10 Comic Book Movies You Should Feel Guilty For Enjoying
3. Ghost Rider (2007)
Nicolas Cage is Johnny Blaze, a motorcycle stunt rider who makes a deal with Satan (played by Peter Fonda) to save his father from cancer. After that, Cage is assigned to be the devil's bounty hunter, and he gets a very cool ride to do it on. Now, sometimes a movie fails and succeeds at the same time. Because by any real-world standard, this film is a horrible bit of nonsense. But it's very good at being a horrible bit of nonsense, if for no other reason than the insane premise and for being kind of a window into Cage's bizarro soul. To put is simply; Cage is hilarious in this movie. Its not always on purpose, but watching him transform into the Rider, screaming and waving his hands around relentlessly is quite entertaining. Sadly (or thankfully), it gets even better/worse in the sequel, Spirit Of Vengeance.
