Best movie of this year hands down!

hyped garbage

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

I'm not gonna say this is the superhero movie of the century, or that it's a breath of fresh air but it does a lot right. For a sequel to one of the worst superhero movies ever made, they got two directors who actually know what they wanted to do. Make it absolutely insane in every opportunity that the script gives us.Why does the action work so well here and actually make the film good? Because there's a comedic silliness to it all that you can so tell the filmmakers had a blast with. Scenes end with literal punchlines. Jokes are made through visuals. It's as smart of a comedy as it is of an action film. It's a smart-stupid movie and good for it. Nicolas Cage is giving his all and it's clever he did the motion capture work for Ghost Rider as it feels like a Nicolas Cage character. It's one of the better superhero movies I've seen in a while.

Watched Ghost Rider:Spirit Of Vengeance Featuring Nicolas Cage(National Treasure:Book Of Secrets ) as Johnny Blaze/Ghost Rider , Johnny Whitworth( Factory Girl) as Ray Carrigan/Blackout, Fergus Riordan(Fragile) as Danny Ketch , Violante Placido(The American) as Nadya Ketch, Christopher Lambert(Beowulf) as Methodius, Anthony Head(Merlin) as Benedict ,Spencer Wilding(The Golden Compass) as Grannick, Vincent Regan(Clash Of The Titans) as Toma Nikasevic, Idris Elba(Thor) as Moreau and Ciaran Hinds(The Rite) as Roarke. This film is guilty pleasure of mine I didn't mind it Love the Supernatural aspect of it also Johnny Blaze is using his own curse against Satan himself and Moreau was cool but I found The kid annoying also A Guilty Pleasure Of The Superhero Genre. Amazing Costume Design from Bojana Nikitovic(Coriolanus ),Cinematography By Brandon Trost(The FP ), Screenplay By Scott M.Gimple(Life),Seth Hoffman(Flashforward) and David S.Goyer(Blade II) , Music By David Sardy(Zombieland) and Direction By Mark Neveldine(Crank) & Brian Taylor(Gamer) A Guilty Pleasure Of The Superhero Genre 7/10

This is the apotheosis of a hit and miss movie. There are as many things wrong with it as there are right.The most disturbing factor in the movie is Nicholas Cage's acting. He doesn't even appear to be playing himself (as is the case with most of his movies). For the entire movie, you get the feeling he would rather be elsewhere as his performance appears lackadaisical. There's no conveyance of any character and no chemistry between Cage / Johnny Blaze and any of the others involved.Then there are the soul-taking sequences. These are way too long. By the time the Ghost Rider starts to pull out a soul and actually remove it from its body completely, the bad guys have enough time to, get in their vehicles and drive to the nearest army base... overthrow the soldiers... hack into the weapons room... decrypt the nuclear missile codes... and launch them at The Rider... as I said, way too long. These scenes verge on the ridiculous and I nearly turned off at this point.Which would have been a shame because I would've missed some of the good things about this movie. The concept of whatever The Rider rides becomes his hell on wheels is inspired as this allows for the transformation of a van and a drilling machine. These are pretty awesome scenes. The last chase scene is pretty decent and packed with action.It was also pretty nice to see Christopher Lambert as the mad monk Methodius.Apart from Nicholas Cage, the rest of the cast were okay. Not outstanding by any means. Though the strongest actor was Idris Elba as Moreau, and even he wasn't at his best. This could have been down to the direction of Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, who did a great job of all the action sequences but weren't too hot when handling the acting and there are too many sequences that feel "thrown in".If you enjoyed the first Ghost Rider movie or enjoy the Comic Books then you may enjoy this but I would not recommend it to anybody who wasn't a fan of The Ghost Rider.

I wanted to like the first Ghost Rider movie I really did but when you've got Mark Steven Johnson directing there isn't much you can do to save the film. When I found out he wasn't directing the sequel I thought that maybe the sequel would be okay, I was wrong. This movie much like Batman and Robin is a guideline for what not to do when making a comic book movie. There was a time when Nicholas Cage giving an over the top performance was entertaining as hell but in this film it just tiresome, and he's still one of the better actor in this God awful movie because he at least knows how to act he might not do it well but he knows how to. These other actors, no disrespect to them as people, don't seem to know what they are doing especially that annoying kid. The CGI in this is sort of hard to look at, I mean how do you have a budget this big and still make such terrible effects, did they use up all the money on the Ghost Rider's skull which I admit does look kind of cool. My biggest complaint in this movie full of things to complain about is the forced comedy like that joke about the flamethrower. I know they were trying to make the film more lighthearted but they should of just embraced the darkness of the Ghost Rider source material. This is easily not just one of the worst comic book movies I've ever seen but also just one of the worst films I've ever seen and with all the crap I've seen that's saying something. My advice to anyone who's thinking about watching this, don't.
