its extremely average, there are no stakes at all, its very short and goes by extremely quickly. Its not scary either. I dont understand why it was made in the first place. 10/10
It's fun. I was raised catholic but I haven't practiced nor believed in like 20 years now, but this movies made me feel like we've been missing out for a long time on movies like this where the head of the forces of good sends a warrior to combat forces of evil, In this case, it takes the form of the Vatican and the protagonist, but it's played straight, without veiled mockery or insidiousness, which I found refreshing.
I wouldn't call it horror per se, since I feel some scenes were more funny than scary, but I might be biased because scary movies do nothing for me anymore since the Ash vs. Evil Dead series ruined them all for me... now I just laugh. With that said, there was a scene (won't spoil) that made me feel dread, which was also refreshing.
I'd watch on the big screen if it was still playing in my city, but if you don't think it's worth the price or you don't want to support the movie, then just pirate, which is what I did.
i watched it a couple nights ago and it was very enjoyable. theres a few twists and turns that keep it interesting and the CGI is really good. horror movies are usually absolutely dogshit so it was nice to actually be entertained throughout and not get bored once. i think they shouldve made it a little scarier though
i know its gay to think like this but even as an athiest its cool to see media that treats serious institutions seriously. obviously its a horror movie about demons but its nice to see an unambiguous heroic catholic church
Wait, is he The Pope's Exorcist, like he works for the Pope and wanders the countryside exercising people on the Pope's behalf, or does he spiritually excavate demoms from the Pope himself?
The former. He's the "Pope's Exorcist" because he's the Head Exorcist of the Vatican (and therefore the entirety of the Catholic Church), which means he answers -only- to the Pope.

You will burn in hell.
Closed it after 30 minutes. It's shit.
It’s The Ninth Gate meets Exorcist III
WTF that sounds incredibly kino.
I have no idea who the audience for this bland shit is.
You will burn in hell.
In Europe we watched it a lot.
Based people who like fun horror movies and Russell Crowe.
yeah is good
You will go to heaven.
It’s interesting how I know this movie is not made for me by the cover/poster alone.
You will burn in hell.
I enjoyed it
its great. great horror film of the year. I don't know what these homosexuals are b***hing about.
just read the book
Is the book good?

Why does the Pope need an exorcist?
The Pope can only be in 3 places at the same time, duh
I love the thought of all of this. I hope the movie portrays it exactly like this.
To focus on paperwork and superprayers only the Pope can do.
best film of the year fr fr
especially when he pointed the cross and yelled I'm Poping the Exorcist"
It's pretty good, one of the better horror movies of the year. Not that the last part is saying much kek

It's a funny ass movie. I don't get why the demon had a personality after possessing Gabriel. Then there's the pope waking up from his stroke coma.
Missed the opportunity to become a Catholic XCOM with the false sequel bait.
it's kino
Apparently it's hilarious. I regret not going to see it
It really plays up the absurdness of the exorcism genre and Crowe drops some funny lines. Got some laughs out of me.
The ending is like a mix of the Exorcist with a Fast & Furious movie. Complete over-the-top kino. I hope they push the formula further in the sequel
early posters got it right, if you don't go in expecting much you might be pleasantly surprised

Books status?
The books are good.
[x] Good.
>Is it actually a good movie
it's terrible. Capeshit for christcucks, but somehow even worse than that sounds.
Most forced meme since Mortdecai
All I could think of watching this movie was "that is LITERALLY me". I couldn't stop drawing parallels between myself and the Pope's Exorcist.
i wasnt the popes exorcist i was his assistant, hes literally me
