Ghost Rider

Based on the marvel comic series, about a young lad who made a pact with a dark force to sell his soul. In return, it will cure his father's cancer. It did cure him but also killed him during his father's stunt ride performance.

Years later, the dark force return to use Nicolas Cage as Johnny Blaze to deal with blackheart and his kakia. With the powers given to him by the dark force, Johnny can transform himself into ghost rider .... basically is a skull head in flames, with powers like :

> Hellfire, a supernatual fire that burns the soul which he can projects
> Hellcycle, his vehicle which is in flame as well
> Penance Stare, in which the victim stares into his eyes and somehow the victim's soul will burnt with scenes of all the sins being revealed *Do not work on SaMe*
>Enchanted Chain, is a chain where he wields as a weapon

Somehow, blackheart and his kakia just wasn't enough even to be on par with him. Eva Mendes as Roxanne was the eye candy who was Johnny's childhood sweetheart.

In the end, looks like a sequel is coming up as Johnny refuse to return his power back to the dark force when the deal was over.

A typical comic adaptation but not with a familiar one.

7/10.
