The crittics these day need to get over them selfs. I am getting drivin out of my mind by these people thinking they know what is considerd good or bad, It's not like 1 or 2 people can decide something like that. How would they like it if I went on T.V. and told them that the shirt or pants or opinion sucked. I think people are tired of celebrities giving thier opinions to them. Crittics are the most useless people in the world, I mean what real use are they? They tell you what thwy think about a movie or song like you can't make up your own mind. I personly don't think they should get a early viewing of any movie. Well they do say those that can't do complain. I personly can't wait for the next G.R. movie no matter what those lard butts think. Nicolas Cage did a great job and I hope he can continue as Jonny Blaze in the next movie. I know this is only my opinon and it doesn't mean much in this world but I ndo hope someone reads it and is inspired to also think for themselfs I don’t know alot about the new Ghost Rider but I do know this.

Part 1 of 4 was okay but the storyline kind of dragged for awhile but was needed to introduce those ignorant to the origins of the characters. For the origin story this movie was well done in the fact that it fit the time limit that most people would not be saying,"It's too long!". To get a good story in any of these intro films and give the background we would be watching a film 4 hours long! No Thanks! That is why the second movie in a series is usually better (X-men for example). GR does an adequate job of exploring the origins of the "rider" while mixing in the most possible story that would fit in to a roughly 2 hour frame. It can be said that the fights could have been a bit longer but the main action sequence don't forget is the police chase of the GR. This left little time for an extended fight scene but the fight with Blackheart could have been longer, afterall he is the lead villain. The graphics were wonderful especially the first transform scene. However the character name Blackheart does have a historical reference for the person who complained about it before. Blackheart was the nickname given to Andrew Jackson by many native tribes of the US for the level of evil they feel he released upon them. But in the end we must remember that GR is a dark character in the comics and has been made so in the first film. Now IF the sequel is made then we will see if the character will be allowed to stretch his bones.

Like Nicolas Cage, I am also a huge fan of the Ghost Rider series. In fact, if I had to name a favorite comic book character from Marvel, I would choose Ghost Rider every time. Overall comic books, I am pretty sure that Ghost Rider would still be number one (racing against the Flash, Batman and Robin [Tim Drake]). The story is so unique compared to other stories and I really like that darker side that Ghost Rider brings to the otherwise Superhero world of hope. I think the movie was a very good rendition of the story and there were some aspects that I thought made it such an entertaining film. Like introducing the penance stare that originally belonged to Danny Ketch and making the story more simple by naming Barton Blaze the one that Johnny sold his soul for instead Crash Simpson. For some reason, those who did not know of the story could not understand why Johnny Blaze was able to figure out how to deal with the fallen angels so fast. To me, it was obvious that the Ghost Rider is a separate entity that has been around for ages but for some, there was ambiguity. I hope that they go into the origins of Zarathos and introduce him a little more. If I had to choose, I would name Scarecrow the supervillian If it is done right, perhaps with another dealing with the devil (*hint), it would blow the Batman’s scarecrow out of the running (No offense because I love Batman’s scarecrow too). Also I wish they would play up Roxanne’s role slightly. Eva Mendez did a great job but I think the eight ball at the table is not enough carny background for the character. I mean come on! She was part of the whole motorcyle act. She can ride too, probably not jump, but she was like Johnny’s crew!! I think that needs to be brought into the story. I have lots of suggestions but I guess I am going to have to put my faith into Hollywood so Good Luck Nicolas Cage and Everyone!! I am so happy about another Ghost Rider movie!!!

Honestly, I expected the movie to be much worse. What I found was one of very few comic adaptations that gives proper justice to the original. I'm not really sure if I should like the fact that the plot is much of a mix between the first Ghost Rider an the second one, but I cannot deny the that it did work well for the movie. Even more, the amount of references to the comic book characters, events and storylines is simply staggering. Captain Dolan, Wallow, Blackheart... heck, even that hellfire-spitting shotgun near the end. And who can forget about Carter Slade, the first Marvel character to use the name of Ghost Rider (renamed to Phantom Rider when the Johnny Blaze version of Ghost Rider started)? As a big fan of Ghost Rider, I found those small tidbits immensely contributing to my overall enjoyment of the movie. Here's to hoping in GR II we'll see more of that - and some more villains, of course (Vengeance, anyone?) PS. Regarding the comment posted by Scientist on March 2nd: Blackheart's name wasn't made up for the movie. A character of this name appeared as a villain in the second series of Ghost Rider - and happens to be the son of Mephisto. It rocked. Honestly, I expected the movie to be much worse.

When i heard Cage was the main actor i thought to myself, he is too skinny and ugly to play the hero, however i lernt by watching this that good looks and muscles arnt as important as being genuine when acting. Cage has gone down in my book as an under-rated character in my view because he simply does an outstanding job. The movie also poses a question to me, we have seen countless movies about the devil and its getting a bit clichéd. It seems that we have an admiratoin for evil, what im wondering is where are the movies about God Vs the Devil, since its hollywood the outcome is obvious but it would be better than a guy whos head is on fire Vs the devil which it will be in Ghost Rider 2, which is annouced and will be streamed in 2009 if all goes to plan.
