sam Elliot is easily the best actor in this thing, bringing genuine gravitas to his role as Carter Slade, the original Wild West-era Ghost Rider, but he's criminally under-used; his character popping up only occasionally to give cryptic advice to Blaze about what he has become and what's expected of him. Wes Bentley is a joke as the satanic goth/emo badboy, Blackheart; about as scary as one of those bored guys who jumps out at you inside those corn maze things that pop up every Halloween. Speaking of the bad guys, they are all - without exception - really lame. Ghost Rider defeats each of them with practically no effort at all, so what was even the point?!? And GR himself has very little screen time at all for a film that's supposed to be about him. The good part of this movie is that when he is on screen he is awesome; every bit as intimidating and savage as you'd expect. His hellfire bike is a great piece of cinematic imagery; a fantastic job of realizing one key aspect of what makes the Ghost Rider so iconic and badass. Watching him power down the road is a thrill but it hardly makes it worth sitting through the rest of this underwhelming mess. Too many dumb decisions on the director's part. Keep in mind, this is the same inept clown who directed (or should I say misdirected) that horrid Ben Affleck DAREDEVIL movie. Johnson claims that GR is actually his favorite comic character and that he took the directing job for DAREDEVIL just so he could get the gig for GHOST RIDER. Yeah, whatever. Thank God for the FF>> and chapter skip buttons or I'd never re-watch this. There are some truly great movies out there based on comicbook characters. This isn't one of them.THE BLU-RAY: A decent if unspectacular hi-def offering from Columbia. The film is in its proper aspect ratio and looks & sounds good. No artifacting, pixelation, edge enhancement and little crush (video noise) except in some of the murkier nighttime scenes. The CGI is okay for the most part but several shots definitely show their age and do not hold up well. Audio is crisp and clear. Bonus content is limited to a pair of audio commentary tracks and a 2-part 'making of' piece. If you feel the need to own this movie then do yourself a favor and buy it used to save a few dollars, and offset the bad taste much of this film leaves after viewing.

Title: Absolutely LUV This Movie!
Review: Usualy I donât go 4 fast motorcycles & such but this movie has REALY enthraled me!! Nicolas Cage is a gr8 actor & he doesnât disappoint in this film. It is just TOO cool, the flaming efects, that I wonât go in2 if u havnât seen it yet. They cudnât get a better actor than Wes Bentley 2 play the part he did since he has a natural intense, evil stare that uâl understand wen u watch this movie. Hav fallen in luv w/Spider Baitâs version of song âGhost Riders In The Skyâ, a song dun by many artists yrs. ago. The story line is interestin, if a litâl diferent from wat I understood about demons. This cums w/a plastic figurine of the Ghost Rider w/his chain. Gave it 2 my son since Iâm not in2 collectin things but this is the extended version w/a separate DVD disc about the makin of this movie. Wil b watchin this movie repetedly now that I own it! LETâS RIDE!!
