The latest Marvel Comics character to have his own movie is "Ghost Rider" starring Nicholas Cage, who happens to be a comic book fan himself (he even named his own son Kal-El after Superman's Kryptonian name). It starts with how Johnny Blaze makes a deal with the devil (played by Peter Fonda of "Easy Rider" fame). Johnny obviously doesn't know what he was getting into until it's too late. The pact he makes wrecks havoc in his love life making him leave his childhood sweetheart Roxanne (played by Eve Mendes).
Seeing Johnny's transformation into the Ghost Rider is spectacular sight as he goes from flesh and blood to skeleton with flames around his skull and dressed in leather and chains. Even his motorcyle is transformed. What's even good about this movie that it acknowledged the orignial Ghost Rider, Carter Slade (played by Sam Elliott). The first Ghost Rider series was a western in the 1950s and 1960s before being updated in the 1970s.
Action sequences were good as well as the special effects. This comic book fan had a good time seeing this movie.
