![]() ![]() Overall i'd recommend this movie and I hope they do a Ghost Rider 2. But hopefully there will a more challenging villain if they do a Ghost Rider 2. The only thing that I didn't like about this movie is how they decided to put in a villain who turned out to be an easy defeat instead of picking one that would be more of a challenge but then again it's an origin movie so everything has to start off easy i guess. Nicolas Cage did a great job playing Ghost Rider and of course it's always nice to see Eva Mendes on screen of course. A few years later, Johnny's path crosses again with Mephistopheles to give up his soul to have Johnny become the fiery bounty hunter of hell, Ghost Rider in order to take down Blackheart (Wes Bentley), a son and enemy of Mephistopheles. So anyway, Nicolas Cage plays the wild stunt biker, Johnny Blaze who makes a deal to Mephistopheles (Peter Fonda) in order to save his father and in return has to forget about his life and his love, Roxanne Simpson (Eva Mendes). This movie is almost like the Blade movies in terms of how Ghost Rider fights evil that's from hell but this is way better than Blade. There's an easy advice to watch this film: Watch it for Nicolas Cage.Ghost Rider Starring: Nicolas Cage, Eva Mendes, Peter Fonda, Wes Bentley, Donal Logue and Sam Elliot Genre: Action/Fantasy/Drama/Thriller Rated: PG-13 Ghost Rider is just one of those movies where you don't have to take it so seriously in order to like it. It's short, it's dumb, but has its enjoyment. Let me say that it's a crazy version of last year's Priest but with better action scenes and there's a nut main hero than a bland one. It's hard to take this film so seriously. Or someone who wants to see something ridiculously insane. The people who likes Nicolas Cage and Neveldine/Taylor will enjoy this a lot. But the action is bigger but the plot is just little. Some people might get disappointed if they expect something bigger. The camera is shaky but it's well shot and made the action more exciting even in 2D. The new skull design of Ghost Rider looks more awesome than the first one. Even in the single glance, you know he could be a dangerous bad guy. Aside from Cage, Idris Elba and John Whitworth are both fun and awesome. Do the most ridiculous things with the power. Yes, flaming awesome and disintegrating bad guys. With its well shot shaky camera and its non-stop booming. Feels like it's one of the trippiest films I have ever seen. There's a perfect chemistry between their directing and Nicolas Cage's rage. ![]() Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor uses a lot of their trademarks and gives plenty of insanity in some scenes. This may not be the same performance from the first film but this new Blaze is more entertaining and ridiculously hilarious. With awkward dialogue and awkward moments. But stories are still important in films and that is the main flaw of this. Though, there are some brooding but mostly is riding. But chasing is what's best in a Ghost Rider film. The whole film is just chasing and protecting a boy. The only thing that stays here is Nicolas Cage. The flashback of Johnny Blaze's deal is different from the first movie. Some people may be disappointed but if you're in for some crazy Nicolas Cage and some crazy action then you're going to enjoy this. Also, there's the Crank directors, Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, using their shaky camera and directing style. This is probably one of his craziest performance since Bad Lieutenant. Thankfully, there's Nicolas Cage who's spicing things up with his crazy insane performance. Unfortunately, the story is weak and the script has its awkwardness scattered. In this film, it gets focused to the plot. ![]() The biggest problem of the first Ghost Rider movie is it doesn't have enough riding, no action, and it focuses more to the romance between Johnny Blaze and Roxanne. ![]()
