    An definite mix of supernatural horror & high-octane comic book action. There are a few flaws but it's not Shakesphere, it's a comic book action movie. So, don't think, just watch & enjoy.

    This is modern day cgi crap, the whole thing is very weak, no balls about it. Aimed at the teens it lacks any grit or realism and even worse...it looks plastic and tacky. Cage was also a bad choice.

    The graphics were tight, but I was disappointed at the overall outlook, I had big expectations for this film, but it was lacking, there could have been more suspense and a tad more action...Nic Cage was a good choice for the character though and the rest of the cast was a pretty ... ...( read more )

    This film was okay. I'm impressed by Cage's versatility as an actor. I mean, he can do it all. And by "all" I mean ALL.

The real evil in this flick isn't Blackheart (Wes Bentley), the devil's son, it's the soul-sucking devil of modern cinema: Hollywood formula. full review

Pete Hammond, Maxim

Its clear this director has sold HIS soul to a bunch of special effects wizards who certainly supply the hardware but drown out the human element. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

Ghost Rider isn't good but if you catch the spirit of it, it's not terrible. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe

Ghost Rider is the kind of movie that's great stupid fun as long as someone else is buying the tickets. full review

Kurt Loder, MTV

The best that can be said about this movie, which is quite bad, is that it's not a complete surprise. full review

Kyle Smith, New York Post

The movie could have been saved, though, if it had cut the puns of the kind that made us all flee Batman and Robin. full review

    The movie was a special effects dream come true,cause this could've been really god awful,but they pulled off the burning skull,and wheels.Blackheart could've been more true to the comic,but hey it still was okay.
