It was bad.

I don't know much about Ghost Rider. What I do know is he has a wicked visual: he's a scary mofo in black leather with a burning skull for a face. Please watch this movie for a textbook on how to make that idea boring.
I liked most of the other comic book movies that came out: the Spiderman flicks ruled. Blade (the first one at least) ruled. Batman Begins was cool. I don't know what the problem with this movie is. No plot? Crappy dialog? Boring characters? There are some good ideas here, like Johnny not knowing if it is his skill that protects him, or his deal with you-know-who, but these are missed opportunities, far outweighed by boring crap. Actually, the part of the movie BEFORE ghost rider appears is much more interesting than the latter parts. Maybe because they were focusing on the characters and not the demonic effects.
Like corn? You'll get a lot of that here. The speech he gives at the end is terrible. Movies based on comics don't have to be like this. Spiderman has a heroic motivation, but he doesn't make a speech about it at the end of his movies.
Yes, Ghostrider's cg looks cool. It just needed a cool script to go along with it.
