A few days ago I made fun of the release of the new poster for Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance and how, with all the news coming out of considerably more exciting characters, coming from better quality productions, no one really cared.
As if determined to prove me right, the second trailer for Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance has arrived, and, well, the action looks ok. But the film’s plot, acting and dialogue look decidedly subpar.
But don’t take my word for it. See for yourself.
Set several years after the first film finds Johnny Blaze in self-imposed exile from the world. Blaze has become a tormented soul, convinced that his powers are a curse. Former stuntman Blaze is then approached by Moreau, a member of the monastic order of Michael, the warrior angel. Moreau seeks a protector for a mother and son duo who are being pursued by a figure named Roarke – a fellow with a detailed knowledge of the Ghost Rider and his different identities over the centuries. Directed by Mark Nevaldine and Brian Taylor, and starring Nicolas Cage, Idris Elba, Johnny Whitworth and Ciarán Hinds, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance is set to his theatres on February 17, 2012!

Those one-liners only work if spoken by an overly-muscled Austrian.
Yeah but I’m still gonna see it with a big smile on my face.
