What it's about:
In the successor to the worldwide hit Ghost Rider, Johnny - still struggling with his curse as the devil's bounty hunter - is hiding out in a remote part of Eastern Europe when he is recruited by a secret sect of the church to save a young boy (Fergus Riordan) from the devil (Ciaran Hinds).
At first, Johnny is reluctant to embrace the power of the Ghost Rider, but it is the only way to protect the boy - and possibly rid himself of his curse forever.
What the critics thought:
"This is a boring movie. The over-the-top outlandishness can't disguise that the whole 95 minutes represent one big snooze-fest."
- James Berardinelli, ReelViews
"Whether Cage is still paying off castles, appeasing the IRS, or rebuilding his comic book collection, it's clear he's decided, for now, to trade his talent for cold, hard cash."
- Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
"Ordinarily I'd be into the idea of seeing Nicolas Cage's face burn, but alas, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance is not a documentary."
- Kyle Smith, New York Post
