Despite having a lack of action and being chock-full of goofs, 'Ghost Rider' is fairly enjoyable and mildly exciting. Yes, there are some definite plot holes, and while the acting isn't the greatest, this movie is good enough to watch a second time; especially when you're just looking for a few laughs, some merrymaking, and a cure for boredom.
'Ghost Rider' contains some *very* nice visuals and an interesting concept: Johnny Blaze, a young man who sells his soul to the devil in order to save his father's life, is forced to become the same devil's bounty hunter--giving up love, friendship, family, and ultimately any chance at a normal life. But with a gracious turn of events, decides to use this disadvantage TO his advantage--by turning his "curse" as he calls it--back against Satan, the one who initially created it to begin with.
Though I've read some bad reviews for this movie and some harsh criticism, I *would* recommend 'Ghost Rider' to watch on a Saturday night when you have nothing else to do. All it is, is complete entertainment, pure and simple. No deeper meanings, no hidden agenda involved; and sometimes, that's just the kind of film you need.
6.5/10
