Jesus, the worst thing about the Hunger Games is people trying to prop up this piece of shite. Battle Royale is Hunger Games without any of the subtext. It's a pretty terrible movie without one believable character and its simply an excuse for action sequences, which aren't all that terribly well done anyway. Battle Royale has become the worst kind of "cool kids" movie, used as a stick to bludgeon a popular film despite the fact A) you probably didn't see until after the hunger Games and B) it's not very good. At all.

Yeah I got into a pretty long-winded argument with my buddy about the complete steaming pile Battle Royale is. I wish I had that time back. It was, in all honesty, one of the worst movies I've seen in the past five years.
