Battle Royale

One of my favorite Japanese horror films. I bought a copy at a convention.


Another really good one is Suicide Club.

Battle Royale 2 is nothing compared to the first. In the first film you dont mind about the death scenes being long and over-dramatically acted by the young stars, in fact you relish it each time...However in the sequel, they dont have the same impact and can become very annoying and time wasting.

The movie still has good points, its worth owning if you liked and own the first. My rating for the first one is 8/10 but I only give 6/10 for the second.

I try to stay away from sequels, they're very rarely ever as good as the original. Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 - the rest are good examples.

When a movie is original and great, the sequel just can't come close. Unless Steven Spielberg is directing it.

But, I'm guessing you saw it, is it anywhere near as good as the first?

I really liked the first movie, it was something different.

As per the second movie, I agree with this:

However in the sequel, they dont have the same impact and can
become very annoying and time wasting.

Battle Royale Is An Awesome Movie, One Of The Best Films I Have Seen In A Long Time. Battle Royale 2 Is Great - I Had To Watch It A Couple Of Times To Appreciate It - But They Both Rock
