Went to see Exorcist 4 last night - yay for James D'Arcy in a sexilicious priest's robe.
And... yeah. That's the only good thing I can think to say about this film: it has James D'Arcy dressed as a Catholic priest. If that doesn't make you quiver with Fangirlish glee, then you have no pulse don't bother seeing it.
Stellan Skarsgård is trying way too hard to be Russel Crowe, except, unfortunatly, from the part where Russel Crowe can actually act. His character, Father Merrin, has the survival instinct of a retarded sheep. Hyena!Xander could totally have beaten up those rubbish hyenas. [Possessed person] was an exact rendition of Linda Blair in the original, which I admit might have been scary 30 years ago, but is now equal parts hilarious and cringe-inducing.
Even James D'Arcy doesn't get off scott-free, as he has the most appalling fake-American accent, which comes and goes at random intervals and hurts me in my bones.
But he has La Crossbling du Sexy, so I forgive him.
