Can we all agree that it was Charlie's actions that killed his father. Why would you give your kid the passcode to disarm your security system?
One thing you have to realize is the guys family have been completely spoiled and have no idea how to handle the reality of the purge which is why they make such idiotic decisions. I don't think the movie is as bad as people say and it paved the way for a really cool and interesting movie concept which has only improved with the sequels.
I gotta agree.
also just bc a movie makes u mad or something doesn’t mean it’s bad. the point of a movie is to make you feel emotions and experience. like for instance, there are certain characters you’re not suppose to like
@@kaivonnix1100 Lmao, that is an absolutely AWFUL argument lol like what? You could justify any trash piece of shit film by saying "WeLl At LeAsT yOu FeLt SoMeThInG" lol what the actual fuck
You should react to Sinister. That was so good with a fuckton of tension
They hated this one because they didn't do what the sequels did, show the chaos in the city whereas this was just a home invasion and the purge was used as a reason they can't call the cops for help
The sequels show how everyone who isn’t rich has to survive and they go chaotic so much faster
I agree with you on "Sinster"
What was your favorite "film" that Ethan Hawke watches in the movie?
Yeah I agree!! The home invasion was so boring. The others are exciting & my favorite is the First purge when it all started
The Purge 2’s main character is literally the best character in the entire series. He was going CRAZY & his backstory was good asf
They should have spent more time on him and less time on everyone else XD
I recommend you watch the other Purge films cause they show more of the outside perspective in the events. My favorite is The First Purge on how it started. You’ll really enjoy it
I like the tv show too
Same. I love all of the other Purge movies
He's at least seen the second one because that was the one with the truck and Gatling gun he mentioned.
Idk why everyone got mad that this turned into a home invasion movie. It's still better than the other ones that are trash. This felt more real
What this movie taught me - never tell passwords to your kids.
The second and third are probably the best at the subtle political commentary while balancing a great story. Also the show is decent too.
I love the TV show
Subtle lmao
@@marklouis1890 where can I watch the show?? What platform is it on?
Subtle?
The second one is one of those movies I watch once a year.
That, Starship Troopers, Pandorum and the entire Saw franchy are for some reason something I can always find time for
I remember my best friend and I saw this in theaters and after we left it was super dark out and we felt like the purge was about to happen. We started laughing. It was great 👍
I highly recommend “30 days of night”
I've always wanted to check that one out!
A favorite of mine as well. Vampires done right!
Omg that movie is good and scary 😳
yessssd
That’s honestly nuts cause I forgot this took place in 2022
Same!! I’m like we all know this won’t be passed in reality.
I was a purger for Halloween this year. My mask said RUN and I had a fake baseball bat. Lots of people liked my costume. 😁
Cameras. They have cameras evvvvvvvvverrrrrrrywhere!!!! And by the time that last tone of the siren goes off anything that happens is a crime and punishable with death! They show this in the Purge tv series
Your commentary on this video made me crack up!!! 🤣🤣I totally agree with ur reaction cuz I felt the same way first time watching it lol
Love ur honesty makes it funny 😆
That f-ing ICarly reference 🤣🤣🤣
react slowly to the whole saga
Depends on the video's reception!
I think you might be my favorite reactor. You make the most sense.
Been waiting for you to watch the purge!!! Hopefully you end up reacting to the complete series! Love your vids man, keep up the good work
I highly recommend you do all 5 purges. The purge 2. That was one of the best ones! I am sure yall will agree. 3 was pretty good. 4 was decent good.
I’ve seen all 5 & it just goes down hill after the first one.
@@shocksix You are entitled to your own opinion but box office said differently and movie ratings. 2 and 3 was good. If anything 4 and 5 was the 2 that went downhill. But I still enjoyed 4. 5 was trash
Yeah none of them were really great at all
@@dylangintherofficial that's your opinion.
I just ordered me some food but I can’t wait that long to watch the video!
I really like these movies. You aren’t wrong in saying we aren’t far off from this…
The icarly reference 😂😂
Uh man, I disagree! This was a good movie! First of all, this movie is really a question of morality, cause at the beginning of the film, nobody, except the 'Son' had any morals or apathy. If someone needed your help, and they showed up on your porch bloodied and attacked on PURGE night, would you help? That's the moral question posed to the viewer. Now some people might hate this movie, cause for them the answer would be No, and that would be the end of the story. But if you have a conscience, and your answer would be Yes, you enjoyed seeing how the plot plays out from there.
Secondly, are we really ready to believe these psychos are people of their word? The leader of the group just blew his own friend's brains out! I believe they would've killed the family anyway, just for the inconvenience.
