    I must say that The Purge was quite a let down. It seems that they put all of the intense scenes in the trailers! This movie is just "OK" in my opinion. In the beginning of the movie, they get a good story going. You expect things to be happening constantly, but nothing does! They seem to drag out the movie and then they seem to pack what you would expect to be the whole movie in the last 15 minutes! This movie is probably not really what you would expect! I would give the movie an overall rating a 7/10.

    Movie was alright. Great concept, but poorly executed with a lot of minor annoyances throughout. However, I'm glad a sequel is in the works, because there's so much more to explore in this universe, like for instance following a group of homeless people trying to survive the night or something. Either way it wasn't as bad as I was lead to believe. 6/10

    My biggest problem with this flick was they really had a great premise. Something new, unique and very interesting. But the film went down the typical path with psychos trying to get into a house. For me this movie should have been about everyday people all around. It was decent but a HUGE wasted opportunity.

    Watched it last night as well on a whim, didn't want to commit a lot of time so the 1h20m run time worked. It was decent, all the twists were rather predictable. Glad they are making a sequel, because I do believe the premise has some potential, hopefully they handle it better next time. Some of the best bits were in the beginning where they show the activity from previous purges on the security cam.

    I'd probably give it a 5 or 6/10.


    Spoiler...
    I couldn't wrap my head around their neighbors coming to try to kill them, they were jealous of their house that they got by providing a very valuable service. Although, how valuable that service is questionable I suppose since it only takes a pickup truck to tear the door off . I can understand the jealousy even though it's kind of stupid, but I didn't buy all the neighbors just deciding to be murderous lunatics, purge or no purge.

    I think that is an excellent idea, gives the perfect reason why anyone in their right mind would be outside during the purge and it would also give you a window into all the complete chaos taking place on the streets as they try to survive.

    Agreed, I felt that was a bit of sloppy writing. Jealous because they added a new addition to their home? Jealous because they made money off them? I doubt the guy forced them to buy the security In the end it's just an excuse to have a silly twist and put the leads in danger once again.

    This was a big surprise for me, I wasn't expecting to like it but I did. I thought that maybe a few things could have been explored further,
    Spoiler...
    like I thought that the family might turn against each other, that would have been more interesting than random people turning up

    .

    Looking forward to watching the sequel now.

    Just like with The Hunger Games, the premise is so unbelievably, ridiculously nonsensical I just couldn't get passed it.

    What's so ridiculous about it? The rich screw over the poor. It's satire.

    And don't compare this to The Hunger Games, that movie is a complete joke. This is more in line with The Running Man or Battle Royale.
