Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance takes everything from the series' first movie, throws it out the window, then mimes pissing on it with fire. And that's why we love it. Though even this movie (which is half an hour shorter than the original) tends to drag at times, it has clear goals, frenetic action, and a style that perfect meshes with the world of Ghost Rider, all in a way that only Neveldine and Taylor can offer. Also: can you believe that Idris Elba is in this movie? For real! It makes total sense that someone like Christopher Lambert would show up here, but Stringer Bell?!
