GHOST RIDER: SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE [2011]

After Mark Steven Johnson's excruciatingly bad take on Marvel's lacklustre Ghost Rider character, Crank witer/director's Brian Taylor & Mark Nelvedine take over for the sequel, Spirit Of Vengeance.
The original film seemed to take itself a little more seriously than it should have, so it was nice to see the sequel indulge itself in the ridiculous trash that it is.  It looks and acts like a Crank film starring Nicholas Cage and toned down by a major studio.  Cage acts like he knows it'll become a series of animated gifs & Youtube clips, which quickly loses it's charm.  
While it might not be as bad as the first film, this one is still pretty bad.

I only saw the first 25 minutes and maybe the last 5 minutes of the first film.

I hated it.
