Battle Royale is the best movie ever made
The title says it all. Downloaded the directors cut yesterday and watched it. Maybe I'm going a little too far by saying it's the best movie ever made... Definately, probably my favorite movie I've seen all year. If you haven't seen the movie I demand that you see it immediately. For those who have seen it, do you agree?
It is indeed an excellent movie. Not the best ever, but it's certainly up there.
I would sell my soul to get my hands on the briefing video they see when they first get on the island. Pure genius.
Yeah, I love that video. The girl who does it also does the voice for Asuka of Neon Genesis Evangelion.
The 'video' would be an incomprehensible compilation of clips that you see in the movie. They don't 'miss' anything in between the um...outbursts and killing.
As for BR being the best movie, it's an action flick and therefore will NEVER be the best movie ever. Best movie implies some sort of near-objective supremacy, which is usually limited to dramas and maybe family movies, but not likely. But that's just my bigotry speaking.
If you ever find out that BR2 exists, I don't think you should pursue it....it's not really directed by the same guy (as he died during production), so it doesn't have the same feel. It's also pretty boring and dare I say, lame.
Yeah it was a pretty cool movie, but they could've done so much more with it! Maybe there should be less students or something so they wouldn't have to rush the movie so. It seemed like they did rush it sometimesAnd I didn't really like the ending. I was expecting a pretty good ending, but I was dissapointed really. Maybe it's because I don't like anime. This movie did have some resemblances to anime movies. Anyway, the first part of the movie was great, then it went downhill.
I have it on DVD. It's pretty good yeah but also can be very depressing I think. Then ending kind of leaves you saying: "wtf...?" I think so they could of clarified it a bit more but yeah, it's certainly an original idea that is done well. Cool film

I second that, avoid the sequel and stick to the firstIf you ever find out that BR2 exists, I don't think you should pursue it....it's not really directed by the same guy (as he died during production), so it doesn't have the same feel. It's also pretty boring and dare I say, lame.
It's an awesome movie, I love it. It's a personal favorite.
And it was really surprising. I was expecting to see just an mindless action movie, and I found out that it's not mindless at all. Well, it's not an action movie at all, too... I don't know how to define it, but it was damn good.
I just think that the ending was a little silly, and predictable. But the ending is not important in this movie.
And the lighthouse scene is one of the best things I've ever saw.
I've seen the future, brother. It is murder.
I agree. It's a nice study of human nature. Like the girls in the lighthouse, for example. The effects of the tension, and the distrust, even lifelong friends turned against eachother. I loved that.
The ending... eh, it was weird. I didnt mind it so much.
It's good and I liked it, but the fact that while I was watching it, Xander fell asleep and started snoring, kinda lessened the impact for me.
My favorite part is the megaphone scene. Nothing like seeing pure symbols of peace in chaotic situations get mowed down from behind with a fully automatic weapon. See attachment for reference.
I just watched it..It's an awesome movie..you should all see it..
one of my top favorites surely..is there a sequel to it?
