Ghost Rider ★½ 2007 (PG-13)

Criticproof nonsense based on the Marvel comic character with the flaming skull head and motorcycle. Stunt rider Johnny Blaze (Cage) makes a deal with the devil (Fonda) who, naturally, doesn't follow through as intended. So Johnny is left as hell's bounty hunter, up against devil spawn Blackheart (Bentley). Beautiful Mendes is wasted in the girl role while Cage and Bentley overact, Fonda and Elliott stay cool, and viewers wait for some superhero fire to ignite. 108m/C DVD, Bluray Disc, UMD . US Nicolas Cage, Eva Mendes, Wes Bentley, Sam Elliott, Donal Logue, Peter Fonda, Brett Cullen, Matt Long, Raquel Alessi; D: Mark Steven Johnson; W: Mark Steven Johnson; C: Russell Boyd; M: Christopher Young.
