VIDEO: Nostalgia Critic's Review of GHOST RIDER 2: SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE

@Jollem knows where it's at.

It's totally a so bad it's awesome film, which is pretty much all of Neveldine/Taylor's filmography.

@Jollem

Yeah exactly! Crank especially since they worked with no budget. SOV is what I think of as a good example of making a low budget superhero film awesome. A better script would be good but I was more than pleased with what I got.

Wait, "For a film only slightly better than Mark Steven Johnson's 2007 bore-igin story"?! You honestly thought the sequel was better? I mean, that's your opinion, so I respect it, but I completely disagree. The first was bad, but you could at least see what they were trying to achieve. It had a simple narrative, a three act structure, was reasonably accessible, and had a few good action scenes. The second is just... I don't even know. That zany editing style pointed out in the video, where they dramatically fast forward through everything is just horrible. Nicolas Cage stopped playing anything that even nearly resembled Johnny Blaze, and just went nuts. While in most other films I'd give credit for allowing the actor to motion capture the CG character, with Ghost Rider it has the opposite effect. Ghost Rider becomes less a spirit of vengeance and more just Nicolas Cage if his head was a skull. And while the first wasn't exactly the most faithful film, the second was just pissing on the comics. Anyone remember the directors saying they literally just looked at an image of Blackout, without reading up on his character or anything, said he looked cool and wrote their own thing?

I've never found this guy to be that funny.
