Even the special effects are pitiable.

This strange amalgamation of Texas Ranger lore, NASCAR bravado, and the-Devil-and-Daniel-Webster trickery keeps the campy fun revving just enough that you can't completely hate it.

This movie is stupid in the best possible way. I cheered all the way through - my shrieks of glee echoing off the walls.

Don't worry your little head with the niceties of plot; they don't matter much.

Best lines? "Is this thing ever gonna end?" "Not even close." "I shore wish this thang coulda turned out different."

Ignore the cheesy dialogue, the cardboard cut-out villains and the atrociously OTT acting and just enjoy a good old-fashioned tale of heroes and villains the way the comic-books used to tell 'em.

It all seems so wearyingly old fashioned: teenage delinquents on motorbikes, creaky incarnations of Satan, a rock'n'roll take on dangerous cool.

Cage needs to produce something special next to make up for crimes against cinema.

By any real-world standard, this is a stupid piece of junk. But it's very good at being a stupid piece of junk.

The worst adaptation of a Marvel Comics hero yet.

Shamelessly cribs from the "Spawn" film.

If Nicolas Cage weren't a goofball with a hunky physique and droll wit, this Marvel-comic-to-big-screen adaptation would have no torque at all.

Seeing Ghost Rider is like going to Saturday matinee serials at the Rialto eons ago. It's a fanciful, puerile experience -- a fun day out for 9-year olds. Ghost Rider is a ridiculous melange of cheesy effects, talentless extras, corny plot and insi

Johnson might have diverted some of his CGI budget to hire a writer to come up with a story with some internal logic -- then he could match the effects to the story rather than vice versa.

Bad fun if you're in the right mood, and a large part of the credit goes to Nicolas Cage.

It's not a complete wash, a la Catwoman, but it ain't far off.
