Once intended as a feature for Johnny Depp, the long-germinating film adaptation of Marvel Comics' cult title Ghost Rider stars Nicolas Cage as motorcyclist Johnny Blaze, who transforms into a skull-faced angel of vengeance to battle the forces of evil. Though perhaps a bit mature for the role, Cage brings a degree of humour to the outrageous proceedings; he's well matched by the Easy Rider himself Peter Fonda, amusingly cast as Mephistopheles, the demon with whom Blaze strikes a bargain to save his father, and in turn, causes his transformation into Ghost Rider. Wes Bentley is also fine as Blackheart, the rebellious offspring of Mephistopheles, and Blaze's chief opponent in the film. They're joined by a solid supporting cast which includes Donal Logue, Eva Mendes and Sam Elliott, but their participation and a relentless barrage of CGI effects can't hide the fact that the story itself, though largely faithful to its comic origins, is rife with clichéd characterisations and B-movie dialogue. Fans of the venerable title may cry foul over this adaptation (as they did over helmer Mark Steven Johnson's previous comic-to-movie feature, Daredevil), but less stringent viewers may enjoy the fiery visuals and Cage's typically quirky performance. --Paul Gaita

4.0 out of 5 stars ghost rider ignites the screen, 8 Jul 2007
By Mr. Tw Harrisson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Most reviews of this film have been apathetic at best but i'd be inclined to be a little more generous.
Compared to some of Cage's recent efforts it's a step up. He has a passion for this comic, which he mentions in interview, he even has a tattoo of it and this enthusiasm comes through in his performance. Graphic novel anoraks will tell you that this is one of the most faithful adaptations to screen yet, they'll probably also tell you that having eye-candy like Eva Mendes in the film didn't do it any harm either...and they'd be right.
Mark Steven Johnson (also director of Daredevil) has done a good job with the adaptation, but having watched either Daredevil or Ghost Rider it's obvious that dialog isn't his strong point. Despite Cage's passion for the role, if you're expecting academy award winning acting from this flick, you're gonna be sorely disappointed. That said, Peter Fonda is very well cast as Mephistopholes and Wes Bentley does a good job at playing the bad-guy particularly in comparison to his slightly wet counter-parts.
The order of the day then; sit back, disengage the brain and enjoy the action as Ghost Rider literally ignites the screen with perpetual flames, even when not literal the fire imagery is ever present.
On Blu ray this looks even sharper than in the cinema, it really is stunning.
The extended cut runs for about an extra 13 minutes, and there are some nice featurettes on the extras disc. On the whole, a worthwhile purchase if you're a Marvel fan, or if you just fancy a good action flick.

4.0 out of 5 stars MARVEL-ous!, 21 Oct 2007
By Angela Matthews "angie, mum of 2 boys" (suffolk, england) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Expected nothing , got loads from this film! My hubby generally dislikes the comic-book genre but he loved this too. Nic Cage is a wee bit Elvisy at times but that soon changes when he becomes.....oh, no! I mustn't spoil it! We loved the kitchy cheesiness and giggled all the way through. Thouroughly entertaining movie...fun,fun,fun!. Worth watching just for the gorgeous Eva Mendes who is as red-hot as the special effects!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nicholas Cage Blazes onto Screen with Great Effect, 10 Jun 2008
By M. C. Crawley "Martin Crawley" (Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Don't listen to the negative reviews on this one as this is a sheer adrenalin filled action fantasy film with special effects to die for...Now let's get one thing out of the way this is based on a Marvel comic story just like spiderman so it's not to be taken too seriously....Nicholas Cage is Johnny Blaze played by intially a teenage hormone prone sidekick at the start who happens to be a great stuntman on a bike...he falls in love with a local girl again played by a different actress in teenage years to be grown up into Eva Mendes (pheeeeeeeew)....Cage's father develops cancer which Cage is unaware of as the very same night he learns this, is the night he wants to go a.w.o.l. with his teenage sweetheart who is moving town so they plan to run away together....however once Cage learns of his fathers health he is visited by a dark stranger who promises to cure his father by morning if he sells his soul to him....the Devil played by Peter Fonda (who also appeared with Jack Nicholson in Easy Rider) ...Next morning comes and whilst Cage's father is cured of Cancer all does'nt go to plan and Cage finds himself as the Devil's Bounty Hunter thus The Legend of The Ghost Rider.....with Sam Neill (Roadhouse) and Wes Bentley who plays Blackheart the wayward Devil's son who wants to run the show then this can only mean one thing.....the biggest showdown in screen special effects as they are amazing....This is a high octane fantasy film with great imagination. Cage plays the role well as he is tongue in cheek with his Carpenters music and jelly beans. Eva Mendes just looks good and the picture as well as the sound are just outstanding in a reference quality blu-ray....buy it you'll love it
