Johnny Blaze is back with the second installment of the Ghost Rider movie franchise. The Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance was based from the Marvel Comics antihero with the same name and reprises by Nicholas Cage. Available on 3D and regular format, this action thriller film Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor and currently showing in all cinemas worldwide distributed by Columbia Pictures.
After accepting as bounty hunter of hell, Johnny Blaze (Cage) continue his responsibility as the Ghost Hunter but still searching for a way to escape from this curse. With a new task to save Danny (Fergus Riordan), the devil’s son, he embarks on a journey with Moreau (Idris Elba) and Nadya (Violante Placido) hoping to gain freedom from the pact he made with the devil before. The film will give moviegoers to see the characters more especially Blaze in his quest for freedom and what was his reason all along in entering the pact.
Unlike with the first installment of Ghost Rider movie, this sequel is less action but more on making the moviegoers understand more of the mayhems of Johnny Blaze. It gives the viewers to go deeper on the pain and hardship that Blaze is facing and how he wants it badly to take the Ghost Rider “curse” that he accepted during his pact with the devil. There are also scenes that are more explanatory in terms of devil and what is evil which were presented on a more visual way that is great on 3D.
With a more experimental camera angles and shoot, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance gives Johnny Blaze a better execution on how he fights his transition to become the Ghost Rider. With the perfect rock music, those scenes were very euphoric that you will actually enjoy the transition and how Blaze tries to block it but later he gives in. It may not be as action as the first movie, but it is worth the money and time to see the other side of Johnny Blaze, a character that will do anything to get out of the devil’s curse.
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance also stars Fergus Riordan, Ciarán Hinds, Violante Placido, Idris Elba Christopher Lambert and Johnny Whitworth. Directed by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, the sequel was written by David S. Goyer, Scott Gimple and Seth Hoffman. It is available on 3D and regular format, released by Marvel Knights, and distributed by Columbia Pictures.
