Sony has made the film absolutely no one was asking for, a Ghost Rider sequel! Who in their right mind green lit this film? A reboot/relaunch I can understand, but a sequel starring Nic Cage? Horrible! Then again, I can also understand their blind desire to get a second Marvel Comics franchise off the ground. But wouldn’t they have been much better off with a soft reboot than an official sequel?
It’s not all negative though. The first official trailer for Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance is actually pretty good (well all except the last few seconds). I love Ghost Rider’s new look, and the action scenes look great. It’s just too bad they had bring back Cage as Johnny Blaze. And why in the hell is there a scene of Ghost Rider peeing fire? That’s just bizarre.
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance blazes into theaters on February 17, 2012.
