Description: A fiery motorcycle roars through the desert of the soul, mirroring the internal combustion of Johnny Blaze's tormented spirit in Mark Steven Johnson's "Ghost Rider." This isn't just a superhero flick; it's a visceral exploration of damnation and redemption, a morality play cloaked in dazzling CGI. Nicolas Cage embodies the conflicted anti-hero with a raw intensity, his performance a flickering flame against the backdrop of supernatural dread. While the plot occasionally stumbles, the film's haunting imagery and exploration of sacrifice linger long after the credits roll, leaving a lasting impression of both darkness and unwavering hope. A flawed but fascinating descent into the underworld of the human psyche.
