The First Purge [Includes Digital Copy] [Blu-ray/DVD] [2018]

I have always been a fan of the purge movies my wife and I have seen everyone of them in the theater. This particular entry in the series we did not make it to the theater to see and I’m glad we didn’t, While I has a very promising start the film quickly become boring and very predictable and not a worthy the entry into the purge series of films, do yourself a favor and start watching the purge limited series on USA that is much better than this entry. Marissa Tomei is completely wasted in her role of how this annual holiday starts. You really don’t care what happens to any of these characters.

I love The Purge franchise and besides so many comments about people saying "this is a bad movie, it's racist, it's not as good as the other ones, etc" I think it's great as the rest of them, people have to see it from the perspective of the minority. Where was all of this outrage when the first purge movie came out and it showed rich white people? People are clearly triggered by this one and anything that makes some people uncomfortable must be close to the truth. Consider that this racial theme is in all The Purge movies and if you're a Purge fan, you know it better.

The 1st Purge actually invoked fear. This one was really more like an action thriller (Even casting the drug lord hero to look like the Black Panther actor with comic book hero moves). I can see how the 2 connect but I just feel like the 1st one set the bar and the next 2 went more towards political corruption which is, I am sure, what the author was trying to do right from the beginning, but if the 1st one would have been more like the 2nd 2 in the trilogy I would have never continued just because I was pulled in by the scary "Strangers" type.

I have not seen a purge film prior to this but I have been interested in watching them. With this being the lead up to how the series came about I was certainly interested in seeing this. It does a good job with some over the top moments and the usual need to suspend your belief but I think this was a good film. I enjoyed it and think you will to if you want something that can be a good film and not a masterpiece.

As a fan of the purge i have t say this is by far the worst Purge film to date. The fourth and last installment, tells the tale of how the Purge came about and the secret mission the government went on to ensure that the purge would be put into place. While not terribly bad, this movie does not compare the the other purge movies. Kind of a disappointment.

I think this was about the worst flick in this series. Certainly some liberal Hollywood idea of how the purge would start (needed some prodding because the "good" folks on the island weren't naturally inclined to "act" on their own). Other than that some cool tech/looks in a few of the scenes... but I don't think it added real value or progressed the series.

I am a big fan of the Purge movie series. But this one was very weak compared to the previous 3. It was a good idea to try to tell the story of how the Purge was started, but it was a very weak script. Over all it was entertaining on it's own, but when you link it to the other Purge films, it really falls short. If you can get this on sale in the $12 range, then grab it. Otherwise... wait.

This film fell short of the other Purge films. I didn't like the plot which changed from the first ones. It pitted one group against another. The other Purge films had a get even with your neighbor for doing something wrong. This showed a clear split and pitted one class against another. We don't need this group against group kind of plot in todays society. It promoted hate.
