Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!

Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

eliza_gaskell If only Columbia Pictures and it's associated studios could have waited and made this film after Deadpool (2016) and Logan (2017). This movie should of been rated "R", with all the blood, gore, violence, sex and filled with every curse word under the sun and blessed with a solid storyline and exceptional director. Nevertheless, whilst it is cheesy, with poor dialogue, a God awful script and the plot is pretty basic, it is actually an enjoyable film.The Good: (1) The Special Effects for the Ghost Rider. Whenever he is on screen, blazing on his motor cycle with his flaming skull, the film picks 10 fold. The part where he jumps of the skyscraper or when Cage morphs to the ghost rider is fantastic. But those parts are far and few between in the film. (2) The A-grade actors in a (essentially) B-grade film. What this means is, there are a number of surprisingly good actors ( Nicholas Cage as Johnny Blaze and Eva Mendes as Roxanne, Sam Elliot as the Caretaker) which bring their all to a poor script. Yes the dialogue is laughable when it is delivered, but that is what makes it so enjoyable. Raquel Alessi could easily have been a Eva Mendes younger twin sister. (3) The Western tones interwoven in the film is great. The Bad: (1) The villains are so weak. Peter Fonda as the Devil gets a pass. Only because it's really good to see him on screen. BUT Wes Bentley, as main nemesis Blackhearts should of walked when he read the script. He has some of the movies worst dialogue. Sadly, unlike Cage and Mendes, he simply does not have the "knack" for delivery and his lines are dreadfully executed. (2) People who put a lot of themselves in film usually indicate they love the source material, so it is very difficult to understand if Mark Steven Johnson was either a writer/director with no balls to stand up to the studios or it was simply a job to him, (3) The plot is a no brainer. Boy loves girl. Boy mets Devil. Boy makes a deal with the Devil. Boy loses Girl. Boy becomes a flaming skull. Boy meets girl again. Thankfully the Ghost Rider, is a marginally better written script, then most Hollywood blockbusters such as Star Wars:The Clone Wars.The Ugly: (1) The biggest problem is Nicholas Cage as Johnny Blaze. In a nutshell....he was cast wrong. Look a the actor Matt Long who played an 18 year old Johnny Blaze to then 42 year old Johnny Blaze played by Nicholas Cage. The film really is asking a lot for the audience to believe they are the same person.Don't over analyse the film too much, because it create lofty expectations. Films like the Ghost Rider is a guilty pleasure, with great action, a uncomplicated plot and exceptional special effects. Hopefully this franchise gets a robot in the future and upgraded to "R" rating. PS: was going to grade the film at 7 BUT that awesome soundtrack song at the end credits by Spiderbait reworking the song "Ghost Riders in the Sky" pushed it to 8

svr-2200 Ghost Rider: Movie Review.I remember watching Ghost Rider in cinemas when it was released. I liked some parts of the film especially the character design of Ghost Rider, some Visual Effects sequences and kind of dumb but entertaining and enjoyable performance by Nicolas Cage and the film's odd humour, but the rest was film was poorly done. The plot and script was weak and characters were very underdeveloped. All over its an okay kind of film.(Please Note: That This Review represent only my professional view and my personal honest opinion about the film, and does not represent others. Thank You).

beseeryousonce Ghost Rider is the best movie ever (in my opinion). I watched it as a kid in cinemas when i was 7. The special effects are amazing and i love the acting. Nicolas cage plays his role with confidence and i love him for that. Wes Bentley (Blackheart) also does his role well. I have been hooked in this move all my life. and I'm only 17. Ghost Rider is definitely a movie i recommend you watch. The only down side is that they were suppose to be in Texas but gave the illusion away when Ghost Rider appears on the Melbourne Footbridge But everything else makes up for that little mistake. Marvel did really well with this movie and i love Mark Stephan-Johnson for directing this movie. Good Job. The movie for me gets a 10000/10 Its that good.

generationofswine Bad. Horrid. Awful.You can choose the word for it.Who is Ghost Rider? Is it Johnny Blaze or Dan Ketch? Is it the evil spirit of vengeance or the good one? It's hard to tell, mainly because the movie never seems to make that judgement call.They tried to combine them both and failed horribly.And then Blaze himself, Nick Cage just can't really pull it off. Too earnest, he over acts a little too much, he tries to make the tortured Johnny Blaze a little too light and likable, but that could just be because they couldn't decide which Ghost Rider they were depicting.Sure, it was fun watching his fiery alter-ego ride around dispensing vengeance, but in the end, at the final stand-off, we got something rushed and under-cooked.You sit down for a movie, and even on a mindless popcorn crunching level, you leave disappointed.They just can't force an audience to care at all about this Ghost Rider or his human host.
