Action was great... Everything else was meh! at best. I agree with the guy in red. 5 out of 10. Crack head Johnny Blaze just kind of kills it for me. Still enjoyed the movie for what it was though. Sort of!

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!! I wasn't expecting MACBETH, but the story doesn't resolve anything for BLAZE, He agrees to help retrieve the Boy (Danny) that Rourke (the Devil) is after, because he is promised that his curse will be lifted, which it is, and in an awfully plain way I must add. After that he still stays involved? Why? what the Hell does he think he can do, and why does he care about this boy and his Mother, he just met them like a day ago, then Danny discovers he has the powers of the Devil, which apparently he had to be told this before he could use them, and does so by giving Blaze his curse back to defeat Rourke, w/o even asking, so it's not like Blaze sacrifices his humanity for the greater good, it's just thrust back upon him with some changes. If the kid has the powers of the Devil, why doesn't he defeat the bad guys himself, why would he give Blaze back the one thing he spent the entire movie stating he does not want? Then Blaze is OK with it because now apparently he can feel the angel ZARATHOS, the Rider once was, upon him? Granted now he has more control over it and can change day or night and has some kinda healing/resurrection gift, but in the end he's only slightly better off than when he started. I wish the kid had turned all the power back on the Devil to send him to Hell, fighting fire with fire, and kept the Ghost Rider curse for himself, since he seems to like THE RIDER, and in another movie he is played by a teen actor and takes over for Blaze, which would have been a more satisfying resolution. Then they could be preparing for a MIDNIGHT SONS film!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. Worst movie ever made. What the heck was that? Dark, European grunge. I should have realized that the only return was Nick Cage. Does he have no filter at all? They even had to rewrite the original deal with the devil, b/c Peter Fonda wanted nothing to do with this. If he gladly took back his powers in movie 1, so he could continue to battle evil, why is he suddenly hiding out, glumly, in Turkey? The whole thing was a mish mosh of dark scenes, bad editing, lack of any caring for the characters, bad directing. Horrible script. The few attempts at humor were trite and overplayed. Very disappointed. What a waste of $26 and 90 minutes (though it felt like 2.5 hours!)
