Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance 
*Action*Fantasy*Thriller 
(Originally a comic book series by Marvel)


Director: Mark Neveldine, Brian Taylor
Cast: Nicholas Cage, Ciaran Hinds, & Idris Elba 

Johnny Blaze is BACK! Johnny Blaze, a rebel stunt-devil motorcycle rider who sold his soul to the devil to "save his father's life" tries to run from his curse by traveling the world. Until he wakes up in Moreau's, Idris Elba, city and is offered a chance to redeem his soul. 


I have enjoyed this series! I honestly have not seen a horrible Nicholas Cage movie yet! However for a $1 movie this was definitely not a waste for me. In this movie Nicholas Cage does a great job at humanizing a character who was created for evil purposes. Nicholas humanizes his character well through his interactions with charming yet cunning Danny. Leaving Johnny's audience hoping that he will figure out how to save Danny from losing his soul forever! My favorite scene is when Johnny Blaze turned the construction site machine into the ultimate "Mortal Kombat" fatality death! The graphics for this scene were very detailed and it was not overly computer generated. Let's just say if I was in that movie I would have left as soon as I saw Johnny get back up from the first attempt to demolish him!


 Redbox it or $1 movie it! Since it came out in the US Feb 2012 it is not at the main theaters but its worth seeing. I recommend catching up on the series during a laid back weekend!
