The Trailer of The Rite
I love Anthony Hopkins. I thought he is one of the brilliant actors out there. He really scared the hell out me in The Hannibal. When the trailer of The Rite came out I was more than thrilled to watch the movie simply because Anthony Hopkins was acting in it. I could not wait for the show.
Finally two days ago I had the chance to watch it with my dearest husband. I was out with huge expectation and put a lot of hope in the movie. But, sadly I must say I was a bit disappointed. Not that Anthony Hopkins who was playing Father Lucas was lacking in his acting, in fact I liked him a little bit here and there but I found myself excruciatingly pained by the actor who acted as Mr.Micheal Kovak.
This was the reason why I took a lot of time to muster my courage and write a little bit of my own opinion + review of that movie. Other than the fact that it was a little bit too long or dragging, the actor who played Micheal Kovak could not act as a “believer”. It seemed to me although how much he tried to act as if right then he turned into a believer and not an atheist anymore, it didn’t convince me and you know that was the MOST IMPORTANT thing in the story.
If at the end of the movie you were left gaping not sure what was it all about, the movie failed you. Luckily it was based on true events and the real Micheal Kovak is now a real exorcist.
There were also a few flaws here and there and honestly I really did not enjoy it that much. For once I was hoping I could get back my time spent inside the cinema. It could have been better to wait for the movie available in the net and just downloaded it from there because you know I really don’t think it deserved my time in the cinema. The content was good but the narration and the plot could have been better. No offense to those who loved it.
However, looking at it in a brighter light, I wanted to quote Father Lucas. He said “Choosing not to believe in the devil won't protect you from him”. So then, the real lesson here was; devil exists whether or not you believed in it.
