REVIEW:

To be honest, I'm actually pretty disappointed by this third sequel. It's not as challenging as the previous films. The story is so light not complicated which makes the viewers bored. There were also no things that surprised me. The ending is just so so. 
I think what makes this third sequel different from its previous films is the gore intensity. It was higher than the previous films. You could frequently watch somebody cut people's head, stab people's back, shoot people right in between their eyes, and so many other similar disturbing scenes which I was not happy about. It was just so intense, I consequently closed my eyes during the film, lol. So, let me give you an advice: don't eat anything during the film or might you'll throw up. Ew! Especially soft/mushy food like mashed potato or lasagna. Haha.

The costume is so-so, so is the tensity. In my opinion the first film has the best costume of the three and the tensity is best in the second film. Then, what about for this third film? I guess the gore won :D


-RATING-

Me, personally: 2/5 (Sorry! It was just not as scary as I imagined).

Would it be the 4th sequel?

(Stop reading if you don't want to get spoiled)

Would there be the 4th The Purge?
I don't think so. Because the end of the movie, the Senator won! It was stated that the Senator will take an action about The Purge which she vowed that she'd eliminate The Purge. So, I think there will be no Purge next year or in the future which means there will be no The Purge movie anymore. What do you think?

Regards from the Senator and Barnes!


See ya!
