Critics Consensus: With a weak script, uneven CG work, and a Nic Cage performance so predictably loony it's no longer amusing, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance aims to be trashy fun but ends up as plain trash.

Joseph Garcia

The film revs and stalls, swerving between gritty and silly, with scorching action but a clichéd story, with fiery performances but burned out dialogue.

Leans into the campier elements of the character and Nicolas Cage, along with the directors, seems to be having a total blast and that comes across on screen.

This time, contrary to the first installment, the film is more entertaining for its fight sequences than for being a story about a blazing avenger. [Full review in Spanish]

Though Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance attempts to offer a new spin on this comic property without entirely rebooting the franchise, the result looks and feels thrown together.

This is a film that thinks it is more "quip-witted" than it really is, but will appeal as fun only to those who think flaming pee and firing a succession of hi-tech weapons at an undead demon is cool.
