Not what it should've been (spoiliers included)

Rating: 6/10 (18 February 2007)

Ghost Rider wasn't a bad movie... It's just flawed in several areas. My #1 beef with this movie is that it feels extremely rushed, and several parts of the plot make no sense. For instance: (Spoiler starts here) Why would Carter Slade (who can only change to rider form ONE more time) change to rider form, and DO Absolutely NOTHING TO HELP BLAZE??? That was the most pointless thing in the movie. He could've just handed the contract to Blaze and said "here take this shotgun with you too", and just left, but no he changed and rode with him, and then upon arriving to their destination changes back, and just disappears??? The one part I loved about this movie was Blackheart. Wes Bently did an amazing job playing Blackheart. Even though they don't really show his true form (it fades in and out at the end), I was amazed. I hope I see more of this actor in other movies.
Fight scenes are short and unimpressive with the exception of the police pursuit.
At the end of the day, Ghost Rider is an unimpressive attempt at bringing a mediocre comic book hero (more of an anti-hero) to the big screen. It wasn't horrible, but it can't compete with the mainstream franchises. My prediction is there will be no sequel, and to be honest, it doesn't deserve one.
