REVIEW FOR BATTLE ROYALE # 2
I just bought and watched Battle Royale II from a Megacon show. I have never seen part 1, but I'm pretty intelligent, so I can figure out what it is about.
As I get the gist of what happened in the 1st movie in the start of this one, this was interesting to watch. However, I am an American, and therefore, like fast-paced movies and books.
And though this movie is rather fast-paced and action packed, it was overdramatically acted by a couple of its actors, making this comical to watch.
The ACTION SEQUENCES SEEM THE SAME. That's another bad thing about this movie. They all seemed choreographed pretty much the same. Needed more different type of weaponry, and an occasional hand-to-hand - which there is none of!
But I liked this movie, just not as much as I wanted to.
It had great potential with its decent cast and overall very good look to it, along with the cool setting.
It dragged at times, when these newer kids go a-hunting for the surviving kids of the 1st Battle Royale. Cool idea, not so cool execution. But still better than a lot of Asian movies I've seen.

The BEST movie EVER
this movie i have, it is literally the best movie to come from Japan. it is just about a distant future of Japan with the unemployment rate at 15% and students refusing school. in this the parents are afraid of their own children and to remain control, the government creates the Millenium Education Reform Act V, also called Battle Royale this movie has some really realistic death sequences and an exteremely interesting plot, no other movie cancome close to its magnificence. But like everything else in this world, it is aimed at a certain audience, the people who like this movie also like movies like Kill Bill, and other extremely graphic martial arts style movies. so in short, if you like movies with alot of action and plot you'll certainly love this movie like i do, the sequel is almost out on dvd as well but only for region 3 dvd players.

Great Movie, but Wilmington, NC is soo wrong...
I must clarify what this movie is about, Wilmington, NC's review is completely misleading.

A shocking tale set in Japan. The government has labeled the next generation (students) the reason to degredation in society. They have greated a BR (Battle Royale) program that places one school class on a deserted island.

Class 3B was chosen (9th graders, highschoolers). Awaking on the island they find metal colars on their necks and their teacher explains that they have been chosen for this year's Battle Royale...

The Rules: They are given weapons and are forced to kill each other. Only the last one surviving will be able to go home.
Why comply to these rules? If there isnt a winner in 3 days, the colars on the students necks will explode, and no one goes home.

Some students form alliances, others will allow nothing to keep them from the win...

The producer meant the movie to be for kids the age of those used in the film (highschool) and older, however to his dissapointment the movie was rated R...
