Our take on Ghost Rider

In Mark Steven Johnson's 2007 comic-book fantasy, stunt cyclist Johnny Blaze sells his soul to Mephistopheles to save his dying father, and in doing so loses the pure-hearted Roxanne Simpson, the love of his life. Years later their paths cross again, with Roxanne now a driven reporter and Mephistopheles offering to free Johnny's soul if he becomes the flaming, skull-headed Ghost Rider. Blending action, fantasy, and thriller elements, the film leans on fiery spectacle, a doomed romance, and a bargain-with-the-devil hook. It suits viewers who enjoy comic-book adventures with supernatural flair and don't mind broad, effects-forward storytelling. Those wanting grounded drama or tight plotting may find it uneven, but its central image has real pulpy appeal.
