The 2007 adaptation of Ghost Rider rarely tops anyone's Best Of list: a forgettable effects-laden placeholder that basically gave the studio something to market in February. Star Nicolas Cage was still a viable A-lister, and director Mark Steven-Johnson -- while imperfect -- still possessed a deep love and respect for the character. (His big-screen Daredevil is underrated.) Nonetheless, while it turned a mild profit at the box office, it failed to generate much enthusiasm from fans. With Iron Man heralding the arrival of the Marvel Cinematic Universe just one year later, it feels like the last gasp of a passing era in retrospect.
