Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance: Blu Ray Review
Rating: M
Released by Warner Home Video
When a package shouts loudly that it's from the producers of Crank, maybe you will have an idea what's ahead.

Nicolas Cage (in OTT loony mood) is back as Johnny Blaze, who's struggling with his curse and trying to lie low in Eastern Europe.
But when he's recruited to try and save a young boy from the devil, it looks like Blaze has no choice but to embrace his fiery side and use the Rider to save the day.
Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance is nothing short of bonkers and nothing short of quite disappointing.
The directors should really have dialled back Cage's craziness - sure, it's based on a comic strip, but thanks to a pointless plot and some not particularly eye catching CGI, it ends up being nothing more than a mess to be honest. Sure, it's going for trashy but it never quite hits the mark - and while Idris Elba and Ciaran Hinds add a certain class to the story, they can't do enough to save it.
Extras: Video commentary, deleted scenes and a doco

Thanks for the review of Spirits of Vengeance, Darren. Sadly, as a Ghost Rider fan I was disappointed to see that they made a sequel and they allowed Nic Cage to reprise the role. Today that is a good thing! I have a weekly B Movie contest with some of my DISH coworkers to see who can bring in the worst film. I just added Ghost Rider 2 to the top of my Blockbuster @Home rental queue and I should have it mid week. Trusting Nic to be his old loony toony self should grant me a win this week.
