Storyline

Review

A sequel to the immensely entertaining 2007 box-office hit Ghost Rider, 'Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance' turns out to be a fairly decent sequel, that has terrific action-sequences & brilliant 3D effects working on its advantage. But, 'Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance' is Strictly Popcorn Entertainment! 

'Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance' is fairly entertaining. Though the Screenplay Written by Scott Gimple, Seth Hoffman & David S. Goyer does offer some interesting moments, it gets lazy in the second-hour. It relies too much on Special Effects & Action-Sequences. Neveldine/Taylor's Direction is fair. Special Effects/3D Effects & Action-Sequences are Magnificent. Cinematography & Editing are passable.

Performance-Wise: Academy-Award-Winner Nicolas Cage returns as Johnny Blaze/Ghost Rider, and, like always, he is sincere & honest. Johnny Whitworth is functional. Violante Placido & Fergus Riordan support well, while Idris Elba & Christopher Lambert leave a strong impact.

On the whole, 'Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance' is Strictly Popcorn Entertainment.
