Years ago, motorcycle stuntman Johnny Blaze (Nicolas Cage) 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 (Donal Logue) himself to destroy Blackheart (Wes Bentley), 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.

Irish Times

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.

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’ve always been a fan of custom motorcycles, but the Ghost Rider’s bike is on a different level altogether. The design is intimidating yet beautiful, with its skeletal motifs and flames that seem alive. The bike’s frame is incredibly sturdy, giving a feeling of invincibility while riding through the night. The flames that erupt along the exhaust and wheels aren’t just for show—they seem to serve as a reminder of the bike’s hellish origins. The handling takes some getting used to—it’s not the most nimble bike out there, but for its size and style, it’s surprisingly responsive. The engine’s raw power is evident in every acceleration, and the heat emanating from the flames adds an extra thrill. Riding this bike makes you feel like a supernatural avenger—an unstoppable force of justice on two wheels. It’s not just a motorcycle; it’s a symbol of vengeance from the depths of hell.

Nick Cage having a blast doing a character you can tell he loves. Cgi still holds up very well in 2025 . Pretty good casting, my favorite being Sam Elliott ! Peter Fonda was perfect as well. If you're not a pretentious comic nerd and just enjoyed the comics as a kid, you'll love this campy Hollywood gem of awesomeness. Watch for Rebel Wilson's quick cameo !
