I do have to say, I was dissapointed in exorcist the beginning though. Being a huge fan of the original (its the only movie that truly scared the hell out of me) I guess I had high hopes. Exorcist 2 sucked, and Exorcist 3 was ok.
The story was interesting, but it really demystified the whole series. I don't care how the demon (who those who read the books and seen all the movies was name Pazuzu or some crap like that) came to be released. I guess in this one, too much backstory was a bad thing.
The other thing that dissapointed me is in the first movie, the beginning was slow for the first half hour, but after that, the possession and exorcism took the rest of the movie. In this one, it was totally opposite. It was really only interesting (unless you like vague, gory deaths and archaeological digs). The first one also had shock value(the head turning 180 degrees, the pea soup), where this one really didn't have it.
I guess my expectations were way too high for it.
anyway, sorry about the mini review hehe
