I would have given it an 8, but the haters forced my hand. (by hockeychik) |
I really enjoyed this film. My husband and I won free early-screening passes at a 98 rock booth in Sacramento, and I was initially less than thrilled at the prospect of viewing the film. As my husband is a fan of horrors/thrillers, I went along for the ride... just to be kind. And neither of us was disappointed.This movie was politically charged; and quite appropriately so. There are zero reasons the American public would support a political stunt of this nature, and less than zero reasons a psychologist, psychiatrists, therapist, or mental health specialist would encourage a hostile and <more> |
BEST PURGE (by pingchiehgrace) |
DISCLAIMER: Okay, I am not sure why there are so many low critic ratings. This made me feel compelled to write a review for the film, and balance it all out. I have been a fan of the previous purge movies for different reasons than the reason I like this film. Those home invasion flicks were just silly gory horror/thrillers for rainy nights to watch under the pillows and blankets . This film is a total departure from the previous in tonality and social commentary. ALL the plot holes are closed and it finally treats the film with some seriousness to it. This is more of an action film than a <more> |
Hands down the best Purge movie (by emmdoubleyu) |
Please do not even entertain the reviews that ranted on with disgust and rated this movie a 1. This movie was exactly what America needed on the 4th of July. Great acting and great storyline. Everything a prequel should have. This movie is a wake up call and one of the best movies I've seen in awhile! |
Who is ready to Purge? (by vasilios87) |
I know I'd be looking to purge all the people who review these movies and give movies like this a bad review. This is a horror film. If you don't like horror, then you shouldn't be watching this movie. This movie is on par with its two predecessors and only lags behind the original. By comparison to other horror films that get released on a daily basis, this is top notch, don't let the bad reviews scare you away. If you liked the other Purge movies, then you'll enjoy this one. |
MAGA (by MistrTxxas) |
First off, this movie has everything that a 'prequel' should have. If you have watched any of the three other Purge movies, then you are very much aware of its concepts. This movie further explains the origins of the Purge and how and why this historic night was established. The First Purge delivers frightful scenes, relatable characters, some laughable moments, and most importantly outstanding performances by its actors. The First Purge is not meant to be a typical Horror ghost or alien movie, rather it stands in its own category. With that being said, this movie does Not fail to <more> |
Epic Prequel! (by vengeance20) |
Been a fan of this franchise since the first film back in 2013 & have been hooked since! The First Purge is the 4th installment in the franchise but is a prequel to the trilogy of the first 3 purge films before it. It focuses on the origins of the purge as well as the first Purge & why & how the American tradition began!I was looking forward to this one quite a bit, given the mixed feelings I had about the last installment. Which was good but not as good as Anarchy, but then Anarchy wasn't as good as the first Purge so I guess from the 2013 hit to Election Year, that's <more> |
Don't understand all the hate in the reviews. (by audioceo) |
I just seen this movie today and it was pretty good. I thought it was better than the other Purge movies. I would have given the movie a 6 star rating but I bumped it up a little because of the unwanted hate and 1 star reviews it's getting. If you're into these kind of movies, give it a chance. Definately not boring and had my attention the whole time. The guy who played Demitri is a great actor, I can see him being featured in more upcoming films. |
Here the action is better than the horror n that skeletor character is downright insane n creepy. (by Fella_shibby) |
As a fan of the franchise I enjoyed this film. Well, it is better than Purge anarchy n purge election day but was lacking in tension and suspense which was present in the first two parts. A horror thriller without good music is empty n music is lacking in this installment. Nevertheless, a good one time watch for fans of the franchise. |
Best Purge Yet (by trashley22) |
Had a great convo over dinner with friends about ranking Purge movies in order of best to worst, and after seeing this tonight in a sold out theater 6 of us agree this is the best one yet, however the 2nd Purge is a very close second. Read rotten tomatoes reviews by "critics" after the movie and sometimes I think they don't get it - this isn't an Oscar contender, don't judge it like that, but give it props where they are due, it did spend time developing characters, the story line was engaging, and the action was on point with enough cringe worthy moments to get that <more> |
