Why give such a universally hated movie three stars? Because it took a lame comic—a chain-wielding skeleton on a fiery motorcycle?—and made it somewhat fun. The DVD adds about 15 minutes to the movie, which we hear helped the story (we're not sure, since we didn't suffer through it in the theater); and it's better than other catastrophic comic-to-movie adaptations. (We're looking at you Catwoman…and Fantastic Four, Daredevil, Van Helsing…) Nic Cage is amusing as Johnny Blaze, an Evel Knievel–like stunt rider who unknowingly makes a deal with the devil, and in return must serve him as a flaming bounty hunter. Standout performances include Sam Elliott and a superhot Raquel Alessi (see her Maxim video here!), who plays the young Eva Mendes. You can rent Ghost Rider (Two-Disc Extended Cut), or watch it on one Blu-ray disc, which looks so great you can practically feel the fake fire. Sadly, it does nothing to make such a lame superhero cool.
