Ghost Rider : Spirit Of Vengeance (2011) 7/10

Starring : Nicolas Cage, Violante Placido, Ciaran Hinds, Idris Elba, Johnny Whitworth, Fergus Riordan
Director : Mark Neveldine & Brian Taylor
Running Time : 96 mins

Johnny Blaze (Cage) is called back into action from his hiding place in Eastern Europe when a monk named Moreau (Elba) asks him to save a young boy named Danny (Riordan) and his mother Nadya (Placido) who are both in danger from the evil Roarke (Hinds) who plans on using the boy to take human form on Earth.

Ghost Rider isn’t a jokey comic book, so I don’t know why Cage plays the role in a borderline jokey fashion. I guess it’s to make his psychotic behaviour seem a little more unbalanced, which I guess is a good departure from the first movie which really didn’t portray the character in a faithful fashion. Fanso f the original movie will hate the changes in his character, but fans of the comic books will love the loyalty to the original Johnny Blaze character and the move toward a more overtly violent Ghost Rider.
