Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance

Johnny Blaze, living in seclusion and trying to control his fiery alter ego, is recruited by a monastic order to protect a young boy from the devil, who desires the child's soul to solidify his human form. Blaze must confront his past and unleash the Ghost Rider to save the boy and prevent the world from falling into darkness.

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance was met with overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics and was a box office disappointment. While some acknowledged the continuation of the dark, gritty tone established by the directors, most found the film to be nonsensical, overly violent, and lacking in coherent storytelling and character development. Nicolas Cage's performance was a frequent point of discussion, often described as erratic and over-the-top.

• Critics widely panned the film for its convoluted plot and excessive, often gratuitous, violence.

• Nicolas Cage's performance was frequently cited as distractingly eccentric, further detracting from any potential seriousness.

• The visual effects and action sequences were seen as a weak attempt to compensate for a lack of substance.

Google audience: Audience reviews largely mirrored critical sentiment, with many viewers finding the movie loud, nonsensical, and ultimately unenjoyable. Common complaints included the weak story, poor dialogue, and a general sense of disappointment compared to expectations.

Nominated for 2 Golden Raspberry Awards: Worst Actor (Nicolas Cage) and Worst Remake, Rip-off or Sequel. It lost both.

During the filming of a scene where the Ghost Rider is spitting fire, Nicolas Cage actually performed the stunt himself, spitting a mixture of methanol and green dye onto a flaming ball.
