7.7 / 10

Forty-two students, three days, one deserted Island: welcome to Battle Royale. A group of ninth-grade students from a Japanese high school have been forced by legislation to compete in a Battle Royale. The students are sent off to kill each other in a no-holds-barred game to the death, until one survives -- or they all die. Some decide to play the game like the psychotic Kiriyama or the sexual Mitsuko, while others are trying to find a way to get off the Island without violence. However, as the numbers dwindle is there any way for Shuya and his classmates to survive?

@eduardoperez13579 Er... Battle Royale was released in the year 1999 (or was it 2000?). The Hunger Games is from 2008. If anything, HG is a version of BR, not the other way around. - @Saturday, January 28, 2012 1:23 PM

@LostMusicalMeanings I'm cool with that, since there isn't really basis for it though, I disagree, I think opinions should be as rational as possible. - @Monday, November 7, 2011 3:48 AM

@futurestoryteller He doesn't mean it as factual as needed,but more as of an opinion. - @Sunday, November 6, 2011 9:39 PM

futurestoryteller

@LostMusicalMeanings I think *you* misunderstood *me*. I'm saying they aren't *fixing* anything, they aren't *changing* anything. The two movies would be seperate. - There's never any 'need' to make any movie, except for money; as a necessity. The langauge is all messed up when people talk of remakes, 'they' didn't 'change the original' because it isn't the original. George Lucas changes the original. You'll be able to watch this you know, as is, if they make another one. It's okay. - @Sunday, November 6, 2011 9:32 AM

@futurestoryteller I think you misunderstood chaney1.He means that this movie is as good as is.There's no need to make another. - @Sunday, November 6, 2011 9:24 AM

I wanna see this DX - @Sunday, November 6, 2011 9:05 AM

@chaney1 Why? Remakes are not only not inherently bad, but nothing is going to happen to the original movie, you should calm down. - @Thursday, October 27, 2011 5:49 PM

Re making this movie is absolutely UNNECESSARY! It's a classic the way it is! - @Tuesday, June 14, 2011 3:18 AM

@TheDeatheater179 It is the 9th grade. Teacher Kitano is their old 7th grade teacher. Their 9th grade teacher was killed in the very beginning for opposing the selection of the class. - @Tuesday, March 22, 2011 5:46 PM
