Reviews

Despite its promising premise, "Ghost Rider" fails to fully capture the darker and more complex elements of its comic book source material. Critics have pointed out the film's weak script, lackluster dialogue, and uneven pacing. While Nicolas Cage delivers an entertaining performance as the tormented Johnny Blaze, the movie struggles to strike a balance between its supernatural themes and action sequences. Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a rating of 27%, with the consensus that it is a visually exciting but ultimately shallow superhero film. IMDb rates it at 5.3/10, indicating a mixed reception from audiences. Metacritic's score of 35/100 reflects the general consensus of a missed opportunity to truly delve into the potential depth of the Ghost Rider character.
