I haven't read any Ghost Rider comics. A friend of mine has requested me from a long time to watch Ghost Rider - he says he loves this film, it's one of his favourites. I decided to check it out and unfortunately I didn't enjoyed it that much. Not an awful film, not a great film - in the middle. First of I'm going to list what I like about the film.
1)I know that it is based of a comic book, but the idea of a flaming skeleton riding a motorcycle, which by the way is flaming too.
2)The special effects look great!
3)Ghost Rider's look gets positive points!
4)A BIT OF A SPOILER! Caretaker looks great as a ghost rider, but even better looks like skeleton flaming horse!
5)Mephistopheles had the strongest acting in the film.
6)Blackheart's henchmen look also great!
7)One of the best scenes in the film was when Blackheart killed the people in the bar in the dessert. There was great atmosphere.
8)The action sequences were awesome.
9)Cool bits of the soundtrack.
10)Nostalgia Critic's review of the film made me laugh, so this is also a plus.
Now let's see what I didn't liked about the film.
1)The acting wasn't that good.
2)The romance between Johnny and Roxanne was a weak element. At a moment you feel that Johnny is kinda of an a-hole to her and she doesn't realizes it.
3)The writing wasn't all that good.
4)I thought Blackheart's henchmen were defeated too fast and if felt rushed.
5)Blackheart was a bit weak villain.
6)Watching CinemaSins's video about the film made me don't like it more.
Overall Ghost Rider falls as a mediocre film. The film has it's funny bits, but it has it's bad bits. Still it wasn't Marvel's worst film. I can have fun watching the film. From BAD 1 to EXCELLENT 6 I give Ghost Rider GOOD 3.50, which is not quite MEDIOCRE 3, not GOOD 4. I saw the sequel - Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance and I liked it more - I would give it GOOD 3.75. I hope Marvel make a reboot of Ghost Rider with Disney in the future, maybe in the 20s of XXI century. Great to see lots of people enjoying the film more than me.
