Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
SuccessAkpojotor I didn't like this movie. i can't forgive its many technical goofs and laziness - capitalizing on the 2016 election, and stealing the mantra of Donald J. Trump . Sorry.
Fuego Johnson This is definitely a mediocre film at best, but despite the mostly poor acting and cliche script, I felt the need to actually watch the entire thing. Despite the aforementioned issues, this movie does have some redeeming qualities worth enduring through.The first big issue with "The Purge: Election Year" is the writing. The script is filled with cliches, some which were borrowed from the first film (I guess it is a sequel though, to be fair). While there are a few interesting characters, many of them seem very forced. Some unfortunately follow some pretty stereotypical archetypes (the store owner and clerk come to mind here) which end up hindering the overall experience. Beyond character development, the plot often feels pretty ludicrous. The concept of the film is very interesting in my opinion, but the scenarios presented seem contrived. Watch for yourself and see if you agree with me or not. The acting in this movie is decent overall, but many of the lesser roles were terrible. Some scenes were downright cringe worthy. The central cast does a pretty solid job, though, considering the script. I found myself invested in their story arc, even if some of the lesser actors failed to meet the performance of their peers. The primary redeeming qualities of this film seem to revolve around the concept and imagery. For whatever reason, the idea of a "purge" is a very creative and interesting concept for a film in my opinion, and the imagery that accompanies this fictional world is very interesting as well. Costumes, special effects and music were all done quite well in "The Purge: Election Year", are are a huge reason why this movie doesn't fail completely. Overall, this is a below average film. The concept is unique, but the overall execution leaves much to be desired. There are a few qualities that prevent this film from being downright terrible, but there are many other films I would watch before this one. If you're bored, check it out.
truthdefenderdep The entire movie is based on bs perceived societal beliefs. Why is it OK for the female to kill the teenager with he ak47, but the shop owner(who would be justified any day of the year, let alone purge night, to defend his store from a armed teenager.)And the black guy team members die at the end!? REALLY!!!!! This isn't the 1960's!!!!This movie is total bs simpleminded pablum.
abbaslimbada I found that the movie is a good movie, a lot of people didn't like it as it wasn't scary enough. Personally, too make a good horror movie, you need a creepy tone and it must be entertaining. This movie is very creepy and gory, its scary, and found that it was very fun and enjoyable.One thing though that i would like to know, in the next movie, when it has the video to explain the purge,should tell me what happens if you kill someone 7 minutes after the time runs outGood movie though.
