Short Review: Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
Grade: B-
The Ghost Rider is back to protect a young boy and his mother from the devil.
The action scenes are great. Slow at times and too much exposition. Would be better rated R. Neveldine and Taylor do great directing, if only they had more creative control. Cage is awesome and has some great "freak out" moments.

Two best friends (and spies) date the same woman and compete for her affection.
Pine and Hardy are very funny. Pretty entertaining. More rom-com-y than I would have liked. Not as much action as the trailer implies.
