Movie Review: Ghost Rider (2025)
Hell has a new driver.
Ghost Rider (2025) roars back onto the screen in a gritty, full-throttle reboot that delivers blistering visuals, a darker mythology, and the most intense version of Marvel’s flame-headed antihero yet. Directed by Robert Rodriguez, this reimagined origin story isn’t just a superhero film — it’s a supernatural western with gasoline in its veins and vengeance in its heart.
Starring Gabriel Luna in a career-defining return as Robbie Reyes (yes, this time it’s the muscle car Ghost Rider), the film centers on a cursed street racer from East Los Angeles who finds himself bonded with the Spirit of Vengeance after a cartel ambush gone wrong. But this isn’t just about revenge — it’s about legacy, justice, and fighting the evil that hides in plain sight.
Luna brings brooding charisma and emotional weight to the role, balancing rage and remorse with a quiet, haunted intensity. The flaming Charger — redesigned with infernal runes and chain-scorched wheels — feels like a character in its own right. And the Rider’s new look? Sleeker, scarier, and more demonic than ever, with a blazing skull that pulses like a furnace.
The villain, Mephisto (played with silky menace by Christoph Waltz), is less comic book and more cosmic horror — whispering deals from behind mirrors and shadows, always a step ahead. The final act, set in a hell-drenched version of downtown LA, is a visual inferno that feels part Blade Runner, part Dante’s Inferno.
The film doesn’t hold back. From high-octane car chases to soul-burning stare-downs, every moment is soaked in fire and fury. But at its core, Ghost Rider (2025) is a story about redemption — a man with nothing left to lose fighting to become something more than a monster.
⭐ Rating: 8.8/10 — AStylish, savage, and soaked in brimstone. Ghost Rider is the fiery comeback Marvel fans didn’t know they needed.
