Plot: (from imdb.com) As Johnny Blaze hides out in
Eastern Europe, he is called upon to stop the devil, who is trying to take
human form.
Review: And I thought the first Ghost Rider was bad.
This franchise has the same problem that the Alien vs Predator franchise had.
The first movie was an overpolished, studio meddled, sanitized version of what
the movies should have been. The sequels showed promise of being more violent
and gory, but in the end were worse and felt cheap. This version of Ghost Rider
almost feels like an Asylum movie. The look just feels cheap. The story is also
bad. Who cares about this kid? I don’t want to see Ghost Rider protecting a
kid, I just want him to kick ass.
Why
is Mephisto now called Roark? This makes no sense, did they just want us to
forget it was Peter Fonda in the first one? Idris Elba is kind of cool but why
did they make him a French guy? If you’re looking for some crazy Nicolas Cage,
this is the right place. He’s constantly acting like a meth addict because he’s
trying to keep Ghost Rider at bay. Since when is Ghost Rider like the Hulk? The
one positive I can give is the look of Ghost Rider. They made the flames more smoky
and dirty. It feels more dangerous and fits the character better than the clean
polished look of the original. Maybe one day Marvel will get the rights back
and do the character justice, but for now these movies are what we got sadly.
Score: 4/10
