I'm not even going to waste time writing a lengthy review on why this movie sucked.
but here's a couple short points...
1) from the perspective of it using the Exorcist name, it's a sad, horrible attempt at trying to make a buck off of a classic. It resembles the original in no way (regardless of situation, it has none of the psychological turmoil and tension of the original). it makes little to no attempt at actually giving a real back story to the original, and kind of stumbles through the facts to relate it to the orginal at all.
2) from the perspective of it being a movie on it's own.. it still sucks. all the horror elements are just lame shock tactics. it uses CGI for the sake of CGI. the action scenes appear to be in there merely to be as cool as every other movie comming out these days. stumble stumble, lame lame lame. cookie fucking cutter.
I theater hopped into this movie, an dI'm glad I did... I almost left half way through =P
