Nicholas Cage’s character Johnny, blazes the big screen as the Ghost Rider with intense visual effects and the fight for the balance of good and evil. Although Ghost Rider is directed by Mark Steven Johnson, the director of the mediocre motion picture called Daredevil that starred Ben Affleck. Mark reestablishes his credibility as he does a fine job directing and capturing the essence of the gothic personalities of the Ghost Rider being the devil’s supernatural bounty hunter. Also actor Nicolas Cage helps his reputation with being taking the role as Johnny Blaze/Ghost Rider after starring in The Wicker Man. Ghost Rider was slated to be released in 2006 but was held back in order to include some additional scenes and touchups on special effects.

This motion picture has stayed true to the Ghost Rider’s appearance in the Marvel comics by containing the flaming skull, hellcycle, hellfire, and chains. I’m a comic book fan and I was tremendously excited about the release of this film, ever since the debut at the San Diego Comic Con 2006. This film has captured a lot of hype due to the visual effects and also it is another comic book adaptation. The heart and soul of Ghost Rider really relies on its visual attributes that distinguish it as a Marvel comic’s film.

Ghost Rider is based on the popular cult classic comic book character from Marvel that is from hell. The story goes when Johnny Blaze (Nicolas Cage) sells his soul to the devil, Mephistopheles (Peter Fonda) for his daredevil motorcyclist father, Barton Blaze. But when Barton Blaze dies from a stunt accident, the deal goes sour. Mephistopheles takes Johnny to hell and away from his childhood companion, Roxanne Simpson (Eva Mendes). The devil soon makes a pact with Johnny as he will take the spirit of vengeance and become Mephistopheles’ bounty hunter called the Ghost Rider in return for his life on Earth. Years later Johnny mysteriously returns and comes back as a stunt motorcyclist.

But when news reporter Roxanne Simpson questions Johnny’s disappearance and his persona, they mutually afterward try to rekindle an old flame. Mephistopheles calls on the Johnny Blaze/Ghost Rider to retrieve the runaway son and nemesis, Blackheart (Wes Bentley). Although when Johnny Blaze/Ghost Rider later finally realizes why Blackheart has escaped from hell, he is assisted by his mentor and friend Caretaker (Sam Elliot) to control his powers and abilities. It is up to the Ghost Rider to get on his hellcycle and defeat Blackheart and his wicked crew called The Hidden as they attempt to create hell on Earth.

I thought Ghost Rider might have been pretty cheesy with the flaming skull graphics and of course some of the acting with some of the villains in the story. This film contains a very dark tone and is blended with a bit of romance that is heated up with Nicholas Cage and Eva Mendes. I’m a fanatic about comics and adaptations and I thought Ghost Rider truly redeemed Mark Steven Johnson’s career after his directing of Daredevil. Some of the cons in this film are the eerie cheesy voiceover for the characters such as some of the villains and Ghost Rider. I thought that the movie should have had a better usage of the voiceover and made this film much more frightening because after all the hero of this story has a flaming skull.

Different from most superhero genre films that the monstrous character is the hero rather than the villain which is similar to the motion picture called Spawn. Another flaw of the film is that some of the scenes were much anticipated. I’d be happy to see another Ghost Rider motion picture as like a sequel but it needs to fix upon its mistakes that it has done from this movie.

I recommend Ghost Rider for the many fans of the cult classic flaming skull hero and to people that are also fans of the Spawn comic books. Of course remember that this film is in fact a visually impressive film that blazes the big screen. Ghost Rider time closes in at around 1 hour and 54 minutes, not really what I was expecting when I went into the theaters. But I was left with awe with the CGI that was presented with the maneuvering of the graphics for the fire and the powers and characteristics that were shown to the film directly from the comic books. I enjoyed Ghost Rider because I’m a fan of the comic books and really enjoy some of the adaptations that are transferred to the big screen.
