Spirit Of Vengeance actually makes the first Ghost Rider look like some kind of groundbreaking masterpiece. This movie just fails in almost every possible way, but at the end of the day, the majority of the blame can be put towards the piss-poor script. It's chalk-full of stupidity and unintentional laughs, but the tone of the film is dead serious. It's kind of hard to enjoy a movie that contains cringe-inducing dialogue, absolutely awful villains, a half-baked story that doesn't really make sense (but attempts to make it seem like it had a deep and engrossing story line) and multiple scenes of Johnny Blaze as Ghost Rider pissing fire with a straight face. The whole time I was left thinking "This would've been great if it had a better script". They really should have just had Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor write this. If they had written it, this would've have been completely amazing. Their scripts don't take themselves seriously and they have really mastered the art of making corny films that are entertaining and fun as all hell.
Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance is an exercise in pure crap without any form of entertainment value. This is an incoherent, terribly acted, movie that is crippled even further by a dogshit script that seems like it was written by an 8-year old. The action scenes don't even serve as a saving grace. I don't mind a corny movie (I actually really enjoy over-the-top movies), but when there is little to no fun to be had, it just becomes a very unpleasant experience. A complete and total missed opportunity to say the least.
1.5/5 Stars
