Let's cut to the chase: I thought it was really good and a true adaptation to Ghost Rider, ya things changed for the movie but it's way better than the shit job first movie.

Don't believe the critics: Yea, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance isn't another James Cameron's Avatar but did you honestly expect it to? Yea the story is weak and comic bookie but other than that the acting is great, visual effects were good as always and Neveldine/Taylor strike again. Now they don't have a bad movie. I honestly didn't know whether I would like it or not as the weekend came but the movie is better than said and showed, I will honestly be disappointed if they don't come out with a third and make it a trilogy. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance makes up for the first enough to where a reboot isn't necessary, I know it won't make alot in the box office due to alot of people for some reason not liking Nicolas Cage, when Nicolas Cage is one of the best and more successful actors as well as being in 60+ films. The Ghost Rider is inhuman this time and is brilliantly portrayed, Nicolas Cage does some great acting as well as the rest of the cast including the over looked Johnny Whitworth. The visuals are great, the 3-D is ok but doesn't shine until the end of the movie. I feel it's gonna be an over looked superhero film, it's not the 2003 hulk, or catwoman and is certainly not 2012's Green Lantern. Also
Mark Nevledine and Brian Taylor really shine as directors in this film, I don't think this film is anywhere near as good as Spider-Man or Captain America, but it proves that some sequels out do their predecessors. I feel it's Marvel's Dark Knight in some sense but that's just me. I'm one of those rare people that's gonna recommend this to you. It's not The Dark Knight but it's not Catwoman, It's not X-Men First Class but it's not it's predecessor. 8/10
