Pros: A decent interpretation of the character
Cons: I'm still not convinced of Cage's part in the whole thing
Summary: I never pictured Nicholas Cage as a superhero of any sort and after watching Marvel Comics’ Ghost Rider, a 2007 film by Columbia Pictures, I’m justified in my conviction. Keep in mind that this is the same person who, at one point, was ... read more

Pros: A few neat action sequences...
Cons: ...Basically everything else...
Summary: I've never been a huge fan of Marvel films, or any superhero flicks for that matter. The plot always follows a simple formula that even the worst of mathematicians could compute. Something wrong always occurs to these men, they become superheros someway ... read more

Pros: special effects,Nicholas cage acting superb,fight scenes
Cons: Death of father and him leaving GF behind were not good
Summary: I went to the theater the week after Ghost Rider was released,as I didn't want to fight the crowd I saw the first weekend. At first,I though the movie was going to be boring and dull, but I love motorcycles,so I figured I would give it a chance. What ... read more

Pros: Nicholas Cage was there...
Cons: character flaws, weird story line
Summary: I've seen this film on screen and I wasn't a fan after watching it. There are a lot of negative things about the film. I think the weaknesses in the film were not brought by the actors. It was brought by the story itself. Eva Mendes was gorgeous and Wes ... read more

Pros: Nic Cage as well as the Ghost Rider's laugh.
Cons: The scripts, the direction, Eva Mendes, the characters that belong in another film, etc.
Summary: I do not know a hell of a lot about the Ghost Rider comics nor about the Ghost Rider himself, Johnny Blaze, so I'm not even going to pretend to be an expert on if this movie captures any of that source material. I can say however that the people I know ... read more

Pros: "Feel like my skull's on fire but I'm good" -- hee
Cons: Maybe the worst Marvel comic movie ever made
Summary: What kind of person goes into a movie about a flaming skeleton who rides a motorcycle and hopes for a good movie, I wondered to myself in the theater. Well, me, for one. I wasn't expecting a good movie, really, but one can hope. I don't think that ... read more

Pros: Great computer generated special effects!
Cons: Slow in some spots. Might understand better if you read the comic book.
Summary: The wife and I saw the previews for Ghost Rider of a flaming skull biker on a motorcycle. The wife stated she wanted to see it so we made it a night out with the pregnant daughter and son-in -law. My son-in - law stated he had read the Ghost Rider in ... read more

Pros: Nicolas Cage is awesome
Cons: Too much CGI
Summary: Ghost Rider is the latest comic book to be adapted into a movie, and this time it stars Nicolas Cage in the title role. As far as comic book movies go, I found this one to be very entertaining and much better than average. The story is interesting ... read more

Pros: digital effects, some decent sequences
Cons: stupid through and through
Summary: Fellow consumers, if you've seen the trailer for Ghost Rider, you have all the information you need. There it is in technicolor - Nicolas Cage riding a chrome-plated chopper, with his head on fire, his neck apple reduced to a bare skull. That's pretty ... read more

Pros: Special effects
Cons: Highly derivative; impossible to suspend disbelief
Summary: As some people will recall (with a little help from the title of this review), the idea of a heroic character forced to work for the devil who later turns on his nominal employer was the subject of a film (and a comic book) very similar to this one in ... read more

Pros: Special effects, Eva Mendes' clothing
Cons: The writing, the directing
Summary: This movie should have been a blockbuster. It has a great cast. Ditto for the special effects. It will probably be the "top grossing" movie of the weekend against some excellent competition ("Breach", "Music and Lyrics" and "Bridge to Terabithia"). ... read more

Pros: Surpassed the Hulk, good soundtrack. True to comic form.
Cons: Too much camp. Could've used longer battles and less romance
Summary: Now I went to the movie with rose colored glasses cause hey, this was to be the Rider's movie debut. Wasn't bothered with the cast, the cgi (which took a lot of time) was rather good and it wasn't Ang Lee directing. With that said, I honestly believe
