I just saw it recently. It was interesting. I liked where they were going with it sci-fi-wise, but I didn't think it went far enough with character/social/political issues. Partially because I didn't think the action, suspense and horror were done all that well.

Now that the interesting premise is already known, I'd doubt there's anything left worthwhile for sequels. You'd have to advance the premise to a wider sci-fi political thriller. i mean a great horror director could redo that whole home-invasion bit, but that seems awfully repetitious.

I did like The Purge, but not a lot.

Like you, I liked the idea behind story, but not the story itself, which turned out to be a simple home invasion movie. The second movie went outside the house and that was all fine and dandy, but other than that there really wasn't anything new to it. Then this third movie comes out. Outside again and everything is pretty much the same as the last one. I can't really see this getting more sequels. There just isn't enough meat in the concept.

I think it's a good concept but they need to do it right.
It should be over the top madness and mayhem with blood, gore and nudity.
24 hour purging instead of 12 so we get some daylight action. Less purging rules, more insanity. Perhaps some other location than a big city. Someplace nice and sunny in contrast to the brutal violence.
I think Rob Zombie would be perfect for the job.
The story: bad guys have to get home during Purge day madness while being chased by a psycho cop (or cops) out for vengeance.

It will end up becoming Escape From New York.

Allegiant 2016

3rd movie in the series. Really nothing memorable or worth paying to watch. But if you're ok d/l it somewhere its a decent film for vegging out to. All of the films are, I think. I can't remember much about them.

Yes Baron life mirrors art.

Ghostbusters (2016)

Pretty fun comedy with awesome cast, special effects and good action at the end. It's not as good as Paul Feig's other movies since the jokes are more hit-and-miss. Maybe he should stick with R-rated stuff. It won't replace the original, but it was great seeing these funny actresses work together.

7/10

You mean like videogames having a bad influence on people?
Imo the shootings are a consequence of many things but not of art in any form.

I don't think The Purge really had black lives matter or cops or shootings or anything like that on its political agenda.
