Title: Sadly another Hollywood formula flick
Review: As a fan of the series, I must say I'm very disappointed in this movie. It's overblown, overproduced and like Catwoman, I found the special effects fell short. The computer animated hyenas were very fake looking and thus spoiled much of the movie for me. The hero in this movie is the same old Hollywood tough guy you see in every movie... I found myself rolling my eyes.Upside down crosses and crucifixions were a nice touch and a welcome addition to the Exorcist franchise's satanic repertoire. However, the inverted cross thing becomes very repetitive and gimmicky shortly into the movie. The first two thirds of the movie is boring and more concerned with cinematography than good storytelling.I think this is Hollywood'd response to The Passion. They realize that there's a big market for movies that deal with religious subject matter. Like most Hollywood movies, it's OK for some mindless entertainment or for making out with a date... but it's a real stinker.
