10 Worst Comic Book Movie Climaxes

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance may be the trashy drive-in version of a superhero movie with far less of a budget and scope than its big brothers, but that doesn't mean it can't pull off some good action with what it has. Sadly, even with the maniacs behind the Crank movies at the helm, this reboot/sequel failed to do even that and it shows immensely in its final moments.

The first mistake: setting the entire sequence during the daytime. Ghost Rider is a creature of the night, and he loses a lot of his cool when he's riding around in broad daylight. Second, the bulk of the climax is a generic car chase that is only really set apart by having a lot more things on fire.

He has a brief scuffle with henchman Blackout on top of a car, but it's incredibly banal and even finishes with a bad 80s movie one-liner from the Rider after he gets chucked off the car: "Road kill".

And then there's the final confrontation with The Devil himself, if you can even call him that. All that happens is Ghost Rider causes his car to crash, he pulls him out of the wreckage, and then he literally whips him back to Hell with his chain. That's it. It's hard to expect something visually spectacular from this kind of movie, but it can't even be bothered to use the few cards that it has.
