One of the most visually interesting movies I've ever seen. Cheeky funny.Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance is insane. And you just want to watch them over and over. There are a couple of scenes that are a hoot. Cage eats scenery and blows everyone except Idris Elba off the screen. Even with all this sexy icing on top, the movie has a keen sense of what it actually is. Hero-with-a-past goes up against slick-baddie to save an innocent. Remove the crazy stuff, and you've got a standard A-to-B action flick. And a superhero/supernatural movie, second. Sometimes the henchmen are standing around, with their jaws drooping, wondering 'What the **** is he at?' And that's what I was hoping to see.5. Above all else: GR must be cool/badass/awesome/etc. As a huge lifelong fan of Ghost Rider, I love the 1970s comic book, I come to this movie with certain expectations.
If you can get past the first five minutes, and are happy to accept who A, B and C are and why they are doing what they are doing, then the rest is just the fun of watching them fight it out. The narrative immediately establishes who the bad guy is, what the bad guy wants, and why the good guys must stop him. The story is simple, tight, and never stops advancing. Everything pops up, advances the story, and - pretty much - isn't used again.3. When the characters are standing around talking, they are doing so in a cool-looking place. There are cool things to look at in there.
