Battle Royale is like hunger games? Battle Royale is from the1970s and way darker/real vs hunger games. I felt each death of Battle Royale vs half the death passed over in hunger games.

Wow. What an overrated movie. I can't believe the hype this things got.

Where do I start.

Weird plot, boring at times, predictable. A mediocre movie.

It was a kids movie.


Me my wife and kids love this film.

It wasn't a bad movie but not one that I'm in any hurry to watch again.

I saw the first 30-40 minutes then stopped because I realized I had to trim my toenails. This movie blew chunks.

I read the book of Hunger Games last year and then a few weeks back I saw the film. I thought the film was better than the book (and its not often that can be said), it seemed to have more impact. But nothing lives up to the hype these days, it would be impossible to.

It is more important to get people to pay for a cinema ticket/dvd than to make a good film, so all the effort goes into marketing.

Yeah The Running Man was way better and was a great role for Arnold.
