Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
Released 2011
Final Score: 4/34
Jeff: 6/34
Critics: 1/34
Audience: 1/34
Rating 3/34

As Johnny Blaze hides out in Eastern Europe, he is called upon to stop the devil, who is trying to take human form.

What the critics said: With a weak script, uneven CG work, and a Nicholas 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.

What I said: A movie that is probably far worse than it feels after watching it, to say the film felt incomplete is not doing it justice, the CGI and the action sequences were very uneven in terms of finished quality.

It is a little shocking for me to say this but it is weird that we did not get a third Ghost Rider Film, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance actually made a decent profit in its theatrical release.
 

Rating the Marvel Universe on Film - Number 31

Clearly I liked this movie slightly better than the audience (3/32) which is not really saying much considering it's company at this level.   Half-a-dozen of one six of the other.     This is a film where it is clear you can see where they started running out of money during production and a few dollars more would have helped its quality, but probably not it's bottom line.
