I was really stoked when I first heard they were going to do another Ghost Rider film. The first one had it's flaws, but was a fun film to watch. After the second was announced to have an R rating I was even more stoked. This character could use the R rating. They could have shown some of the darker sides of the Rider. Then, suddenly... POW! PG-13!?!?!? What the fuck?
Even with the dumbed down rating, the film is still watchable. There are a few parts that you can tell that they had to make some cuts to get it down to their new rating. The effects were much better than the first. I do miss the old bike with the skull on the front, but I like the new Ghost Rider model MUCH better. As far as plot goes, it's good, but could have used a few less jokes just for the sake of jokes. The fight scenes with the Rider are really good, though in the first chunk of the flick everything is filmed with the god-damn "shaky-cam". Fuck I hate that shit. The rest of the film is much more stable. It was mildly left open for another, but I doubt they will do another. Overall I would give it a C+, maybe a B-. Worth watching if you are really into comics and comic book movies, but if not you can skip it without missing anything.
