Sorry about the double post..
Went to saw the film on friday i enjoyed it and liked it, Only things i had problem with it was could'eve been darker like the blade movies and for mephisto and blackheart would've been good if we saw their demon forums apart from that a pretty good film
Since theirs news of the sequal hopefully we get to see mephisto and blackhearts demons forms in it
What are you guys saying? GHOST RIDER is an extremely entertaining action-movie with cool SFX, nice acting, an awesome story, nasty demonic villains, a sad romantic sublot, a sympathetic hero, a kick-ass supernatural hero in Ghost Rider himself (dig that chain whip and Penance Stare, man!), and a cowboy Ghost Rider who is actually cooler than the Johnny Blaze Rider. I saw it last Wendsday, and I loved it with every inch of my soul!
GHOST RIDER RUUUUUULES!
(I hope my enthusiam for this quickly-turning-infamous movie doesn't turn off any friends or supporters I earned on this site when I signed up.)
Watched the film
I give it a 7.2/10
Pros :
1. SFX is fuggin AWESOME ! Ghost rider looks greats .
2. Deaths , watching people just age into bones was pretty cool
3. Cowboy Ghost rider was very cool
4. The chain was interesting and used very well
5. The jacket thing was pretty funny
6. Riding UP a building and ALONG water 👆
7.Great Casting for Mephisto
Cons
1. Cages Accent grated on my nerves
2. Some of the lines were a little cheesy " Hey Dirtbag"
3. Blackheart had a crappy actor
4. While I stated earlier showing their true-forms would ruin the film , I would have preferred them to vaguely show Blackhearts 'real' shape while he was transforming
5. Music was a little cheesy(Ghost Riders in the sky.. 🙄 )
6 Film felt a little...rushed. Like they maybe should have given it an extra 20 minutes or so.

I'll add another one
8. Needed to be alot more darker like the blade films
I was EXTREMELY disappointed with Ghostrider. Especially the stunts and the SFX. If you have ever ridden a bike those jumps would have seemed as stupid as they did to me. I used to do motocross, and am a big fan of Freestyle Motocross - and I wish they took a quarter of the budget they used on special effects to get some real bikers in to do the stunts.
Pathetic and absurd are the two words that kept on running through my mind as I watched it. There are more action, entertainment and adrenaline in a Freestyle Motocross competition than in any part of the Ghostrider movie.
My rating? 4/10.
I too went in with low, very low expectations and most of them were blown out, because I was expecting cheesier effects than what was given. Then again, I have not seen many movies lately. So having never read a single ghost rider comic book I had no inkling of backstory so the movie was entertaining enough and I had seen Blackheart's other form somewhere and really expected after he gathered the thousand souls to transform and I think it would have been appropriate and a better fight at the end. Some of the fights were a bit of a letdown but it was cool to see the hero just kick ass without struggling too much which is what has become predictable for most movies. Let the hero get beat up a little, the hero beats up bad guy some, then hero starts kicking ass, then he gets his ass kicked in return, then hero pulls off some incredible move, BAM! Bad guy dead... Instead, GR was like I'm so badass I can kill you in one move, sometimes two... Next movie would like to see him struggle more and maybe even get help from some other superhero ...
