Really, the biggest flaw of Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance is that it's too damned tame. A Ghost Rider film should have an edge, and the monster played by Nicholas Cage is a blunted force. We're told repeatedly of how unrelenting and merciless Ghost Rider is - but we never really see it. Sure, he kills bad guys - but anyone can do that. He's actually not all that merciless about it. More lines should have been crossed, and they never really are. I'll put it this way - I doubt even Santorum would be offended by this film, and Santorum is a fascist Christian asshole. If a movie featuring a flaming skull-headed motorcycle-riding monster created by Satan can't offend a man touting a Christian version of Sharia Law, then it has serious problems. Maybe if Meatloaf had been in it.
