Glass shatters, flames and cinders float out the screen in extreme force. Spirit Of Vengeance shows what 3D can do at it's best alongside the wild camera-work from Neveldine and Taylor. The Ghost Rider takes control of several vehicles and tears up location after location, one scene includes a giant quarry digger that sets aflame and starts crushing bad guys and blowing stuff up taking down multiple enemies, and he also takes on a whole motorway full of the Devil's right hand men which ends up in more destruction. The story is basic and needs some more development but the 3D and action totally make up where the story doesn't. This time Johnny Blaze is on a mission to save a boy from the devil. It's great to see Nicolas Cage go mental in his roles, he actually goes insane and you can tell that by the look in his eyes. Packed with some of the most random and craziest images you'll ever see, Ghost Rider 2 will mess with your head. Spirit Of Vengeance ignites onto the screen in a mass of blazing carnage and sizzling hot 3D visual effects.

To make matters even worse, the plot is derivative, reminding me an awful lot of the far superior sci-fi classic Terminator 2: Judgment Day (a boy and his tough mother are protected by a once-bad, leather jacket wearing, partly human protector who rides a motorbike), the script is terrible (even Cage's wild eyed mad acting technique cannot detract from the awful dialogue), and there are some truly lousy performances from the supporting cast (worst offenders: Fergus Riordan as irritating kid Danny and Christopher Lambert as facially tattooed monk Methodius)- all of which had me struggling to stay awake. The other big clue that I would probably hate this film was the directorial team of Brian Taylor and Mark Neveldine, who were responsible for the ADHD Jason Statham action flick Crank, a film that annoyed me from start to finish. The first clue to the low quality of this film is its locale: as a rule, I find sequels that inexplicably take place in Eastern Europe to be inferior to the original, the seemingly exotic setting often chosen for no other reason than pure economics, productions costing less to film in places like Turkey and Romania. As it turns out, I should have listened to the masses: Spirit of Vengeance is virtually unwatchable, even for a Nic Cage fan like myself. I believe that I am in the minority for enjoying the original Ghost Rider, and I was looking forward to this sequel despite its current low IMDb rating of 4.3.

Title (Brazil): "Motoqueiro Fantasma: Espírito de Vingança" ("Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance") What else could a viewer expect from The Ghost Rider? My vote is six. The story is engaging, the acting is decent and the special effects are great. "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" is an underrated and entertaining sequel of the 2007 film. When Johnny Blaze awakes in the hospital, he joins to Nadya and Moreau to save Danny from Roarke and Ray. However, Ray uses a powerful weapon against the Ghost Rider and succeeds in abducting Danny. Meanwhile Ray subdues Nadya, but the Ghost Rider finds them and fights against Ray's gang. Moreau seeks out Johnny Blaze (Nicolas Cage) and offers to set him free of his Ghost Rider curse provided he protects Danny from Roarke (Ciarán Hinds), with whom Johnny made a deal years ago to save his father. However his mother Nadya (Violante Placido) rescues him while the priest Moreau (Idris Elba) protects them riding his motorcycle and they escape. In Eastern Europe, a commando led by Ray Carrigan (Johnny Whitworth) attacks a fortress protected by monks to abduct the boy Danny (Fergus Riordan).
