Not perfect, but it wasn't supposed to be

Rating: 6/10 (5 May 2007)

It's exactly what it needed to be. Marvel pumps out 3 movies a year. 2 big ones, and a third movie just to be there. Ghost rider was that 3rd film and in that respect it was good. Spidey and Fantastic 4 will presumably be movies you could rank at 8 or 9, which makes ghost riders score of 6 very appropriate. It' better than average but not spectacular. Check it out at the dollar theater. Buy it if you're collect comic films.
As for the movie itself, I felt the impersonation of Mephisto was good. He was demonic enough without being over the top. The 3 goons who are pawns of Blackheart wind up as lame challenges. None of them present much of a challenge to Ghost Rider.
