Ghost Rider [DVD] [2007]

Really good film

Honestly such a great movie, it has that old gritty marvel feel to it which ive missed. Nothing better than films in 2007. Id recommend this movie to any superhero enthusiast. Id definitely watch again, and 10 times over.

Cracking film

Delayed by almost a year and coming from the director of Daredevil, Ghost Rider was given the death knell by many before even having seen it. Into the equation is that it stars Nicolas Cage, a man whose star has dimmed so badly it's as if Leaving Las Vegas had never been made, Ghost Rider it seems......... had to stink? Stunt motor cycle rider Johnny Blaze sells his soul to Mesphistopheles in exchange for his Fathers good health. Some time later the demon Blackheart comes to Earth wreaking havoc and Blaze is summoned by Mephistopheles to stop him, only Blaze is transformed into the Ghost Rider, a bike riding, chain slinging spirit of vengeance. Ghost Rider is a fun film that sadly is not without flaws, but the comic touches and all round sense of fun, however, should not be understated, so much so that if people go into it with the expectation of a light and breezy comic book picture, then there is enjoyment to be had. The character of Blaze/Ghost Rider is wonderful in the extreme, Blaze doesn't drink alcohol, he instead drinks jellybeans out of a glass. He listens to The Carpenters and gets much amusement from watching chimps doing karate, this is a man who on his motorbike leaps the length of a football field over rotor whirling helicopters! Then Blaze becomes Ghost Rider, a maniacal mass of flame and one liners, an odd character when one thinks he works for the devil and makes his mantra one of striking down evildoers! And it's with that cheeky daftness that one needs to view this movie. Nicolas Cage actively sought out the role of Blaze due to his immense love of the source, and there is no denying that he puts guts and kudos into the portrayal. He perfectly camps the comic book nature of Blaze, whilst revelling in the devil may care side of the Ghost Rider persona. However, Cage is the only one who can come out of the picture with any credit, female love interest falls in the hands of Eva Mendes, perhaps her Roxanne Simpson character is a little underwritten, but her screen presence is more annoying than memorable. Peter Fonda is very poor as Mephistopheles, about as scary as someone making Easy Rider 2, yet compared to Wes Bentley, Fonda looks like Oscar gold. Bentley is Blackheart, and he struggles with delivery and any sort of nasty aura in which to breath life into a potential bad guy to savour, and as for his cohort minions? The less said the better I think. It's a shame the villains are so poor because there is a lot of care and attention here from Cage and director Mark Steven Johnson, both men whom are clearly in love with the source material. Ghost Rider is certainly a fun experience, and it scrubs up well on Blu-ray, but you may want to repeatedly punch the casting director in the face come the end of the picture. 6.5/10

With this DVD of Ghost Rider it now completes my collection of this fantastic film. If you need a copy of this film on DVD the this supplier I can recommend.

Good special effects. Pure fantasy. Good against evil and great fun with a bit of romance thrown in. Not trying to be something it's not and not the greatest film I've ever watched, but nonetheless very watchable.

Excellent film , It really has everything , Over the top storytelling , A cowboy , Great fantasy characters , Motorcycles , Stunts , Tongue in cheek love story , Funny one liners , Eva mendes , OK the film story is not a deep and emotional masterpiece of cinema history but it really is a fun and engaging film from start to finish. The acting also I thought was really good , Nicolas cage was actually a great character choice and at first he seems the last person you would expect to be playing a daredevil motorcyclist but his middle ground easy going attitude suits the role perfectly as evel , Also most of the characters do their jobs justice , The devil is suitably evil in a genuinely creepy way , The bad guys are given unique and dark overworldly powers and again are genuinely evil and believable , The special effects also do the film justice and used to good effect rather than being overly ridiculous and pointless. It really is a great film and one of the most enjoyable action fantasy films I've seen this side of the millennium , Great watch.

ive seen this film again & again over the years.. Its one you can keep watching.. A tad of humor but a serious storyline.. Action packed with full on effects.. Well cut (edited) and effects are on point.. Well directed.. Good acting.. If you like motor bikes you will dig it & if you don't you will be on the edge of the sofa off & on.. A bit of pop corn, heating on, a pair of slippers & entertainment is complete.. In regards to family viewing it is not a crime for a 12 year old to watch as it is not bloody but an 8 year old that suffered from nightmares might not want to watch it since there's devil talk & few unfriendly looking charactors.. 😁 I would highly reccommend the film and some may come to the conclusion that peace is more valuable than stardom and wealth.. Others may learn not to make emotion based decisions from it.. Its one of those films where the unexpected takes place & you dont need a part 2 but wouln't say no to a part 2 or 3.. Yes quite reccommendable..

DvD wurde schnell und in sehr gutem Zustand geliefert. Alles bestens. Danke

Kitschig, aber geil. Die Effekte und die Dialoge lasse ich hier außen vor. Cage gibt sich hier seinem Wahnsinn als Ghost Rider und das funktioniert bestens. Dieser Film unterhält mich heute noch wie damals. Mehr als alle neuen Marvel Produktionen. Hier schert man sich noch nicht um politische Korrektheit und das tut den alten Streifen gut.
