The Pope's Exorcist

"The Pope's Exorcist" features a lively performance by Russell Crowe as an unorthodox priest, providing some entertainment value. However, the film is hindered by its predictable, unoriginal plot and clichéd elements, resembling past exorcism movies. Subpar CGI prevents the demonic creatures from being frightening, leaving the film feeling stale overall.

A true horror of unrelentingly generic tedium.

It's as if they had two seperate plots and decided to merge them into one movie. And failed miserably. As any movie you'll see in the genre, this one too is full of badly done cliches. Why doesn't the fucking demon target someone other than a child for one single time? The movie tries to convey a nice message but it's so poorly done, I almost died from cringe while watching the end. For the cherry on top: exorcism scenes in this movie are the worst I've ever seen. Not worth your time.

Lifeless and dull, even Crowe was below self.

A rather predictable exorcism movie. CGIs are alright, jumpscares - kind of mild. For those, who watched, here's an alternative ending of the main character, who failed to gather all of the collectables: "2nd Vatican hearing. Peer jury offers Gabriele to become the missionary in consecrating unholy sites. He gracefully accepts. A nun cames in and offers him coffee. He responds with "double expresso with two spoons of sugar please" and smiles to the camera. Fade to black.
