In order to save his dying father, young stunt cyclist Johnny Blaze sells his soul to Mephistopheles and sadly parts from the pure-hearted Roxanne Simpson, the love of his life. Years later, Johnny's path crosses again with Roxanne, now a go-getting reporter, and also with Mephistopheles, who offers to release Johnny's soul if Johnny becomes the fabled, fiery 'Ghost Rider'.

Ghost Rider is the second Marvel Movie written and directed by Mark Steven Johnson, after Daredevil (2003). This movie is just awesome! My favorite actor plays my favorite hero! The special effects are what I expected for the movie! The story tries to respect well the comics (Johnny Blaze signs a pact with the Devil to heal his father and his girlfriend is Roxanne Simpson), but takes liberties (Johnny Blaze doesn't live with Crash Simpson, but his real father Barron Blaze, not in New York, but in a circus, then he owns a house with a garage in a city in Texas. The only bad points I have is Blackheart, played by Wes Bentley. In the comics, he's a demon, but he looks like an animal, he's blue, he's got a tail, he's got red eyes, no mouth (but he talks), dreadlocks (blue). I don't know why everyone hates this movie. It was released in the period when the Marvel movies like Daredevil, Hulk, the Punisher and Elektra were bashed (Elektra deserved it). If you haven't seen the movie, own it on DVD or Blu-Ray and watch it!!!
Ghost Rider came out (2007) I loved this film in the cinema its one of marvel lesser known film in 1h 54min | Action, Fantasy, Thriller Directed Mark Steven Johnson who done the unloved daredevil this a fine job of mixing cgi with live action When the motorcyclist Johnny Blaze finds that his father Barton Blaze has a terminal cancer, he accepts a pact with the Mephistopheles, giving his soul for the health of his beloved father. But the devil deceives him, and Barton dies in a motorcycle accident during an exhibition. Johnny leaves the carnival, his town, his friends and his girlfriend Roxanne. Years later Johnny Blaze becomes a famous motorcyclist, who risks his life in his shows, and he meets Roxanne again, now a TV reporter. However, Mephistopheles proposes Johnny to release his contract if he become the "Ghost Rider" and defeat his evil son Blackheart, who wants to possess one thousand evil souls and transform hell on earth. Hell Is About To Be Unleashed with an enormous budget$110,000,000 (estimated) it had an Opening Weekend:$52,022,908 and it grossed 130millin American and world wide gross$315,802,596 Nicolas Cage is hilarious. He has a face that is like a silent movie actors and I kept thinking about movies like Nosferatu or Phantom of the Opera. He's been waiting for years to play this role and you can really feel how much fun he's having just going crazy, especially in the first scene when Johnny Blaze turns into the Ghost Rider. The movie just borders on the edge of campy but always manages to pull itself back before going to far. And Sam Elliott. It's got Sam Elliot. What more could you ask for? His curse has become his power with astonishing special with the character is an uncompromising bad ass johnny blaze suits nick cage down to a tie over the top character he was only a teenage stunt biker when he sold his soul to the devil peter Fonda character years later johnny is a world renowned daredevil by day a and a ghost-rider at night of marvel back catolougue legend as t devil sidekick bounty hunter he is looking after evil souls on earth and throwing to hell but in a cruel twist of fate johnny comes back to his first love eve Mendez who is a journalist johnny blaze thinks he might still have some chance if he can beat the devil and win his soul back to do so he will have to defeat black heart the devils son played by wes Bentley traces of around with detectives gathering info as they wreck the city and ghost-rider making a mess of the roads with his flames from his bike and his motley crew come for ghost-rider and leave hell bent on getting what he wants his wayward son whose plotting to take over his fathers realm and collide hell with earth unless ghost-rider can think of a plan in time.and with the caretaker taking care of his soul he is also on one last ride to hell with his double act with the ghost-rider in the old west
Stunt motorcyclist Johnny Blaze gives up his soul to become a hellblazing vigilante, to fight against power hungry Blackheart, the son of the devil himself. Ghost Rider is not the mess that many people would like you to think it is and it's also directed by the guy who made Daredevil with Ben Affleck another not so bad movie and although Ghost Rider wasn't as good as that one it was a nice movie sure the villains were generic and had some dumb plans that was in the end their ultimate defeat also the movie has some very awkward conversations and jokes and even some over the top cgi but Ghost Rider has more good than bad than you might think one is the monster itself The Rider looks amazing and sounds amazing, the acting is fine nothing great but fine and the cgi 90% of it it's pretty awesome especially when Cage changes into Ghost Rider and also this movie has this epic shot of 2 Riders side by side one with a motorcycle and the other in the horse and you have this badass song in the background and basically the film is pretty awesome sure there are some problems like i said mostly the villain Blackheart that sounds like a 15 year old but that doesn't mean that it's like the worst movie of all time it's nowhere as bad as Fan4stic or Batman & Robin that's for sure 9/10.
(40%) One of those movies in which the makers spent ten times more time and effort in one single effect sequence than the entire script, as this has some of the very worst lines of dialogue in any film outside of the Star wars prequels. Nic Cage really earned his pay cheque here not through his performance but through his epic level of fitness, there's hardly an ounce of lard on him, which again doesn't really add anything to this hollow, somewhat silly film. It's best to think of this more as a big budget B- movie than the mass of other stronger Marvel movies. This isn't anything to really shout about, though I largely found it to be harmless fun and as such I highly doubt this is anywhere near to being the worst comic book effort.
