![]() ![]() ![]() The movie manages to pack in every comic book and action movie cliché imaginable, laughable casting, an illogical script, wooden acting, and jarring direction for straight-faced amusement. Sadly, though, it's all unintentional humor. Blackheart threaten to bring hell to earth with these 1000 demons! Here Blaze mission start as an incredible action quest as this new Rider! 7/10, good work of Mark Steven Johnson in another of his hero movies, and a good performance of Cage and great special effects!. Mephistopheles order him to defeat his "cold" son Blackheart (Wes Bentley) who wanted to claim the old contract of San Venganza, with the help of other demons that represented the natural elements earth, water and air this contract was hidden by a previous Rider to the devil, in order to prevent the possession of 1000 souls!. Suddenly he meet again with Roxane, but in that moment, Mephistopheles claimed the right for Johny's services, and turn him in a Ghost Rider, one of the servants of the devil that looked at night like a skeleton on fire. Johny has his soul sold, and loses his all-life love, Roxanne (Eva Mendes), years later Blaze became a famous motorcyclist, who performed very dangerous shows with a great team leaded by Mack (Donal Logue) he even jumped over helicopters. Eva Mendes is absolutely beautiful as always! ABOUT THE MOVIE: Nicolas Cage plays here Johny Blaze, a motorcyclist that used to make dangerous shows with his father Barton Blaze (Brett Cullen), when doctors detected to his father a cancer in his terminal stage, a demon called Mephistopheles (Peter Fonda) offers to save him in change for his soul Johny do this, but this demon or devil, deceived Johny, when at the next day his father dies on an accident in the show. Great special effects and night scenes that put a special charm in the film. It isn't an Oscar worth movie, but is a film to have a good time, is fun, entertaining, with action, and the type of movie that you can see in company with kids. A superhero that fight evil of the worst kind!, just great, a combination of a superhero and some horror - type characters great complement!. Now that i saw the movie, i was amazed of the great story behind this guy. I had been a Superman fan all my live, but in the comic stores the character of Ghost Rider had some attraction to me, as the non-typical superhero. I really had a great time watching this film although i have never been a Ghost Rider Fan, i loved comic books. Overall i'd recommend this movie and I hope they do a Ghost Rider 2. But hopefully there will a more challenging villain if they do a Ghost Rider 2. The only thing that I didn't like about this movie is how they decided to put in a villain who turned out to be an easy defeat instead of picking one that would be more of a challenge but then again it's an origin movie so everything has to start off easy i guess. Nicolas Cage did a great job playing Ghost Rider and of course it's always nice to see Eva Mendes on screen of course. A few years later, Johnny's path crosses again with Mephistopheles to give up his soul to have Johnny become the fiery bounty hunter of hell, Ghost Rider in order to take down Blackheart (Wes Bentley), a son and enemy of Mephistopheles. So anyway, Nicolas Cage plays the wild stunt biker, Johnny Blaze who makes a deal to Mephistopheles (Peter Fonda) in order to save his father and in return has to forget about his life and his love, Roxanne Simpson (Eva Mendes). This movie is almost like the Blade movies in terms of how Ghost Rider fights evil that's from hell but this is way better than Blade. Ghost Rider Starring: Nicolas Cage, Eva Mendes, Peter Fonda, Wes Bentley, Donal Logue and Sam Elliot Genre: Action/Fantasy/Drama/Thriller Rated: PG-13 Ghost Rider is just one of those movies where you don't have to take it so seriously in order to like it.
