Ghost Rider - Spirit of Vengeance


Movie Name: Ghost Rider - Spirit of Vengeance
Language: English
Genre: Action, Drama, Fantasy

I was waiting eagerly for the next installment of Ghost Rider. But this one was not at par with the first movie. This time, Johnny Blaze (Nicholas Cage) gets an opportunity to get the curse lifted. For that he need to save a boy from the clutches of Devil and take it to monastery. This movie deals mainly with the conflict within Blaze which had arisen due to his alternate personality as Ghost Rider. The movie ends with a note where viewer can expect another installment.

The age has started to show its signs for Nicholas Cage. He has depicted the conflict within the Blaze very well. Idris Elba also was unable to impress as Moreau. Christopher Lambert was in a guest role which was neither significant nor impressive. The plot was okay but the direction did not help to cater the requirements of action flick lovers. The plot has huge potential which was left untapped. The 3D and actions scenes were good but not much genuine.

The music and Ghost Rider scenes are somewhat able to compensate for the lacking luster but they are not enough to keep you bound to the seat. I had much expectations with this one but it failed miserably. Still I will suggest it only to the people who have seen and liked the first one.

My ratings are 3.0/5.0
