It's been a while since we saw Nicolas Cage with a decent haircut, right? He has tried some different haircut style on his most recent films, and the truth is that none of them has really worked. But, no matter how ugly his hair might look, we can't say that he's such a good actor.
Anyway, if Ghost Rider didn't have Nicolas Cage as the lead role, the story of this film would be totally different. He gave life to the film and tried to cover the many different holes on this weak script.
Nicolas Cage is Johnny Blaze, a motorcycle stuntman who was forced to make a pact with the devil on his early years, just to save the life of his father, who was dying with a terminal cancer. Right the morning after he made this pact, his father was healthy and cured from his cancer, but he died that same day on an accident at one of his stunt acts. That day, Johnny left everything behind, especially his true and pure love Roxanne Simpson. He grew up and became a famous motorcycle while Roxanne became a famous journalist. They met at one of his stunt shows and from there on, destiny would help them to share their lives, experiences and tragedies.
The pact? Johnny sold his sold to the devil, and the devil wants to use him to fight his fights and collect those unpaid debts with some other demons. At the end of this fights, the devil wants to get all this power gained by Johnny, but he'll refuse and decides to be the Ghost Rider, just preparing the room for the sequel that is already on the "negotiating and script acceptance" process.
It is actually a good and enjoyable film. If you don't hold it under close scrutiny, it can be really entertaining. Especially because it can be considered an entertaining action/horror film being rated PG-13.
What did I like from this movie?
1. Really good CGI effects
2. Great cast involved in this film
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. A weak plot, not worth for the good CGI content and cast involved in the film
I would rate this movie with a 3/5
