Once intended as a feature for Johnny Depp, the long-germinating feature film adaptation of Marvel Comics cult title Ghost Rider stars Nicolas Cage as motorcyclist Johnny Blaze, who transforms into a skull-faced angel of vengeance to battle the forces of evil. Though perhaps a bit too mature for the role, Cage brings a degree of humor to the outrageous proceedings hes well matched by the Easy Rider himself Peter Fonda, amusingly cast as Mephistopheles, the demon with whom Blaze strikes a bargain to save his father, and in turn, causes his transformation into Ghost Rider. Wes Bentley is also fine as Blackheart, the rebellious offspring of Mephistopheles, and Blazes chief opponent in the film. Theyre joined by a solid supporting cast which includes Donal Logue, Eva Mendes, and Sam Elliott, but their participation and a relentless barrage of CGI effects cant hide the fact that the story itself, though largely faithful to its comic origins, is rife with clichd characterizations and glum B-movie dialogue. Fans of the venerable title may cry foul over this adaptation (as they did over helmer Mark Steven Johnsons previous comic-to-movie feature, Daredevil), but less stringent viewers may enjoy the fiery visuals and Cages typically quirky performance. --Paul Gaita
