Well this is a rant and it is a rant about the Sequel to the Average Ghost Rider movie back in 2010 Starring Nicolas Cage, an Actor whose range of Acting doesn't go far and he plays the same character with his Grey tone. This Sequel is as bad as it gets, never have I seen a Second movie attached to the original and yet so distanced from the first. The effects are dire and needed to be upgraded from the Commodore 64 graphics that they were designed from.
Like many Sequels to already average movies, the story is always lacking and the whole Movie relies heavily on cheap special effects tricks to carry it through. There is no real sense of anything with Johnny Blaze having tried to suppress the Rider and subsequently failing at it. It's all very Matter Of Fact and just a general waste of screen time/Celluloid and the lackluster talents of Mr Cage. I was waiting for something to grab me at some point in this movie and nothing did. The title of the movie was a promising and almost teasing subtitle which drew fond memories from my Childhood reading the comic books with Danny Ketch as the Kid who turned into the Ghost Rider and that was abolished when the opening sequence failed to do anything remotely cool or enthusiastic.
The last straw of this movie would be when the Ghost Rider pisses fire all over the place and this was treated as a "Hey look I'm so cool!" type of moment that just seemed like they was acknowledging the fact that the film makers here were pissing all over a Marvel Comics long running and popular character. The unwritten rule of understanding when it comes to these comic book movies is that they will and should follow on from each movie and show a development of character and sort of see a journey from one point to the other, but this did nothing. It just tread water the entire run of the film.
I was very disappointed with this movie and I guess it's another big Fuck you to Nicolas Cage!
