Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengence

Last night I finally watched Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengence (it was actually my son’s idea). I remember watching the first movie and thinking it was okay but not great. It must have done well enough to allow a sequel.

I found Spirit of Vengence to be one of the worst superhero movies that I have ever watched. It was painful. I did like the appearance of the Ghost Rider and some of the fight scenes were entertaining (although one sided). Also, the scene where the bad guy who supernaturally makes everything rot picking up the Twinkie with no effect was pretty funny. But the rest was rather boring.

I have tried to figure out if it was just a bad movie or if it was just that Nicholas Cage did a poor job. I really did not like his acting. But the storyline seemed rather weak as well. The movie just did not work.

Seriously, those who thought Batman v. Superman and Suicide Squad were bad movies, need to go back and revisit this movie!

If you want to watch the movie for free on Netflix, go for it. But I wouldn’t pay money for it.
