Editorial Review:
SUPERSTAR MOTORCYCLE STUNT RIDER JOHNNY BLAZE STRIKES A DEAL WITH THE VILE MEPHISTOPHELES FOR THE MOST PRECIOUS OF COMMODITIES, HIS IMMORTAL SOUL. NOW JOHNNY BLAZE IS FOREVER DESTINED TO RIDE NIGHT AFTER NIGHT AS THE HOST TO THE POWERFUL SUPERNATURAL ENTITY KNOWN AS THE GHOST RIDER.
Description of Ghost Rider (Widescreen Edition):
Once intended as a feature for Johnny Depp, the long-germinating feature film adaptation of Marvel Comics' cult title Ghost Rider stars Nicolas Cage as motorcyclist Johnny Blaze, who transforms into a skull-faced angel of vengeance to battle the forces of evil. Though perhaps a bit too mature for the role, Cage brings a degree of humor to the outrageous proceedings; he's well matched by the Easy Rider himself Peter Fonda, amusingly cast as Mephistopheles, the demon with whom Blaze strikes a bargain to save his father, and in turn, causes his transformation into Ghost Rider. Wes Bentley is also fine as Blackheart, the rebellious offspring of Mephistopheles, and Blazes' chief opponent in the film. They're joined by a solid supporting cast which includes Donal Logue, Eva Mendes, and Sam Elliott, but their participation and a relentless barrage of CGI effects can't hide the fact that the story itself, though largely faithful to its comic origins, is rife with clichéd characterizations and glum B-movie dialogue. Fans of the venerable title may cry foul over this adaptation (as they did over helmer Mark Steven Johnson's previous comic-to-movie feature, Daredevil), but less stringent viewers may enjoy the fiery visuals and Cage's typically quirky performance. --Paul Gaita

Ghost Rider (Widescreen Edition) Reviews:
did not watch just yet 
2009-10-27 - very eager to watch the movie but have not just yet.
saw the movie trailer, and that is why i wanted to
get this movie.
Purchase of Ghost Rider
2009-10-20 - I felt the price was very reasonable for the movie since it was new. It was shipped and received within the specified time that was given at the time of ordering. And when the movie came it was in excellent condition, well packaged to keep it protected from any damage.
Selling your soul to the devil? Bad idea! 
2009-10-03 - 4 of 5 stars for the Ghost Rider. I do recommend this movie! First rule of being in a movie: Never sell your soul to the devil! It never works out. In this Marvel comic made into a feature movie, we follow motorcycle daredevil Johnny Blaze who does sell his soul to make his father healthy again. When the devil comes knocking we learn of the legend of the Ghost Rider; the agents who collect debts (souls) on behalf of the devil. We meet a cowboy who we later learn is also a Ghost Rider. Together they battle an evil being who is attempting to steal souls owed to the devil. An interesting story, interesting characters. Well acted, well photographed and great special effects! My favorite scene is the horse riding cowboy aside Johnny Blaze on his motorcycle both moving thru the desert at night leaving a trail of fire.
This is one movie in which I like Nicolas Cage. This is a solid movie that I do recommend!
Good Deal
2009-09-14 - The movie itself is fantastic. And combine the price we purchased it for a good deal.
