At least battle royale made a semblance of sense.

sending the bad kids to fight to the death might actually keep discipline of kids under control.

plus not fair to compare a low budget Japanese flick with big budget Hollywood.

Battle Royale owns Hunger Games. Hunger Games was fricking terrible and BORING.

No it didn't.

People before me had already done it. Moreover, many people compare the two films. The problem with Battle Royale is I literally didn't give a frick about any of the students. And what the hell was the motivation of the teacher, who is all the sudden a cold-hearted prick? Was just a stupid fricking movie designed to attract an audience that likes violence. The only interesting scene in the movie was when (SPOILER I GUESS)

The girls in the lighthouse all killed each other. That was a pretty good look at human nature.

I didn't mind the books, the first being the best obviously. I stalk Jennifer Lawrence, a hot chick, not JGL. So I didn't mind the movie either, despite terrible cinematography. I enjoyed the books pretty good actually.


I haven't watched Battle Royale and doubt I will. It was released in 2000. The Hunger Games book was released in 2008. The timing would be spaced out enough that THG could have been ripped off of Battle Royal, did it have that many similarities?
