“It couldn’t have happened to a nicer movie. From the nastiness of the Gary Friedrich case to the unpleasant and unprofessional treatment this and many other websites received from a bumbling SOPA loving promotional firm in the run-up to the premiere, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance had a lot of baggage. That, and it’s a sequel to one of the most universally loathed, creatively bankrupt comic book movies in history. For me personally, it was the longest 90 minutes I’ve spent at the movies in a long, long time. It’s a long-running joke that Nicolas Cage runs the gamut between great and terrible in his performances and in the projects he chooses. With Ghost Rider, he’s two for two. Comics and comics fans deserve better.”
