Nicolas
Cage
is
back
as
Johnny
Blaze
in
a
sequel
to
2007"s
Marvel
Comics
Ghost
Rider.
Titled
Ghost
Rider:
Spirit
of
Vengeance,
the
movie
is
a
non-stop
thrill
ride
filled
with
fire
and
decayed
flesh.
But
like
the
first
Ghost
Rider
movie,
this
one
also
burns
plenty
of
rubber
around
plot
holes.
Ghost
Rider:
Spirit
of
Vengeance
is
a
3D
superhero
film
based
on
the
Marvel
Comics
antihero
Ghost
Rider.
Nicolas
cage's
adrenaline-fuelled
performance
is
the
major
attraction
of
the
film.
Stunning
visuals
and
special
effects
are
its
other
highlights.
But
except
some
redeeming
qualities,
the
movie
seems
to
be
a
bad-ass.
Johnny
Blaze
(Cage),
a
man
who
swapped
his
soul
to
save
his
father,
is
hiding
out
in
Eastern
Europe
in
a
vain
attempt
to
control
the
demon
that
takes
over
his
life
from
time
to
time
and
turns
him
into
a
fiery,
skeletal,
motorcycle
riding
man-killer.
A
French
priest
(Idris
Elba)
comes
looking
for
Johnny
to
enlist
his
help
to
save
an
adolescent
boy,
who
has
been
kidnapped
by
devils.
The
devil
(Ciaran
Hinds)
would
like
to
teach
own
ways
to
the
child
(Fergus
Riordan),
who
was
fathered
by
the
devil.
The
child
has
a
good
human
mother
(Violante
Placido).
But
if
the
child
is
not
saved
from
the
bad
guys,
a
new
evil
will
be
unleashed
on
the
world.
David
S
Goyer
penned
script
looks
grim
and
ugly
with
many
plot
holes
taking
a
ridiculous
premise.
The
characters
have
been
written
thinly
and
the
dialogues
are
very
bad
and
terrific.
Like
the
first
Ghost
Rider
movie
does
not
showcase
effects
good
enough
to
make
up
for
all
its
shortcomings.
It
may
appeal
to
one
particular
camp.
Although
the
movie
lacks
the
typical
punch
lines,
Nicolas
Cage
makes
sure
that
he
keeps
the
legend
going
and
he
once
again
makes
the
good
win
over
evil.
In
a
nutshell,
although
Ghost
Rider:
Spirit
of
Vengeance
looks
like
one
bad-ass,
one
cannot
stop
enjoying
the
stunning
stunts
of
Cage.
