Never read the comic books based upon this character, so I went into this movie with really no expectations on how it should be. I think that this was a good thing since the film garnered fairly negative critical reception but I thought it wasn't such a terrible movie. While the film never elevates or becomes really good, it wasn't boring in any places either. It was fairly typical in how the film takes around forty minutes before the main character, Johnny Blaze, finally becomes the titular Ghost Rider and we get to see him in action. The design is pretty cool, but the way he defeated some of the earlier enemies just seem underwhelming (the thing is, there is no flashiness like some of the other Marvel superheroes). As the primarily antagonist, Blackheart just wasn't that cool. The story didn't have depth, it was basically just Blackheart wanted the contract with 1000 souls so he can create Hell on Earth, that's it. No back story or any real particular reason he wanted to do that (except to gain power). I did like how Ghost Rider defeated Blackheart though, getting over the fact that Blackheart doesn't have a soul to burn. The special effects that went into this film could be more realistic.
