What Parents Need to Know
About Ghost Rider
Parents need to know that this comic book-based movie is aimed right at kids. (They won't care that the CGI effects aren't the best and the story is uneven.) Expect frequent references to the devil and some grisly Renaissance-style images of torture. There are motorcycle crashes (one ends in a father's death), flaming leaps, falls, and skids, which produce broken-looking bodies. The villain turns victims gray and veiny, and Ghost Rider himself becomes a burning skull. Weapons include knives, shotguns, and chains. Roxy shows cleavage, and she and Johnny kiss several times (once quite passionately). Characters drink and smoke cigarettes; language includes "s--t," "damn," "son of a bitch," and "hell."

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the relationship between Johnny and his dad. How does Johnny's good intention lead to tragedy? Did Johnny have any other alternatives than working for the devil? How does the movie differentiate between the monstrous Johnny and the monstrous Blackheart? Why is one "good" and one "bad"? Is that easy to tell the difference between good guys and bad guys in real life? Why are so many action/superhero movies based on comic books? What's the appeal?

15 and up fine, but below that I would not recommend
This movie being a Marvel comic was marketed toward children. We took our 6 year old and our 9 year old and walked out after the first fifteen minutes of it. Images were VERY scary, demons, melting faces etc...

Good movie, but a little scary.
this was a great action film and i loved it, but i went to go see it in the theaters and i got scared so i left so i just waited till i got it on video.

Pretty good!
It's alot like The Covenant, so if you like that you'll also like Ghost Rider. It has similar graphics and a fairly similar plotline- good guys, bad guys, weird powers, ect. Pretty good movie!

Comic book entertainment
This is one of those movies you go to for pure entertainment value. If you are looking for an indepth plot,sex, or gorish violence this is not for you. This is just a bucket of popcorn and a soda, kickback and enjoy kinda movie. It does have the potential to be scary for younger viewers, but not any worse than spiderman or most other comic book movies.

This ride is bittersweet
I was not disappointed with this movie, but I wasn't truly impressed with it either. It was a good popcorn flick, but it was very wooden (especially becuase of Nick Cage.) The special effects were good, but it seemed like the villains in this movie died too easily. Depending on whether you like this kind of movie, you may or may not enjoy this. Best thing about the movie was Eva Mendes' part. I'd give this flick a shot just for the heck of it if I were you.

fabulous
I have always been a fan of Nic cage and once again he shines in Ghost Rider. The story is a classic between good and evil and ends on a note that lives on in a memory. It had my full attention the entire time. I wasnt too happy with Eva Mendes and think they could have done a better job in finding a different leading lady but I do feel she did the best she could and put forth the effort. Definitely a Saturday night popcorn movie.......

Great Movie!!!!!
This movie is one of the best action flicks I have ever seen! While for some people the movie may seem strange, if you like action sequences and don't mind a few gruesome deaths then this movie is perfect for you! The movie was rated PG-13 for languagew, which is minor, nothing your kid wouldn't hear in public or school. And also for Violence, this is big, if your kid gets scared easily this may not be the best movie, Blackheart has a gruesome way of dealing with people, he sucs all the life out of them leaving them shrunken grey mummies. OTher wise this is easily on of the best action films I have seen! Two thumbs up !!

Not very good
I went and saw this movie with my dad only because I think Nicholas Cage is one of the greatest actors, but deeper into the movie it was gorey and kind of satanic. So I wouldn't really recommend it, unless you like that type of stuff.

Not even worth the rental cost
The movie is quite honestly one of those movies I wish I had my 2 hours back or how ever long it was. The plot was weak and the character development was nil. Do not recommend to anybody and especially kids.

Not ok for 12 year olds
I thought that the evil characters that are shown are pretty intense. However, they are really cheesy, but I believe some of the dialog would make me think again whether my child would be able to distinguish good from evil. It leaves mixed messages. Nicolas Cage was too old for this role and the young actress and Cage had no chemistry.

good movie
this movie had alot of violance including being killed or getting your soul taken away by the devil. it also got kinda confusing to.over all not for kids under 10.
