I just saw the movie and read the book battle royale and i must say "Holy Shit". Battle Royale is a japanese book and movie that is smiler to Lord of the Flies (except in modern day). A group of Kids are stranded on an Island and forced to kill each other to be the only survivor.

If you guys ever get a change watch or read it.
Wont be dissapointed.

Yes, they would be disappointed. It's an insult to compare it to lord of the flies either in book form or movie (the old classic).

Crappy popular nonsensical shit. Poor actors, extremely poor story - didn't make sense in any way.

Though it's just my personal opinion of course.. :/
I wouldn´t call him stupid, but let´s just say he´s unlucky when thinking...

I think it could be better done as a movie. Acting wasn't good and... yeah... a remake could make it a very good movie.

The biggest problem with the movie is that it has no base what so ever! In no future would that ever happen. Who the fuck would tolerate that your children are deported and slaughtered for petty crime and shitty attitude?

Who the hell would also condone it as a game? Too farfetched, so the only thing that can make a movie like this good is good fx and good acting or sideplots, but all this sucked too.

its a "what if" movie. think war of the worlds or pretty much any genre other than drama and this applies. its even an allegory much like animal farm. things in japan between adults and children are to an extent like that in japan, so you take that idea and put it in a what if situation of do or die. stories do this all the time. to make a point or to make it dramatic. in this case, it was melodramatic. it's just up to you how you respond to it. but where it failed for you, for many others it has worked.
personally, im sick of movies that are like standard dramatic plays. such as beautiful mind and mllion dollar baby(although theyre okay) character growsinch by inch and change, yes, but everything is nauseatingly explained, all cause and effect, too grounded in reality. i believe the characters all have believable backgrounds and behaviors. we all know people like that in real life, the nerd, the jock etc. it just goes in a highly imaginative doomsday setting. i like the imagination this film has.

I suppose you could see Battle Royale as a warning to the kind of society that wallows in superficial morality and at the same time exploits people for entertainment. The reason I like it is mostly the plain weirdness of it. The scene where that guy shows his fucked up painting (I believe it was actually painted by the actor, 'Beat' Takeshi) is extremely sick and grand at the same time.

well the movie itself was based upon novel ideas which made it interesting albeit not too good of a movie in general. but the sequel was just bad =[

Lord of the Flies is a classic an no book can be compared to it, LotF is a book which dwells into the depths of human nature in which we all have in commom, barbarity and superstition and LotF shows how both can be controllable mentalities.

Great film, went to cinema with no idea what the film was about
hadn't heard anyone talk about it (years ago now..) and it blew me away!

Battle Royale 2 is one of the worst films I've ever seen.. avoid!

the only reason it was good is because it was foreign. Still doesnt compare to LOTF unless you go solely in movie form in which case its close, but the LOTF book still rapes both.
