The Purge: Longing For More

Rating: 7/10 (7 June 2013)

I'm glad I went to see this film, but I would not go out of my way to recommend it to others. It had its moments where the entire audience would jump and scream. There were points where the theater would clap and cheer. And to get a crowded theater silent for most of the movie is quite an accomplishment. To say I loved the movie is an exaggeration, but it was a good one. The movie ended not with a feeling of "I want to know what happens next." It was more like "that's it?" I left less satisfied than expected. But then again, that happens to me when I go into a movie with high expectations. The action scenes were quality, the effects were great, and I loved the plot. There were some twists I didn't expect, as well as some I wish would have happened. So the big question is: "Is it worth your money to see it in theaters?" Yes! A television will not give this movie justice. On t.v., I probably would have rated the film a 5 or 6. But you be the judge. Let me know what you think!
