Ghost Rider

I'm a sucker for Nicolas Cage in tough guy hero roles.

I also tend to enjoy movies based on comic books.

If it weren't for that, Ghost Rider doesn't have much to recommend it.

But, since those two things are what they are, I liked Ghost Rider.

There's honor, evil, love, greed, tragedy and triumph.

Due to a deal with the devil that he made years ago, Johnny Blaze, a motorcycle stunt rider, has been indestructible. Now, it's time for the devil to collect, only Johnny's not going to go along willingly.

Sam Elliott and Peter Fonda played to type which to my mind is a good thing.

In an effort to appeal to the teenage boy element, it was a bit too graphic for me so I spent a fair amount of time covering my eyes.
