As is the film - an extremely proficient, fast-paced, funny, visually dazzling piece of disposable opening-weekend movie mulch that energetically builds to the now-standard blockbuster movie ending that urgently points to the need for an equally lavish and exciting sequel.
As everybody in Victoria knows by now the principal photography for Ghost Rider was filmed in Melbourne and in an obscure corner of provincial Victoria referred to in the final credits as "Greater Geelong".

Literature and film are dotted with variations on the Faustian theme involving someone selling their soul to the Devil, but none of those poor unfortunates has dressed like Evel Knievel and sounded like Elvis Presley.

 Review: Ghost Rider - Film Junk
Although I’m sure Ghost Rider has his share of loyal readers (all comic books do), there is little about the character that could convince me it deserves anything more than a direct-to-video b-movie.

The idea is that Mephistopheles has to find the best rider in the world to become his Ghost Rider, that made sense to me. He has to give him this power, because he works for him.
It's true that I was involved with Ghost Rider over three years ago and was trying to develop it with another filmmaker.

 Popcorn Junkies: Ghost Rider - Review
Ghost Rider looks and feels like a lot of other mid-level comic book films; it's not surprising considering that the director also was the director behind Daredevil.
The film also has the same deft touch when it comes to action sequences that Johnson's prior work had; they are exciting to watch and look great.
Johnson's vision of the Ghost Rider mystique seems incomplete; it's as if someone had gone in and ripped out vital parts to streamline the film.

The Columbia Pictures action-adventure “Ghost Rider” is based on the popular Marvel Comics superhero, in which motorcycle stunt rider Johnny Blaze (Academy Award® winner Nicolas Cage) makes a deal with the devil in order to save his father’s life, only to find himself possessed by a demonic alter ego, Ghost Rider.
