I'm going to be as blunt and as frank as i can be about this film, the first hour seems like it was written by someone other than David Gordon Green. It starts off as a fairly generic and above average possession film and then as soon as they introduce Ellen Burstyn it becomes a steaming pile of crap. I'm glad Burstyn asked for the ridiculous amount of money she did, good for her. She is really phoning it in here and she is used for about ten minutes of screen time that makes little to no difference to the plot whatsoever.
It is pathetic that they even wrote her character into the film. This film is a joke.
David Gordon Green is honestly an idiot. You can tell he thinks he is making a really important film about hope but that's not what this is, its a soulless lifeless cash grab that flat out disrespects Friedkin's masterpiece. He actually had the audacity to write that Chris Mcneil thought the men who gave their lives to save her daughter wouldn't let her in the room to watch the Exorcism in the original because she wasn't part of the patriarchy. What a load of absolute horse shit.
Green's writing is laughably poor and amateurish. The original Exorcist is a very simple story expertly told and brilliantly written, you get the feeling that David Gordon Green thinks he can improve upon it by adding in a bunch of hokey woke nonsense about how all religions matter and he is so heavy handed this concept is literally said out loud. What a farce. People need to tell him that he clearly doesn't have the writing ability or knowledge to write about social issues.
It's so bad i fell asleep during the "Exorcism" if you could call it that, what it really is is a bunch of people from all faiths singing kumbaya while the two possessed girls do their best mercedes mcambridge impression.
David Gordon Green has watched the original Exorcist but he's too thick to grasp why it works. His new Exorcist trilogy can fuck off and die in a fire. In the words of Linda Blair in the original film, his mother sucks cocks in hell, the faithless slime.
