GHOST RIDER (2007)

I have to admit I really liked this. I thought the visual of the two Ghost Riders was great, but Carter Slade was known as the Phantom or Night Rider. The character was stolen from Magazine Enterprises by Marvel and the character name was Ghost Rider when Magazine Enterprises used him and when Marvel reintroudcued him. They switched to Phanotm or Night Rider when they introduced the Blaze Ghost Rider to differentiate between them. Slade's character used a magic cape and glowing dust and was not possesed at all. I always liked the charcter, but he wouldn't have been as great in the movie had he himself not been a possesed spirit of vengence. Blaze sold his soul to Mephisto and not Satan. Megs knows who Mephisto is, but he is a demon god who allows people to think he is Satan and always finds a way to reneg on any deal he made like saving Johnny's Dad only to kill him in a crash. That's another thing, in the comic Johnny's real Dad died long ago and it was Crash Simpson his adoptive Dad who was sick and led Johnny to sell his soul. I know I am nitpicking and they don't make these movies for comic geeks and I really did like it. They did a good job with the look of Ghost Rider and having Eva Mendes to oggle never hurts. I would recommend this movie because my complaints are die hard comic geek type stuff.
