Each week on Wednesday afternoons, we’ll post two reviews of films being released this week (or films that have been recently released). Written by Roger Moore of the Orlando Sentinel, these reviews will focus on how family-friendly each film is, and which ages it might be appropriate for.
“Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance”
Rating: PG-13 for intense sequences of action and violence, some disturbing images, and language
What it’s about: The “Rider” returns to protect a child that Satan and his minions want to get their hands on.
The kid attractor factor: Based on the comic book, full of action and effects and Nicolas Cage in “Nutty Nic” mode.
Good lessons / bad lessons: If you’ve made a deal with the Devil, you need to “work on your decision making.”
Violence: Yes, and some of it directed against a child. Most of it is of the supernatural variety, though.
Language: Limited profanity.
Sex: None.
Drugs: Wine is consumed and enjoyed.
Parents’ advisory: A little rougher than your average kid-oriented comic book adaptation, but OK for 12-and-up.