And finally, consider this, if they had not rescued the Homeless Vet., would their neighbors, been successful in killing them all? The family would have never seen that coming.
So, I liked the movie! 2 & 3 were even better, but this one was a good one two.
Idk the plot does come full circle with the homeless helping them but the moral dilemma of saving him or not is such a weird way of judging the stupid decisions in this movie. If they all died because the kid let that one person in then his conscience would be tainted so either way there’s no right or wrong in this scenario.
I agree with the moral question in the premise, but it was poorly written characters and execution…
You are willing to die for a random guy but won’t take the tape off his mouth?
He saves all of your lives and you won’t even cut him a check?
You believe in the “good” of the purge, but don’t have arms in home?
14:25 SOILED IT! SOILED IT! SOILED IT! SOILED IT!
Also the purgers that attack the family, the leader is played by Rhys Wakefield and a lot of people think he would make a good Joker because that's kinda how he was acting in this. If you google his name with Joker there's a lot of fan made posters that look pretty good. He delivered some siniter sounding lines during the first interraction, has the creepy smile, even holds the shotgun like the Joker. That group all had masks and you could just swap them out for clown masks. The moment where he pointed his gun behind him at 8:46 and shots the guy is 100% a Joker moment.
The part with the daughters boyfriend “what the fuck is he talking about?” 🤣
I wonder how life insurance policies would work
7:17 that iCarly reference was so accurate 😂
Y’all needa watch,
This Is The End.
We’ve seen it lol. Amazing movie
@@TheMikeLawz the interview ?
@@tommygun4752 Possibly one day
@@TheMikeLawz well you guys do need to watch all the Spider-Man movies before this Friday.
my freaking favourite purge right there
You asked the question of why ppl hate this and than answered ur own question in the same video hahaha
U hit the nail on the head
I struggle with this franchise because the premise is so unbelievable that it's hard to take it seriously
Yes!!! Love your reactions!!! Do the other Purge movies!! 💚
For Christmas I got the five movie collection you should do a reaction of watching all of them
Great reaction!!
Oh Josh i just realized is 2022 in the movie 😂
Love your vids!
Election Year and The First Purge are my faves from the series 😁
The worst part is the idea of the purge is just basically devil's night from the crow. Nothing about the purge is unique and it's just wasted potential of an idea that was stolen from a better movie. If you liked the idea of the purge I'd recommend watching the crow because it's a crazy movie that looks like a rock music video
In all purge movies, this is my most favorite ik some characters' writing were weak but I love the suspense, the thrilling, and the creepiness of it not like the other purge movies were the plot are big scale, tho those were great too.
The idea of this movie scares the F out of me more than any slasher any ghost any other type of movie
Because for real, this might actually happen 😳
Also, just like now, the wealthy are the ones who truly can avoid the worst of this
Are you going to do the rest of the franchise?
Reminder on:))))
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The Anarchy one is my favorite lol
are you gonna react to the rest of squid games?
I recommend The Night House. It sets up its suspense scenes really well
I love this movie
my fav was anarchy
I was expecting such an amazing film from the premise, but as you said, the characters/writing/ plot points just went down lower and lower. Very frustrating. Glad I wasn't alone in feeling this.
And there’s a TV series there’s two seasons and it explains more about the purge
I find these movies to be one of the few where the sequels surpassed the original. I think the concept was fantastic, and the subsequent movies learned from the mistakes of the first and capitalized on the concept without falling prey to bad writing like this one did.
I think the war vet became the leader of the anti purge group in the second purge..
You should watch meet the blacks. It’s such a humorous purge Movie
Hi mike my favorite movie all of the purge is the election year of the purge you should watch it crazy and there candy girls and everything ok bye ❤❤
Seriously! 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
“If you’re gonna save the guy, give him a gun so he can help protect the house!”
Yaaaay movie time! :D
9/10 if there are kids in a movie, they prolly gonna piss me off cuz of shit like this!!!! Pisses me off to this day 😂
please do green room, the decent, ready or not, the witch, the lighthouse, or mother!
You're talking about The Purge Election Year, I believe.
This movie is so hard not to get triggered at. Like yeah its wrong to murder people, but at the same time, YOUR GONNA DIE IF DON'T YOU DEFEND! Like geez this is the night with no peace what did you expect?
YESSSSS!!!! CLASSIC
YESSSSS!!
YEEEEEEEEE
Trust, the story and execution of the second movie should have been the first movie. I pretend this one doesn’t exist in the franchise 😂
You should watch overlord
I watch these movies for the story and masks
I love your reactions! 🤣💖💖✨ Could you please react to Occulus next? That one is one of my favourite horror movies!
