This will probably be the shortest review I've ever written because I'm laughing and applauding so hard--so uncontrollably, I can't quit shaking or still my hands long enough to type!
I know, I know! Ghost Rider (Full Screen Edition) is a supernatural thriller and a decent one at that, so I'm not supposed to laugh. I assure you, I'm not laughing AT the movie, I'm ROTFLMAO with DELIGHT at the animation, graphics, and special effects. The fiery visuals lit my fire! Spontaneous combustion!
You see, I'm a graphic/animation/special effects freak; that's what turns me on!
I was as caught up in the plot of Ghost Rider (Full Screen Edition) as I am with most movies, enjoying it in a normal way ... but when the great Nicolas Cage (motorcyclist Johnny Blaze) metamorphoses into the Ghost Rider--a flaming skull-headed monster--and his chopper lights up like a million candles, I loooooved it.
The scenes where Cage (Blaze) rides the highway ... body, head and cool chopper spitting fire as he roars along, literally incinerating everything in his path ... well, they're stupendous. Filmed on nights as black as Satan's soul, everything but Cage and his bike is stark dark, creating startling contrasts as the blazing bike and burning biker lick out at the darkness with searing tongues of hungry fire.
And wait till you see cowboy Sam Elliot, the first Ghost Rider, riding his flaming horse alongside Cage's fiery chopper. I've heard of burning rubber, but these two Ghost Riders torch that road, leaving fiery tracks and the skeletons of incinerated animals in their wake! Awesome! That's my favorite scene in the entire movie. (Can't you picture Elliot's genial, yet weathered face--with that trademark, lop-sided smirk--as he passes the reins of power on to Cage, the next skull-faced angel of vengeance who must battle the forces of evil?)
Good acting! Good casting! Outstanding photography! Colossal effects! Director Mark Steven Johnson can film my movie any time he wants!
Since the original inspiration for the character was "Ghost Riders in the Sky," a song made popular by Vaughn Monroe in the late '40s, you might want to hear Monroe sing the song as you view a YouTube video that also has some fantastic visuals: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xsfw9CEQITA
No need for me to go into the plot because the Amazon description at top of product page does that so well, even giving some spoilers for good measure. But spoilers or not, Marvel comics fan or not, I think you'll enjoy this movie. (This review wasn't so short after all; the subject fired me up! ... lol)

Because it is bad on SO many levels. Bad in the cheesy and ridiculous dialog, bad in its one dimensional characterizations, bad in its hollywood Faust by committee script, bad in Nicolas Cage's age inappropriate dyed black hair and over the top "acting", bad in that I wasted time, money and effort on a movie that doesn't know who it's audience is: children, teenagers or perhaps very undiscerning (or stoned) adults. This movie is final proof that Nicholas Cage will act in any movie so long as the price is right, as though National Treasure or The Wicker Man wasn't proof enough. Eva Mendez is even worse, but she was obviously chosen because of her looks, not her acting ability. There is NO chemistry, nada, zip, between her and Cage's Johnny Blaze. The worst comic movie ever and yes I'm including Halle Berry's Catwoman, Electra and the theatrical release of Ben Gagfleck's Daredevil. Oh and watch for Sam Elliot once again doing his schtick, complete with f**king cowboy hat, as the wise outsider, in this case a gravedigger, youch. It's as stupid a movie as ever came out of Hollywood and a huge disservice to a character I loved as a kid. At one point Nick says the line "Is this thing ever going to end?" MST3K where are you?

This movie is great, if U like candy coated turds!!!!! Whatta load of grass clippings!!! (no PROFANITY) The start of movie was actally pretty good, the orgin of Johnny and his dead father (actually touching) and the intro of the villians wasn't bad!!
What happened??? where did this movie go wrong. Bad characterization??? Devil/hell rules and regulations??? Need a schith to dissolve demons??? What??? WHere??? How???
Okay. At least it wasn't Electra (the worst of all Comic book movies, Marvel or otherwise!!!!)!!! That ain't sayin' much.
And, what's worse, is the movie sold very well. So, look forward to GRII!!! And don't get me started on the first HULK (w/Eric Banana)fiasco!! He looked like green jello!!! The HULK is not made of green jello!!!

Ghost Rider
Ghost Rider is probably one of the most horrible films that my eyes have ever had the dissatisfaction of viewing. Literally every thing went wrong in this movie. The CG is horrible. The writing is horrible. The action is nonexistent. The fact that you are even looking up this DVD is shameful.
The story...I don't even want to have to explain this crap because it was so bad. Johnny Blaze and his father Barton Blaze are carnival workers who amaze audiences with their motorcycles stunts. Johnny is in love with a woman named Roxanne and they want to run away together. Johnny soon realizes his father has Cancer and is very upset by it. So he goes to the carnival to play with his bikes. Suddenly the Devil shows up and says that he'll cure Barton's Cancer if Johnny will sign his soul over. Johnny accepts and Barton's cancer goes away. Then, the Devil turns out to be a complete a-hole and kills his father anyway. The Devil tells him to forget about his friends, family, and loved ones. So he does and rides off.
Johnny, played by Nicolas Cage, goes on to live a fairly normal life. Oddly enough he has friends and still remembers everything about the girl he once loved. Obviously the Devil had no idea what he was doing. The Devil then tells Johnny that he's going to have to kill Blackheart and The Hidden Ones. Yes, that is what they are called.
The beginning segment that shows his carnival days with his dad is horrible. The entire part is full of bad acting, bad CG, and bad everything. His later years are basically the same thing. The Hidden Ones are elemental demons that Johnny seems to be fighting for no reason, but lack anything really cool about them. Nicolas Cage literally kills all of them in one swift move. If all else fails, he uses his stare of death. Yes...he stares at them...to death. He was wasting his time; he could've just made them watch this movie and they would've died. After he completely dominants these villains you will hear great lines like "It's time to clear the air" or some random laugh. This is all added in with the fact that he has this evil demon voice and sounds like a 12-year-old girl when he acts that way. It eliminates any possibility of Ghost Rider having anything cool about him at all. The entire thing is so cheesy you'll think you've become a cheese nip.
At least you get some cool fight scenes right? The movie Bambi had more action in it. Nicolas Cage just waves his badly computer generated chain around and the bad guys just vanish...or he stares at them and they die. I mean...this is pathetic.
Overall this movie has no redeeming qualities to it at all. If you loved the comic book, don't watch this movie. If you love movies, don't watch it. If you love your kids, don't watch this because I am afraid of what might happen to them in your rage over this movie. Don't give them the stare of death!
