Ghostrider is a brilliantly designed character . The chain ,the bike ,
the flaming skull for a head -he's just plain cool. In fact hes TOO
cool - it seems that in any comic , cartoon or game hes involved with,
he always comes out as the most interesting thing.

It works the same way with the movie: seeing ghost rider in action
provides almost all of the films entertainment value. Watching him ride
down buildings , fight villains and flip the bird to the police is a
cool sight to behold. When hes not on screen though ,things aren't that
interesting. Nicholas cage is funny and quirky as johnny blaze and eva
mendes is impossibly sexy (as per usual)but for the most part its all
very cheesy and feels rushed and episodic.Also, the villains are
frustratingly lame , including black heart who's severely downgraded
from his comic book incarnation.

When sitting through ghostrider , your best bet is to wait for the
flaming skullhead to show up- watching him do his thing is tons of fun.
Sadly the same cant be said about the rest of the movie.While its not
bad it doesn't quite do ghostrider justice . Why ? Because hes TOO
cool..........
