You can tell this is the same guy that directed Crank: the difference is that movie didn't need any substance because the premise was so fun. It's just a bunch of things happening on screen oozing with CGI to make up for the complete lack of substance. It throws you right into the action with no exposition. No part of this movie is fleshed out and none of it is interesting. The first Ghost Rider was campy and stupid, but it was a watchable popcorn action movie and it had Eva Mendes (hence, watchable). Is Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance one of them? Hell no. The guy has some hidden gems in his career. I'll watch anything the guy does no matter how terrible the reviews are, and sometimes I'll be pleasantly surprised, as was the case with 'Seeking Justice', 'Drive Angry', and 'Kiss of Death'.
