Ghost Rider

How can Nicolas Cage even play the Rider? It just doesn't fit him—at all. The biggest mistake with comic book movies is how they pick the wrong actors (not necessarily bad ones, just wrong) and then butcher the story until it turns into total shit! Don't get me wrong, there are some great adaptations out there... and Sin City is definitely the best one!

I could use a little assistance here—if anyone can identify the artist and the track playing during Ghost Rider. It pops up toward the end of the movie while they're riding toward San Venganza, and then again at the very start of the credits. I missed catching the title in the credits list.

It sounds a lot like Muse to me, but I can't say for certain. Thanks in advance for the help.

You mean THIS

Exactly that... though I can't quite remember if that's actually the title of the song or not.

Yeah... the song is "Ghost Riders in the Sky" and it's by Spiderbait.👍

I'm with you 100%

On the contrary... I think Nicolas Cage is actually the biggest win this movie has... he was absolutely perfect in this role...👍

BTW, the movie is just a movie... nothing special, nothing terrible... Daredevil and Elektra were way worse than this... at least I had a good time and laughed at Nicolas Cage here...

I don't think he fit the part at all
he looks kind of old in this one to me
did you see Next where Cage plays a similar role?
I think that's what the movie is called

Thanks... I finally tracked it down.

I don't know...to me, he actually fit best here out of everything. That goofy vibe mixed with a Southern accent and a leather jacket = total win.

Haven't seen it yet. Heard it's decent...but that haircut of his is just...a complete disaster.🤣

I honestly thought I was the only one who pulled off that full Silvio Berlusconi look 😁
...

I’ve only managed to sit through the first thirty minutes of this thing, so I can't give a definitive final score just yet—but based on what I've seen so far? It is absolute gold. And honestly, even though I usually find Nicolas Cage a bit much, he is actually killing it here.😁

I heard the movie is actually pretty good. Yeah, well... that's where you're wrong, haha. Personally, I think Nicolas Cage is a decent actor... I don't mind seeing him in a flick. Though his best stuff was definitely back in the 90s.

Check it out ASAP
Nicolas Cage has some killer movies, but he looks way too old in this one—maybe it's just too much makeup making him look like that.

The film is nothing more than mediocre computer animation.🙂

Nicolas Cage isn't actually a bad actor; I suppose he was just stuck with a subpar character in Ghost Rider.

The movie is honestly quite ridiculous. The most absurd part, I think, is when you have Nicolas Cage on his motorcycle and Sam Elliott—playing the Caretaker—on a horse, riding through a graveyard to take down some bad guy. They get to the cemetery, and then the old man suddenly decides he’s not interested in joining the fight. I guess maybe his horse just overheated from all that fire.

In my humble opinion, this movie belongs in the absolute gutter of cinematic failures. It honestly isn't even worth the digital bits used to stream it.
