One of my admittedly guilty pleasures is enjoying bad movies solely because they feature flaming skeletons. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance is one such movie. Was there a good plot? No! Decent character development? Absolutely not! Horrible theology and cheesy dialogue? Heck yes! So, what was redeeming about this? It has a flaming skeleton riding a motorcycle.

This one was notably worse, though there were some nice colors and scenery. Random trivia: this is "kind of" a reboot of the franchise, though it featured the same actor (Nicolas Cage) as the first movie. Everyone else was different, to include filming style- this time around, it was a bit choppy. This film was also darker and grittier.
It'd fail over all, but the flaming skeleton gives this a:
