About Movie :-
Former stuntman and bounty hunter of rogue demons Johnny Blaze has been living in self-imposed exile, believing that his powers are a curse. But when he is approached by a member of a monastic order who is looking for someone to protect a mother and her son, who are being pursued by the devil in the figure of a man named Roarke, the Ghost Rider takes the case.
No matter what you can say about Nicolas Cage, he manages to entertain you in some way whether he’s in a good or bad movie. Even when you watch him in an awful film like The Wicker Man, his over-the-top acting entertains the hell out of you. The first Ghost Rider movie didn’t really showcase that exquisite talent of Cage’s, but it’s sequel Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance certainly showcases it! Directed by the frenetic style of the cult favorite Neveldine/Taylor duo, does this sequel fire on all cylinders, or should it have been extinguished before production went underway?

After the events of the first film, Johnny Blaze (Nicolas Cage) is hiding out in Eastern Europe. However, he’s brought out of hiding from an old friend named Moreau (Idris Elba), who offers him a job to save this boy (Fergus Riordan) from the Devil that’s trying to use him as an earth form. Blaze soon accepts the mission, and he teams up with Morceau and the boy’s mother (Violante Placido) to follow through. Unfortunately, they’re being pursued by Ray Carrigan (Johnny Whitworth), a mercenary ordered by the Devil to bring the boy to the proper venue of the ritual. And if that’s not enough going on, Blaze finds out that there’s a chance he can rid himself of his curse if he completes the mission. You know, a comic book movie like this shouldn’t have that much going on. Instead that amount of subplots belong in a hyperlink cinema movie.
Even though his career is a 50/50 split on the movies he has starred in, I still stick up for Nicolas Cage because of how he manages to be highly entertaining in just about every movie he stars in. In this film, his crazy over-the-top acting returns in solid form. His dialogue is riddled of unintentionally funny lines, but the way he delivers them wholeheartedly hearkens back to why I love Cage’s acting so much. One scene that highlights this aspect is where he’s trying to hide his transformation into the Ghost Rider, and he also breaks into maniacal Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans- esque laughter. Besides Cage though, there’s nobody else that even comes close to his acting. Idris Elba’s performance is extremely limited, as he’s really treated more as an extended cameo rather than a true supporting role. On the other hand, Violante Placido and Fergus Riordan are awful in their performances as the mother-son duo. They both have no emotional range in their line delivery as they remain one-note throughout, and they have no chemistry whatsoever when they’re on screen together. Johnny Whitworth is as over-the-top as Nicolas Cage is as the villain Blackout, but almost every one of his lines is a stupid pun that had me laughing for all the wrong reasons.
