Summary:

Legend has it that once a man sold his soul to the devil blah blah -- you know the drill. This man became the Ghost Rider, the devil’s bounty hunter who has to track down fugitives who escaped from hell. In this generation, young Johnny Blaze (Matt Long), a daredevil Evil Knievel-like stunt driver, signs a contract with the devil to save his father. Years later, just when older Johnny Blaze (Nicolas Cage) meets his lost love Roxanne Simpson (Eva Mendes), the devil summons him to destroy Blackheart (Wes Bentley) and his gang of fallen angels, the Hidden or Nephilim.

At night or in the presence of evil, the Ghost Rider has the ability to transform into a flaming skeleton with somewhat superhuman powers and the power of the “Penance Stare” that lets a sinner feel all the pain he has caused to others. There is also some lost ancient contract involved that the first Ghost Rider stole when he turned against his hellish master, and for some reason both the devil and Blackheart want to have this contract.

Review: Average movie, not as it was promised to be, maybe one of Nicolas Cage’s worst movies ever…

My Honest Rating: 5.5/10
