Review of The Purge: Election Year (2016) by Metalsand — 12 Jul 2016

I've seen bad movies before. I've seen movies so bad, they were funny. This is not one of those. The character's are 1-dimensional cookie cutters worse than b-movie characters, with terrible actors to boot. The dialogue is worse than what I'd expect from prehistoric cave drawings, and the cinematography is non-existent, presumably because they paid some hobo off the street to do it. There's no story either, so if all you want to see is a bunch of random people bleed, you'd be better off playing a video game. At least the effects would be good.

I'm neither a pessimist or a realist. I'm not one to exaggerate, and I don't use words like "best" or "worst" lightly. However, this is the worst, if not second worst movie I have ever laid eyes upon. I didn't even finish it, because at some point I could not possibly cringe any harder. I reached my limit of cringing. It became impossible for me to cringe any harder at it, and I felt my time would be better spent watering my lawn or doing the dishes rather than wasting anymore time with this garbage.

If you don't like these types of movies, you'd be better off lighting your money on fire than spending it on this.

If you do like these types of movies, pull up your DVD collection because you'd be better off rewatching an older movie than watching this worthless production.
