Just like Jennifer's Body before it, this film will have to outlive the Megan Fox haters.

I thought the acting was great all around. Not a perfect film by any means but most of those complaints are with the script and director.

Madeline Zima, formerly of Heroes and Californication, was the star performance as the wife. Her acting in the 2nd half of the film was great. Her facial expressions told you exactly what she was thinking without saying a word.

Megan Fox, played her part perfectly. The casting of her was perfect for the film. This was definitely right in her wheelhouse. Gorgeous and unsettling.

I really think this will be held in higher regard as the years go by.

I enjoyed the film a good bit. The slow burn set up was well done. The casting was fantastic for the majority of the characters. Special effects and cinematography was outstanding.

Now let's talk about the bad parts.

Plot threads were abandoned or forgotten about completely. Especially the beginning scenes with the mother and her voodoo blessing.

It felt like they needed more emphasis on the different religions and beliefs that were brought together for the exorcism. The pieces were there, however they needed to flesh that out more.

The exorcism wasn't terrible, however they rushed the ending and didn't do enough to show the families and fallout after the "twist" ending.

I gave it a 7. It's the 4th movie in the franchise and could have been better, could have been worse. The legacy characters making cameos was well done.

As long as you go into this knowing it's not your normal Batman and DC show, the better off you will be. This is an Elseworld's story, alternate universe etc. They took a mish mash of secondary Batman characters and adapted them for this team. The secrets run deep between the characters.

The young cast has some room to grow but I think they are headed in the right direction. The story is off to a great start and the budget is obviously pretty small compared to other super hero shows which will work in its favor for renewals.

Expect some typical teen angst from this CW show, but so far they haven't gone overboard on it. I really think that this would have had a much better reception if it debuted before Titans. The dark and gritty character and story interpretations from Titans makes this seem like kid friendly version.
