Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
I didn't think the first one was too bad (and I have nothing against Nicholas Cage) but Spirit of Vengeance felt like it was even worse than the first film. The story wasn't very original and the way that events played out, the plot twists and the like, it felt that it was all done in other films before already. There were a few moments, with the special effects happening onscreen, that you can't take it seriously coz it defies logic or what you'd expect (even from a fictional point of view). The flashing scenes during the Ghost Rider's transformation or when Carrigan decays his victims, they seem to feel amateurish and not used to great effect. The boy being the devil's son, the most important character in the movie, they tried to make him a bit badass, but it fails. The CGI was surprisingly bad in some scenes for a movie that seems quite well known. It's hard to invest into this since it gets dull many times. There are some design changes, and not really for the better. His bike seems more tame.
