Years ago, motorcycle stuntman Johnny Blaze sold his soul to save the life of a loved one. Now, he transforms into a fiery, avenging agent of justice at night wherever evil roams. As the only one who can walk in both worlds, Johnny is charged by Mephistopheles himself to destroy Blackheart, a demon that wants to overthrow Mephistopheles and create a worse hell than the one that currently exists.

Critics Consensus

Ghost Rider is a sour mix of morose, glum histrionics amidst jokey puns and hammy dialogue.

1/5

It all seems so wearyingly old fashioned: teenage delinquents on motorbikes, creaky incarnations of Satan, a rock'n'roll take on dangerous cool.

It's ridiculous, likable, with some pleasing reminders of the Blade movies.

1/6

Grand, empty gestures and loads of CGI effects can't cover up pure schlock. Even the character's iconically cool trademarks -- a flaming skull and a fiery chopper -- are reduced to Velveeta slices. No, damn you, sir.

This strange amalgamation of Texas Ranger lore, NASCAR bravado, and the-Devil-and-Daniel-Webster trickery keeps the campy fun revving just enough that you can't completely hate it.

I still think that the writing of this film potentially has the worst out of any related to Marvel Comics since Blade’s release. Gosling definitely has a low bar to fill for Johnny Blaze, because it’s very clear that Cage is more fitting for Spider Noir than he is for this role. The only part of the movie I honestly appreciated was Sam Elliott’s appearance, which still doesn’t do this film justice.

You can’t despise this movie without biasing towards critics reviews. It simply is not a bad movie. It is comic accurate, entertaining, and connects to the audience through chills and laughter I can’t complain about anything other than the slight corniness and rushed moments Otherwise I justly like this movie, but in the sense of is it a good film? Yes. It is a good story and a fun way to introduce Ghostrider There’s absolutely no reason this movie should only have 28% in critic reviews other than the corny scenes The writing was very comic accurate 4/5 Stars, good job