I like this movie i love Ethan Hawke s i agree i think since they let him they should of work ed together
I suggest to watch train to Busan it's really good it's not that popular in the US but it's a fantastic movie and THE FLU they're bot Korean movie i hope you can watch them:))
BTW I LOVE UR VIDEOS
I never noticed your accent👌👌
ppl heartless. it’s a movie but the amount of people who are saying they would throw the homeless man out is crazy.
Yo it’s already 2022
The Charlie hate is so bizarre to me. We really hating on a kid for being a decent human being and not a bystander like his idiotic spoiled rich parents and moron boy obsessed sister? Also of course Ethan Hawke's the only logical character - kids aren't logical. They act more on emotion than on intelligence. The wife had no excuse for how stupid she was.
Almost all of the other ones are better in regard of using the premise in a good way
Do the purge tv series
Honestly first purge might be one of the worst ones but I loved the forever purge, not saying the purge movies are bad but this one wasn’t the greatest
personally i love those movies but i guess people expected more action in the first one .. everything happen in a house so..idk
I don't hate this movie. It's just so close to real life it creeps me out beyond belief.
PLS REACT TO THE UNFORGIVABLE IT HAS UR STUD JON BERNTHAL IN IT EHE
Can you please react to the killer child Orphan!! Its so thrilling
The kids definitely brought the movie down. Here's my rewrite tot he whole kid letting the guy asking for help in trope, just off the top of my head, the daughter was out late because of the goofball boyfriend. She's trying to rush home, purge is about to start and she's rushing home but doesn't make it in time, gets targeted by purgers, you have a scene where they catch and torture her so we hate the purgers more, she escapes somehow and makes it home but the purgers are following her. Then have a moment where Ethan Hawk is trying to negotiate with the purgers. It fails so he has to go Rambo Last Blood on they asses.
Wtf…
election year us the best, number 2 is pretty lit too
the random stranger is the only character i liked
The second one is much better
Hope you'll give the other Purge movies a chance, since the first movie is the worst one by far
hahahahaha Now you understand why people hate it 😆
the other movies are way better than the first one
It's always the kids that ruin it. This movie is so frustrating.
This movie is a case of AMAZING IDEA but TERIBLE WRITING. I kept watching the franchise because I was hoping they would finally do the idea some justice but it never happened. I stopped believing after the 3rd movie and also never watched again. The TV show, however, is surprisingly good on showing the consequences of the purge and the web of lies.
Forever purge is where it all comes crashing down and it crashed down real hard.
Thank God for Ethan Hawk
Watch the other purge movies, they get much better. This one was the weakest one by far but you’d definitely like the other ones
I have some news…
yeah this one really sucks, the second movie with frank gillo (crossbones) is by far the best one and probably the only good one
Came from tik tok the part you showed isn’t even on here 🙁
It most certainly is, every tik tok clip is taken from the video
@@TheMikeLawz the part where the two girls are in the store I don’t see it 😢 can you put the 00:00
@@cestlavietellequelavie3337 cuz it’s not from this purge
I reccomend the divergent series is amazing and such a good story behind the films the first orn is the best😍😍
The rest of the Purge Movies are better
PLS WATCH GOOD BOYS
What about Bad Boys
The purge sequels are much better
I love the purge movies but now i remember why i hated this one
who hates this movie? i love it. the rest after this one are ''meh'' for me tho.
Yeah this wasn’t a great first film. I like the actual first first purge to see how it really started
This movie deals with the moral conscience, thats why certain people dont like it. For them it was a easy choice. Kill the guy, or deliver him to the others. Simple as that. They cannot imagine the consequences of this choice. This family didnt want to be apart of purge. Thats why they have this moral question of killing. Plus the action is less and is more about home invasion.
While the rest is pack with guts and gore and deals with social critique. Lets face it, people love more this theme... ether is rich vs poors (mostly the times the rich are villains) or racial problems (where the white and rich are the villains) its more comfortable to them to see this problems (which are necessary to reflect) instead of a simple choice of sending a man to his death. You can even see by the reaction of TheMikeLawz, which he had no problem to deliver a man to his own death.
I personnally like the first one. the rest are popcorn action flicks that the best thing is the hunk Frank Grillo
First is the worst so stay hopeful
The first few seconds already sum up my reaction throughout the whole movie. Bc I thought this movie was pretty boring and the character acted super stupid in actions and dialogs. It just hurt me and I just wanted the movie to end tbh. I haven't seen the sequels yet, maybe they are better?? But I dunno if I wanna find out.
10:43 That would've been lowkey the best solution. XD
