Battle Royale

[fantasyjunkie]

I just saw this movie for the first time. All I can say is just...wow.
(SPOILER)Especially the shootout between all those girls after one of them tried to poison that guy.

I love this movie. The idea was so dark and unique that I couldn't help liking it.(SPOILER) Although I found myself annoyed with the the two survivors. They whined pretty much the whole time. I liked the girl seeking revenge from the people who bullied her. She scared the piss out of me.

I enjoyed the movie, but I found the book to be vastly superior. I love it. There's more Shogo. There's more everything, obviously. I definitely didn't care as much about the people in the movie. But it was entertaining.

I read in some magazine that someone is thinking of remaking the movie (following in the footsteps of the grudge and the ring)

Yes. Many Japanese movies are going to be remade from the looks of it. It is rumored that the director of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift will be directing the American remake.

omg may the movie gods smite him!! He better not!

Kidding but that sounds terrible, I for one am getting tired of japanese remakes.

Battle Royale is amazing. I knew that as soon as I saw Shuya's weapon: a pot lid. Plus, it has Beat Takeshi in it. How can it be bad if Beat Takeshi is in it?

It sort of reminded me of Lord of the Flies, only better.

That's exactly what I was thinking while I was watching it.

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

I enjoyed it thoroughly. However I did feel that there were one too many mushy love stories in it

[DK]

It's my favourite Movie, I love it. The book is also really good, but I don't like it as MUCH more as Krissy, probably 'cause I saw the movie first. I do think it's better, just not by as much. And Kiriyama is way cooler in the film.

But yeah. There's so many underlying ideas and things in the story, and it's all good.

BRII is awesome, too. YEAH, IT IS!

[Drift]

BRII is crap kyono, too many people died too quickly in the second one imo

[Lilliputian Hitcher]

Plus they forgot to put an actual battle royal in the second one. I mean really.

The first one is excellent though. Of course, I tend to rate any movie that plays classical music at incredibly inappropriate moments rather highly.

Been quite a while since ive seen it, but I remember that orange haired guy was a total bad-ass.......the second movie wasnt nearly as good as the first.....

[Xander]

I love it... I didn't know there was a book (unless you mean the manga) *goes to look for it*
