People are definitely overthinking this movie. It could be that there are some that are fans of the comic and didn't think that the movie was true to that. But the movie itself was entertaining.

YOU'RE STEPPING ON KAREN
Wanting to see Ghost Rider 2, I realized I had never seen the first one. I obtained this new copy at my W-Mart $5.00 bin. I liked the sound track which includes the fine classic rock Satanic songs of Ozzy, ZZ, and the Carpenters. Cage sells his soul to the devil, former Easy Rider Peter Fonda and becomes his bounty hunter in the form of Ghost Rider. The movie is rather boring until we get the transformation, although it tries to keep us entertained.
The highlight for me was the interview Eva Mendes conducts with a punk girl who describes Ghost Rider. "His head was all like in flames...but he made it look good." Sam Elliot ensures the picture will remain a cult classic.
No f-bombs, sex, or nudity. I am looking forward to the sequel.
A Great Thrill Ride
Ghost Rider

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. 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. 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). 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. Nicolas Cage did a great job playing Ghost Rider and of course it's always nice to see Eva Mendes on screen of course. 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. But hopefully there will a more challenging villain if they do a Ghost Rider 2. Overall i'd recommend this movie and I hope they do a Ghost Rider 2.
