Watch for visual amazement....nothing else.

If you are looking for an emotional, in depth story about a tortured hero who must search within himself....stay far away from this one. Read a bible or something. You're not wanted here.
However....
If you are looking for constant, not stop Hellfire spewing, Demon cycle riding, ridiculously devilish style and wow....then come on in and enjoy.
The story is definitely a wonderful Ghost Rider "Comic" story. Everything in this movie fits well into the comic books....obviously, a direct adaptation of the comic doesn't work well on the screen. However, like a comic book, a true fan (such as myself) gives the storyline the boot and just has a good time.
I loved this movie. The dialog was god awful and cliché'. The story was cool but had no character development what so ever. Well, not quite true...(spoiler)...the Love Interest (Eva Mendes) couldn't make up her freakin mind whether she loved Blaze (Nic Cage) or not. There is a lot of constant, flipping back and forth. I loved Mark Steven Johnson's "Daredevil" but there is a definitely lack of depth to this movie.
But who cares?
There is only one reason anybody really wants to see a "Ghost Rider" movie.
To see Ghost Rider.
And you get plenty of him. The story jumps right into Blaze making a deal with the Devil (Peter Fonda, who's having a good time with this role) and before too long he's the riding, bounty hunter from Hell. And he's fighting demons.
Which is all I wanted to see.
My biggest problem involved Caretaker (Same Elliot.) (SPOILER)
I knocked off two stars because of this...
The coolest moment is where the Western Ghost Rider and modern Ghost Rider are tearing up the desert to go defeat Black Heart. I was waiting for this moment forever!!!! A Demon Gunsliner, about to kick some Devil tucus. And guess what happens?
Johnson ruins the moment by having Caretaker take off and let Blaze do all the work. His whole point was just to lead Ghost Rider to the final battle. He just rides off and is never see again....
Such a let down...
But the movie still rules overall.
Just remember...
Ghost Rider, riding from cops and doing a lot of cool, Demon s#@#@t.
That's all that matters.
