And once Blaze already has the boy, the story still has another 45 minutes to go, until getting a little more fun for the Big Confrontation in the last 10. But as an actual film, the pacing is inconsistent, as the satanic hokum starts to be treated with a deadly-serious monotony and drags down all the fun that came before it. And Johnny Blaze pissing out fire is amusing, but it's used as a throwaway. The most gonzo moments, like a GWAR music-video, pop up in the Jekyll-and-Hyde scenes, Cage trying to tame The Rider and doing some hilariously cuckoo-bananas cackling and shrieking 'You will tell me or I will eat your stinking soul,' twirling his fiery chain, and driving like hell on his firey bike.

They should've gone big or gone home because an ambitiously ridiculous movie is more fun to watch than an aggressively dull one.Ĭonsidering the movie isn't trying to be a meditation on selling one's soul to the devil, it should be kind enough to deliver the awesome goods. Then again, whereas Neveldine and Taylor's 'Crank' was a fast and fun no-brainer and 'Crank 2: High Voltage' was ugly, bad-taste exploitation, their latest effort never cranks it into batshit-craziness. Whereas the first 'Ghost Rider' was a more Hollywoodized comic book, this one is darker and grittier like a horror-tinged neo-grindhouse pic.

To its credit, Neveldine and Taylor employ the same frenetic, in-your-face style of filmmaking (shooting scenes on rollerblades as the 'roller dolly' technique) used in their off-the-handle 'Crank' movies. It surely knows how trashy it is, with enough cheese to pour on a plate of nachos, but that snack food would be more delicious than the movie at hand. Goyer), laced with a tighter but half-cooked story and mostly lame one-liners, and uneven CG effects, 'Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance' might have rewarded us more fun with a hard R-rating.
