Ghost Rider is one of the newest movie released by Marvel in 2007 directed by Mark Steven Johnson. The film started with a flashback where Carter Slade, a horse rider, made a deal with Mephistopheles, the devil, to become the Ghost Rider (in the comics, it is called the Phantom Rider). Ghost rider is sent to retrieve the contract with a thousand souls in the town in San Venganzas. But Carter Slade thought that it is dangerous to hand the contract to Mephistopheles, instead, he escaped with the contract in his hand.
A century has passed, Johnny Blaze and his father, Barton Blaze, performs as a stunt motorcycle driver. Johnny Blaze realized that his father is dying of lung cancer due to his frequent smoking. Mephistopheles went to Johnny Blaze to handle him a contract to sign over his soul. In exchange, Mephistopheles promised that his father's sickness would be cured if he signed the contract. But as Johnny looked at the contract, he cuts his fingers while he is about to read the contract. Then when he woke up in the morning, he saw his father awake like nothing had happened, but later killed in his motorcycle riding stunt. Johnny knew that Mephistopheles killed his father, Mephistopheles told Johnny that he owns his soul. This forced him to leave his girlfriend, Roxanne Simpson. Years has passed, Johnny Blazed performs as a stunt motorcycle driver, but he used to do several impossible stunts like crossing over buses and helicopters, as his father told him about his plans on his next stunt. While he is in the middle of his fame, he met his abandoned girlfriend and now an interviewer for the television show, Roxanne. After the interview, he promised Roxanne to take her out, but due to the contract Johnny signed, every night, he transforms into a Ghost Rider. In that form, he is able to defeat the forces of evil led by Blackheart, Mephistopheles' son.
Upon reviewing the movie, Ghost Rider, the animation and effects is good, but the action is very minimal. Blackheart is just like a human compared to the character found in video games, comics, and the series. I would rate the movie a total of 8/10 upon review.
Cast:
Nicholas Cage - Johnny Blaze/Ghost Rider
Eva Mendez - Roxanne Simpson
Peter Fonda - Mephistopheles
Wes Bentley - Blackheart

Transformers: Film
The Transformers film would be launched in July 4, 2007. I think this is one of the greatest fantasy films in 2007. All the robots have been evolved into more mechanical form, exposing their gears and wirings that control their bodies.
The cast of characters in the movie are still the same as the characters found in the classic Transformers series but some robots differs like Megatron who transforms into a tank instead of a big gun.
Generations have passed, the rivalry between Megatron and Optim
