Johnny Blaze was an interesting guy. Funny even. He was a daredevil and he loved his job. He was awkward with women in a cute sort of way. The Spirit of Vengeance completely sucked all of that character out of him and turned him into some useless crybaby. It's like one of the producers said something to the writers like "Look, we all know Nick Cage can't act for shit, so just write up a bunch of stupid car chases and explosions and call it a day, will ya?" And sure enough, the writers ran with that idea which made for a damn nice trailer, but not much of a movie.
Don't get me wrong, there are much worse movies. Really, the only reason this one is pissing me off right now is because all of my movie channels are spamming this goddamn movie like mad. It is okay to watch this Suckfest once, if you're not paying attention and it is just playing in the background. After it has played about 7 times in the background, however... Just kill yourself. My eyes are bleeding just thinking about it.
