Plot: In the future, the Japanese government captures a class of ninth-grade students and forces them to kill each other under the revolutionary "Battle Royale" act.

A truly awesome experience filled with a nice variety of characters, damn near perfect deaths, excellent fight scenes, fun and over-the-top scenes, odd but effective dialogue, and most of all - heart. This is what Hunger Games tried to be. My only real complaint was that I guessed the final four in the first fifteen minutes.

I've never gotten the hype when it comes to THG but it was still an okay movie. Different topic for a different thread though. ;) Who was everyone's fave BR character? Mine was Mitsuko. Absolutely badass. Chigusa was a close second.

This was big amongst my friends back in high school, when the wave of J-Horror was about to break.

I guess it's one of the first foreign movies that caught my attention and I've been into it ever since.

I fell asleep during THG but Battle Royale was awesome. Another one similar is Red Room. Havent finished it yet but simply because it really pushes the japanese stereotypes which kind of irritated me a bit because I lived in Japan and didnt really like seeing the japanese ridiculed so much, eventhough it's a japanese director but he's pretty well anti establishment. Here's the review that hooked me

I will revisit this film and see it through to the end.

I read this book in high school. Saw the movie shortly after and let me tell you. It definitely has a message, and I love it. The deaths are fantastic in the movie. THG tried, but it doesn't even reach the greatness that is Battle Royale.

I enjoy both THG and BR for what they are. THG thought mostly for the characters, BR because of the concept and brutality.

A great movie. Probably one of my favorite films now. Deaths were great, very intense scenes. Some asian cuties. It's too bad you can predict the final 2 in the beginning of the film. Be nice if it wasn't predictable. But I actually didn't expect the ending. I thought it was kinda gonna be like

I am not good with their names, but I did like the asian dude with the glasses. I never saw hunger games and honestly don't want to since it's just a watered down version of this movie.

Excellent film with some great deaths and intense scenes. Like others probably mentioned, my main complaint is that quite a few of the students were so undeveloped that I remember their death scenes more than the characters themselves.

I thought it was sweet how a couple in the beginning killed themselves together. I watched this with my sister and she enjoyed it too. The psycho dide with the spike hair reminds me of someone from final fantasy 7 (game) I forgot his name though.

This was one of my favorite movies in high school. I collected the manga in hardcover and everything. Mitsoku is my favorite character, but the lighthouse scene is my favorite.

I prefer the original version rather than the new special addition. They did a great job adding CGI. It improved the look of the movie without being noticeable. I thought most of the scenes they added were unnecessary.

I am surprised you haven't seen it, Dan.
