Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance - 27 Second Review

Written by: Scott M. Gimple, Seth Hoffman & David S. Goyer, based on a story by Goyer, which was in turn based on the Marvel character created by Roy Thomas, Gary Friedrich & Mike Ploog
Directed by: Mark Neveldine & Brian Taylor
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Ciaran Hinds, Idris Elba, Violante Placido, Anthony Head & Christopher Lambert

Review: Aside from the occasional really fun demon-murder sequences (see spitting bullets, quarry machine hell-steed), I was largely unimpressed. And I'm easy to impress with a fire demon that can kill with a chain. But the biggest disappointment was the fact that you can have Idris Elba in an action movie and have it still suck. Like many things, he loses some appeal when he's French.

Time: 17 seconds
