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.

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.

Bad fun if you're in the right mood, and a large part of the credit goes to Nicolas Cage.

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.

... 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)

Ghost Rider as a whole adopts Cage's personality, which means it's watchable but seems to be kidding around a lot.

Ghost Rider fails for the same reason every bad movie does: poor storytelling and bad acting.

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.
