Idris Elba is also in this movie for some reason and he's great in anything, even if his character is completely throwaway. You can tell he's invested in the role, and his dedication really holds this movie together. Nicolas Cage is always enjoyable to watch. But I'll be fair, not all of this movie sucks. I mean, the dialogue alone tries to take itself seriously but ends up providing really good unintentional laughs. So you may be asking yourself, "why give it a 4/10 if it's so awful?" Well, I'm a sucker for laughably bad movies and this definitely qualifies. The writing in this movie is especially horrendous did they hire a 10 year old to do the screenplay? It sure as hell seems like it. This movie just pisses on Ghost Rider's origin (literally) and expects you to enjoy watching sh*t blow up for the sake of sh*t blowing up. You can tell this is the same guy that directed Crank: the difference is that movie didn't need any substance because the premise was so fun. It's just a bunch of things happening on screen oozing with CGI to make up for the complete lack of substance. It throws you right into the action with no exposition. No part of this movie is fleshed out and none of it is interesting. The first Ghost Rider was campy and stupid, but it was a watchable popcorn action movie and it had Eva Mendes (hence, watchable). Is Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance one of them? Hell no. The guy has some hidden gems in his career. I'll watch anything the guy does no matter how terrible the reviews are, and sometimes I'll be pleasantly surprised, as was the case with "Seeking Justice", "Drive Angry", and "Kiss of Death". ![]() ![]() But then, Mephisto manages to escape with the boy, so Ghost Rider and Nadia follow in pursuit.Īfter the incident, the two chase after Mephisto, Carrigan and their men on the desert highway, and after a harsh and lengthy vehicular battle, Ghost Rider finally manages to gain the upper hand in the conflict and kill Carrigan by flipping him out of the tender, ultimately defeating him.Okay, I'm a Nic Cage fanboy. Carrigan kills Moreau, but Danny, who was revealed to share Mephisto's powers, gives Blaze back his powers and then he turns into the Rider and kills the other monks who were in the compound, but fails in subduing Carrigan once again.
