Exciting

Rating: 8/10 (18 February 2007)

Ghost Rider is about stunt man Johnny Blaze (Nicholas Cage) who's father is dying of cancer. When Johnny finds this out that his father Barton Blaze is dying the devil or Mephistopheles (Peter Fonda) visits Johnny and offers his his father's heath for his soul. In the deal the Mephistopheles will leave Johnny alone until he needs him to do his bidding. Johnny excepts and the next morning his father is cured. But Mephistopheles tricked Johnny and during a stunt the next day Johnny's father dies. When Barton dies Johnny leaves the town and his girlfriend Roxanne Simpson (Eva Mendes) behind. When Johnny gets older he becomes a professional stunt man who travels the country doing dangerous stunts on his motorcycle without ever getting injured. When Roxanne comes back into Johnny's life everything changes. When Johnny is about to leave to meet Roxanne odd things start happening and Mephistopheles shows up. Mephistopheles' son Blackheart (Wes Bentley) shows up and wants to create hell on earth. Now Johnny is turned into Ghost Rider and must defeat Blackheart with the help of a cemetery caretaker (Sam Elliott) in order to win back his freedom from Mephistopheles.
Ghost Rider started out slow but eventually got very exciting. Although Ghost Rider was not as good as I had expected I still enjoyed it very much. Ghost Rider had a good story, a cool hero, cool bad guys and a lot of good action. Ghost Rider is not for little kids. Although it has very little swearing it still is very creepy for little kids mostly because of the bad guys and how Ghost Rider kills the bad guys (Ghost Rider makes his victims look into his eyes and see all of the evil they have ever done and makes them feel the pain). All in all the movie was very enjoyable.
