Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, fails to impress Talent Management models & staff<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance<\/em> was released at UK cinemas on Friday but it failed to light fires here at talent and modelling agency<\/a> Talent Management. Maybe we should have learned the first time – when the first Ghost Rider<\/em> film was released back in 2007.<\/p>\n

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the concept behind the Ghost Rider<\/em> films we will try to clarify some basic sense of narrative for you. The films are based on a Marvel Comics antihero named ‘Johnny Blaze’ – a talented<\/a> motorbike stuntman who sold his soul to the devil in order to save his father from cancer, only for him to be killed in a motor cycle stunt instead. As a result of this rather rubbish deal Blaze becomes Ghost Rider<\/em> and transforms into a leather-clad, flaming-headed skeleton whenever he is in the presence of evil – whereupon, on the devils behalf, he then returns the aforementioned evil to hell.
\nHe also manages a sideline of protecting the innocent when in danger. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance<\/em> Blaze is back, but this time he joins forces with a monk who wants him to save a boy – who is half pure evil – and his mother, from the devil guy who gave him his unwelcome powers in the first place. Confused? So were we.<\/p>\n

Now despite this complex and, let’s face it, pretty nonsensical plot, we were at least hoping for some good acting and amazing special effects. I mean, how often do you get to see ‘the world’s darkest hero’ teach evil a lesson in 3D while he rides a blazing motorbike with his head on fire? Unfortunately the effects didn’t live up to our expectations here at Talent Management<\/a> and former Academy Award winning actor Nic Cage just doesn’t seem to be up to standard lately either. Though in this case his disappointing performance may in-part be blamed on a bad script, we couldn’t help feeling that maybe Cage wasn’t taking the part seriously:<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s really (been) dealing with the fact that his head goes on fire, for years now,\u201d he’s quoted to have said of his character at last summer\u2019s Comic-Con in San Diego. \u201cIn the first movie, he kept it at bay. He was more like an innocent goofball. In this movie, there\u2019s been a little fiery tap dance on his head for several years, so I think it should change his personality a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n

All-in-all models and model booking agents<\/a> from Talent Management who went to see the 12A film over the weekend would say that if you’re over 15 give it a miss. We’d love to know your verdict!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
