I was not a fan of the original, i thought it was a little too boring for a movie based on a character possessed by the spirit of vengeance.

We’ve all seen this story line some where before but really it’s just the setting to let Nicholas Cage go crazy with the Freaky new iteration of the Ghost rider, and that is exactly what he does.

The Ghost rider is charged with protecting and accompanying a boy needed for an evil prophecy, an evil prophecy that also involves the demon that cursed Johnny Blaze. The plot is perhaps a little too familiar. So when the persona of Johnny Blaze disappears you better start running if you’ve been a bad boy or girl. The ghost riders soul desire now is to destroy anything and everything evil. They’ve rightly decided to drop the silly monster voice he used to have in favour of a more whispered tone. This time the Ghost rider is much crazier and a little bit spookier. This new ghost rider ignores the last one and and retells the origin story and also gives us a slightly new take on the Ghost rider himself. He is approached by a Monk named Moreau who tells him that he can help be him free of the Rider, but first, he needs Johnny’s help to protect a boy, whom Roarke has plans for, to help him take human form. Johnny Blaze, a man who made a deal with the Devil who called himself Mephistopheles at the time (now Roarke), is on the run trying to make sure no-one is harmed by his alter ego, The Ghost Rider.
