Movie Review: Bloody And Barbaric, Battle Royale Is A Slasher Nightmare - Page 2

Even taken as a disposable horror flick, this film cannot be watched and unfortunately it isn’t one of those films that’s so bad that it has a sort of charm — it’s just utter garbage. The violence isn’t even that interesting because we’ve seen this sort of thing in Arnold Schwarzenegger’s The Running Man and Jean-Claude Van Damme’s Hard Target. I wish that Godzilla had popped up and finished off all the kids to end their misery and ours.

P.S. Surprisingly, this is one of the top ten highest grossing films in Japan, having earned 3.1 billion yen.

    i think it was a very good movie really creative storie and made me wating more about the stories past i took it to school a while back and in no time there was a big circle around the tv all into the movie and none of them had never even seen a japanese flick. but having said that i did not like the second part it all went too fast and the rules changed so much that i didnt take any interest
