IS THE FIRST PURGE CONTAIN MORE VIOLENT ACTION THAN THE OTHERS?

Aussie boy's thoughts
Each the characters, the story, and the now-average action falls short when it comes to the sympathy we possess for the tension. The story of The First Purge is obvious and predictable, but the characters and savagery fails to save how terribly boring, dumb and foreseeable the film is.
The First Purge’s plot sounds thoroughly interesting and you’ll most likely engage into the tale, all before feeling disappointment for the lack of interest you feel. The characters are unlikeable and clearly make dumb choices from beginning to end. Although it honestly gets mildly cheesy, the fourth Purge instalment would also have to be the most violent film of the series so far, despite the action being the most enjoyable ingredient in the film.
But it’s only the violent action that’s enjoyable. The rest of The First Purge is predictably boring and you’ll very likely miss the ability to connect with the characters and story. After this unnecessary continuation, another Purge film is not needed, or even wanted.
