MCT:May 7, 2008A great plot with a terrifying concept. Definately worth watching but there are better and more suspenseful japanese horror-movies. Battle Royale are entertaining and a bit predictable, I prefer more mystery and tension.

MCT:May 7, 2008A brilliantly dark, twisted and funny movie. Such a bizarre premise that's well written and well directed. The Requiem theme at the beginning sets the tone for the entire film.

Incredible plot, horrific action scenes, deep characters and a taste of dark comedy make this foreign film a must-see. It's well directed (Fukasaku) and excellently cast.
Although I'm only familiar with veteran actor Takeshi Kitano (MXC) and extremely cute Chiaki Kuriyama (Kill Bill), the other Japanese cast-members depicted a surprising range of roles. The dramatic loss of friends is heavily emotional in many scenes, very much alike the situations from 'Cloverfield'.
If you like action, gorgeous Japanese women in schoolgirl uniforms, badass stand-out characters and intelligent ultraviolence - watch this film. -

Absolutely engaging, breathtaking. Brilliantly shot and cinematic. Affects you when you watch it - stays in your subconcious!

Yes, they have most definetly taken the rights to remake this. From what i have heared Battle Royale is a very good movie, but it's a common thing now Japan release something original and America snatch it and remake it. Most of American remakes turn out to be alot of rubbish.

Apparently New Line Cinema has snatched up the rights to make an American version of BR.(Here for more details: http://www.joblo.com/index.php?id=11650)Thoughts? I think this is probably one of the more idiotic things Hollywood has done. Why mess with a classic?

Mental ! And I'm not just talking about Beat Takeshi's acting either ! The man himself is up to his usual high standard when it comes to playing mentally deranged individuals. As for the schoolkids.... The death by poison spaghetti is a piece of comedy genuis. I'm sure at some point in the near future the great vampire Hollywood will make a totally lame re-make of this classic but even that won't spoil my enjoyment of this classic Japanese craziness !

I saw Battle Royale recently about a month or so ago and I liked it. Which do you prefer 1 or 2? I actually liked the first one better it was more shallow lol. I actually put my pic over Chiaki Kuriyama's character pic and put it on lmy page...yeah dork. lol.

I had to watch this on YouTube because the film is not available in the U.S. (unless you spend $30+ to get an imported copy. And I happen to be low on cash). It's pretty good for what it is. Granted, it's more of an action movie than a balance of action and drama (the novel truly got the balance just right on it). Nevertheless, it's a good watch and a recommended one at that.

I felt bad when Takako Chigusa(Chiaki Kuriyama) died. Hell, I felt bad when quite a few of them died. Great movie though!
