Ghost Rider is extremely light on story, which really can’t be helped. There is too much to be covered and still leave room for a real story with a movie’s time constraints. Ghost Rider isn’t as ingrained into the social psyche as Spider-Man, Superman, or Batman, to enable to script writers to skip the backstory in favor of the real story.

What remains is something of a cross between American Chopper, 2 Fast 2 Furious, and Transformers: we get to watch a really cool motorcycle transform into something even cooler, with Eva Mendes in tow as the female lead. Sadly, Eva Mendes is not as hot as the flaming Hellcycle, which wins the on-screen eye-candy battle hands down; she was better in 2 Fast 2 Furious.
