REVIEWS FOR GHOST RIDER
By any real-world standard, this is a stupid piece of junk. But it's very good at being a stupid piece of junk.
Jul 6, 2010
The worst adaptation of a Marvel Comics hero yet.
Jul 6, 2010
It’s far from a masterpiece.
Apr 29, 2009
If Nicolas Cage weren’t a goofball with a hunky physique and droll wit, this Marvel-comic-to-big-screen adaptation would have no torque at all.
Apr 23, 2009
Seeing Ghost Rider is like going to Saturday matinee serials at the Rialto eons ago. It's a fanciful, puerile experience -- a fun day out for 9-year olds. Ghost Rider is a ridiculous melange of cheesy effects, talentless extras, corny plot and insi
Feb 2, 2009
Johnson might have diverted some of his CGI budget to hire a writer to come up with a story with some internal logic -- then he could match the effects to the story rather than vice versa.
Aug 7, 2008
Bad fun if you're in the right mood, and a large part of the credit goes to Nicolas Cage.
Feb 13, 2008
It's not a complete wash, a la Catwoman, but it ain't far off.
Jan 15, 2008
Director Mark Steven Johnson is infinitely less concerned with exploring Blaze's smoldering, soul-deprived isolation than he is infatuated with the character's skull-'n'-bones imagery.
Oct 25, 2007
At nearly two hours, Ghost Rider is a little long for a guilty pleasure.
Sep 22, 2007
Easily joins the ranks of ... throw-away superhero movies made for a quick buck.
Jul 14, 2007
... Ghost Rider still manages to be a pretty enjoyable diversion if you don't hold it under close scrutiny. Or better yet, any scrutiny. (Extended Cut)
Jul 11, 2007
Ghost Rider as a whole adopts Cage's personality, which means it's watchable but seems to be kidding around a lot.
Jul 6, 2007
Ghost Rider fails for the same reason every bad movie does: poor storytelling and bad acting.
Jun 25, 2007
The movie has the look and feel of a western. The final showdown is in a ghost town in the desert.
May 22, 2007
An abysmal excuse of a film featuring Nicolas Cage's worst performance yet and only marginally improving on the Spawn formula.
Apr 28, 2007

Apr 18, 2007
Cage has to collect Satan's unpaid debts, meaning that he becomes a demon biker with a flaming skull for a head - and that's about it for this one-note film.
Mar 30, 2007
No skimpily dressed Satan-worshipping babes like in the original comics, alas. . .
