Ghost Rider: Review By Summit10

I have been a fan of comic book films, especially with those grittier and dark characters. The Ghost Rider is definitely one of them!

The story is all about a deal made by a young man to save his father and so a contract was made in exchange for his soul.

Choices... Tick tock tick tock!!!

I've watched the film thrice already since way back in my country and it never gave me that sense of enthusiasm until now!

I was able to watch it's extended cut and delved more into the story on how on earth Johnny Blaze became the Spirit of Vengeance. This is an amazing character with a decent following of fans and yet somehow the film has given not much justice to the comic book.

To think that maybe Marvel has not given much credit for Mark Steven Johnson to step up the plate in order to scriptwrite and direct the film, the budget definitely goes beyond the grave with props that can be compared with a high school stage presentation.

The verbal quips, cheesy liners, poor dialogue from every cast, fight scenes that our laughable, even Blackheart not changing into his demon form to name a few... don't forget the constant finger pointing of the man himself!(maybe it was part of the Guilty or Innocent platform).

On the other side, I'm psyched up everytime he screams with rage when someone pisses him off!!! What a riot!

But the essence is there and it was how Johnny wants to be redeemed and have another chance for salvation as well. With the help of another Ghost Rider who have done the same mistake in the past, gives more conclusive interaction between the characters and the main plot of the story.

Mark Steven Johnson has made movies that really not blended well with the audience it might be more emphasis on how the characters are represented in the big screen and give that rapport on not just the viewers but the Producers as well making them understand that the film has proper direction and financing.

Everybody deserves a second chance (but I'm not expecting you to touch on a comic book film again, maybe in other genres!)
