So i own both. I love the first but the second one eh....The second one makes me cry. It wasent as exciting and confused me a lot at times. But then again it is BR hahaha. Has anyone else seen the two? What do you think?

I saw the first one years and years ago and loved it. When I heard about the sequel I was kind of excited, but I had never gotten anything but negative feedback so I avoided it. So, as to date, I have only seen the original. Many many times. Maybe too many times. Of course, I still adore the film, but I think Asian cinema has much better to offer. Even just Asian extreme cinema. But, it'll always be a kind of classic in my eyes.

I know exactly how you feel. I heard nothing but negative things about BR2 but i still wanted to watch it to see how the story ends. Which was crap but it was worth it. BR1 on the other hand is like my number 2 favorite movie of all time. I love it!

BR1 was good I liked it better than part 2, I read the manga for 1 also, not what I expected but it was worth it.

I keep hearing about this movie, but I still haven't seen it. I just watched the trailer though. Looks interesting.

Yeah. The Manga is quite a bit different. And, although I am not a fan of most manga, I found it to be decently entertaining. It resembles more closely the novel, of the same name, that the film was adapted. There is quite a bit of Battle Royal styled merchandise and entertainment, heh.

Still waiting on the Anime series, huh?

I just finished watching Battle Royale. It was a pretty cool movie. Confusing at times, but still cool. And pretty funny at some points...

HA you watched it. Good huh. Yeah the book is great, the 1st movie great, manga is good but the 2nd movie fell apart. Anime series would be perfect. High school kids fighting for survival with some romance and drama. What more could you ask for.

Ha ha yeah a bunch of 15 year olds killing each other.
I still think it's a good movie though.
The books seem interesting, I guess I should try picking one up at the library or something.

Funny thing about BR is that its so complex and psychological yet it really just boils down to everyday household fights between adults and children.

read the book.

that's what you have to do. the book blows the movie out of the water.

I have and i agree. But the movie is still good hahaha.

Ha ha yeah. Especially in the 2nd movie. "We will fight against all of the adults."
Yeah, I want to read the book now. The action the movies were still good though.

Oh yeah. I just finished watching Battle Royale II.

Book is awesome Jesus you'll like it

Yeah you'll love the book.

Umm, I read the book! I didn't even know there was a movie, exciting! I suppose I shall rent it some day, although the book did really gross me out.

I'm starting to get some of the songs from the movie.

^ haha BR freak

I want to see it, I heard this movie was hella brutal when it comes to violence.

A guy got his head cut off and a grenade shoved in his mouth then thrown threw a window. Its great. Hahaha im going to watch it later.

Yeah KC a bunch of 15 year olds killing each other on an isolated island. It's pretty brutal.

Who is this KC?

KC is nightmare4taki.

Oh and he's Black. Not Asian.

I figured he was black the first day i got here hahaha.

Hahah you probably one of the few who knew , most people thought I was asian because I play the piano, watch anime, and I'm a Final Fanatasy Freak.

Join the club most people at school think im mixxed with filipino because they say i have an "asian geek" side to me which is true but ehh, black and indian and proud of who i be.

So who felt sorry for Niida when he got stabbed in the crotch by Chigusa?

I sho'nuff did.

He was a prick, he deserved it. Now the Hiroki death was sad.

I die.

Ha ha yeah I guess that's true too.

...wow all this talking about BR..I should watch BR2 again..I skimmed through most of the parts...

Of Course.

isnt it battle royale?

Yes.

Hi Sugimura.
Aren't you supposed to be dead? You were shot down by your crush.

Im reading the manga all over again hahahah

Just bumping this because...

New Line Cinema is doing a remake set to release in a year and a half (2008) I don't know who's going to direct it or who's going to star in it but I can say this: they better not mess up a good thing.

What are your opinions on this?

Lol I would love to be in that movie... such fun!

Oh, I saw it the other day, really fun! Not to imply that I am generally amused by slaughter, however...

I would have had fewer characters and more character development if it were down to me, because I got to the point where it was all a bit 'oh, another kid dead, don't care'... but that's a minor niggle.

Yo i loved the first one the second one ehhhhh didnt really like it the first made me laugh when the teacher died after he pulled out his squirt gun and got shoot about 1000 times in the chest. But before he died he ate a cookie LMAO LMAO
