Ghost Rider (Extended Cut) [Blu-ray] Reviews By Customers

FANTASTIC EFFECTS!!!

However, I DON'T recall Johnny Blaze being Elvis Presley or even a somewhat retarded acting Elvis Presley.

I like Nic Cage but seriously a lamo adaption.

And what was that stupid line "...any man that would sell his soul for love..." WTF???

All that glimmers is not gold.. - Killer Potato -
The special effects are quite excellent.. But..

If you paint a turd gold you still are left with a gold colored turd.

Anybody who read the comics should be insulted.. anybody who didn't probably should feel that way as well if only due to the lack of any real acting by a rather good cast of actors most of which have enjoyed in other films.

Personal Note/Whine:
Worst part of this movie for me was seeing what they thought was Blackheart.. They took the son of the Devil of the marvel universe and cut off his balls.. at least they didn't make him sparkle when exposed to sunlight and give him a boy band make over.. no... wait.. I guess can only be glad they didn't make him sparkle and did a decent job with the eyeliner...

A weak movie saved by the finale - Ashtar Command - Stockholm, Sweden
"Ghost Rider" is an action movie starring Nicolas Cage as Johnny Blaze, a good guy who by mistake sells his soul to the Devil (called Mephistopheles in the movie). With the help of supernatural powers, Blaze morphs into Ghost Rider, the Devil's own bounty hunter. Strangely, he can use the devilish powers for good ends, something that eventually enables him to turn on Mephistopheles himself.

The movie is quite weak, as movies based on comics tend to be. The plot is illogical at times. "Ghost Rider" is saved to some extent by the dramatic finale, where Johnny Blaze confronts Blackheart, a fallen angel who has come to create Hell on Earth.

Most of "Ghost Rider" only deserves two stars, but because of the ending, I give it three.

A weird fact: when I watched this film on Swedish TV, all cable channels suddenly went off line in my neighbourhood, immediately before the rider's last stand with Blackheart! Creepy. Is Mephisto watching us, or...?
