I cannot fucking believe that you said that. How old are you? Let me guess, 15?
It's a pity that all teens cant be as knowledgable about movies as Sam.
If you are not a teen, then you are even more pathetic for saying that. You should know better.

How is the EXORCIST series overrated? We're not voting on individual movies, ya know. Exorcist 2 is on a lot of Worst Movie Ever lists (rightfully so), and Exorcist 3 is widely regarded as mediocre.

What gets me is that he felt that the original was the worst!!!

maybe he saw that "Director's Cut" POS they released a while ago. That wasn't that good. The stuff they added fucked up the pacing, which was one of the main things, IMO, that made the movie good.

I agree about the director's cut. It was an overkill.
Yet, it was still better than what he gives it credit for.

On a supplementary note: I enjoy watching Exorcist 2 for the cheese factor. It's funny as hell. Lousy horror movie, but great unintentional comedy.

ver seen it. i only seen 1 and 3. but i thought 3 wasnt that bad once someone explained how father damian was there

Ok, but think about this: You've heard a movie is not only one of the best horror movies ever, but one of the best movies ever (depending on whether or not you listen to critics). So you finally get a chance to see it, in theaters no less, and you're ready to see a great movie. And what you get is...mediocre to good. The amount of a letdown that is would make a great movie seem bad.
