Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance Movie Reviews

Boy oh boy! The Ghost Rider (Johnny Blaze/Nicolas Cage) is back... this time to set the screen ablaze, literally! There's more action, more speed runs, more bombing, more hi-tech equipment (sulphur guns and bombs), more biking craze, more screaming, more pacts with the devil, more good versus evil wars, more special effects 3D style... and much more Nicolas Cage. Yes, watch your Johnny blaze the screen with more adrenaline-fuelled stunts

We all love a bad boy superhero. After all, wasn’t the third Spider-Man film — in which Peter Parker traded his red suit for black, becoming deliciously evil in the process — the most watched in the franchise? Five years after the Marvel Comics anti-hero had its maiden screen outing in Ghost Rider, the franchise opts for a mediocre reboot that gives stiff competition to the agonisingly dull original. Set eight years after the first film, Johnny Blaze a.k.a Ghost Rider

Look, I dig Ghost Rider. As I said when reviewing the first Ghost Rider movie (one that I still believe holds up as a passable guilty-pleasure) the comic-book antihero's appeal lies in his darkness, his badassery and his extreme heavy-metallitude. That, and the motorcycle. Having said that, I don't think most issues of Ghost Rider I pored over as a child were ever actually well written. The story -- of a man who sold his soul to the devil, to moonlight as a bounty-hunter by night

It remains a mystery how the turgid 2007 campfest Ghost Rider made $228 million worldwide, considering the movie's sophistry was on the level of a kid floating his plastic boat in a bathtub. But somehow people filled theatre seats and as a result we now have an even more horrid sequel slash reboot - Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. The new film, just like the first one wears its grindhouse crudeness as a badge of honour. There's plenty of bad dialogue
