Battle Royale

"This feels like an anime adaptation done correctly. It's overacted, brutal, gorey, funny, and wonderful. Give it a chance, it's a great movie. "

"Too long and drawn out, overly cheesy and dramatic in multiple parts, didn't flow well. I did not enjoy this movie at all."

"Some interesting and amusing moments. But, I watched this for the first time as an older adult, and had a hard time being patient with the teenaged melodrama. Also, the film reminded me of generic Hollywood action films… which I have increasingly avoided watching the past 10+ years. Can’t recommend. (Except for maybe young viewers looking for an action film sprinkled with some palatable violence.)"

"Adaptation done right."

"First time ever watching this moive and I honestly really enjoyed it. This movie walked so the battle royal genre could run "

"Battle Royale is an insane and consistently entertaining film that doesn't let you lose focus on its directions, its characters and their backstories, and sets the right tone for the right survival film to see. I loved every minute of it and I need to get it on blu-ray in the best edition possible"

"Oh my god this is not very good it’s just so entertaining "

"A story similar to Lord of the flies. About a school in a dystopian future that forces student to kill one another until only one remains winner of the years Battle Royals. Also one of my all time favorites. "

"Asian classic!!"

"Probably what inspired Hunger Games"
