Great visual effects, gloriously sexy leading lady but poor acting, and inconsistent plot.

Rating: 4/10 (9 June 2007)

This is an adaptation of a Marvel comic book hero that rides a flaming motorbike whose skull is on fire. He harvests the souls for the devil or some grim morbid task along those lines. This is kind of an antihero in that he is tainted with a curse.
Eva Mendes is our leading lady and she's super hot so you may just want to suffer through the dumb stuff to see her walk around and look sexy and then there's some cool fire effects with the superhero stuff.
The acting is pretty lame, because Nicholas Cage can't act- that was a bad casting choice and overshadows the vibe of the movie. Some of the villains that are thrown at ghost rider could have been represented a bit more creatively, the "water elemental" was done very poorly.
PLOT: The son of the devil wants something the ghost rider has. If he doesn't cough it up - everyone he loves will get hurt. What is a ghostrider to do? :-)
