Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance: Blu Ray Review

Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance: Blu Ray Review

Rating: M
Released by Warner Home Video

When a package shouts loudly that it's from the producers of Crank, maybe you will have an idea what's ahead.

Nicolas Cage (in OTT loony mood) is back as Johnny Blaze, who's struggling with his curse and trying to lie low in Eastern Europe.

But when he's recruited to try and save a young boy from the devil, it looks like Blaze has no choice but to embrace his fiery side and use the Rider to save the day.

Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance is nothing short of bonkers and nothing short of quite disappointing.

The directors should really have dialled back Cage's craziness - sure, it's based on a comic strip, but thanks to a pointless plot and some not particularly eye catching CGI, it ends up being nothing more than a mess to be honest. Sure, it's going for trashy but it never quite hits the mark - and while Idris Elba and Ciaran Hinds add a certain class to the story, they can't do enough to save it.

Extras: Video commentary, deleted scenes and a doco
