Marcus U Battle Royale is a movie about 42 9th graders who get sent to a deserted island to kill each other. The goal is to be the last one standing. They are given necessities such as food, water, weapons, and a map. The kids have an explosive collar on their neck that explodes when they disobey a rule. I enjoyed it because it's a plot based on teenagers that is filled with tense moments and drama. It wasn't afraid to include violent, gory, and intense action-packed scenes. A lot of the time it showed and made you think of themes like companionship, survival, and morals. Battle Royale showed how the primal, animalistic instincts can kick in for one to survive the rest of the people in the same mindset. If you can withstand the violence, I reccomend this movie. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/20/25 Full Review Adrianna S Battle Royale was difficult for me to watch considering the gore and the violence. It showed the true instincts of humans when the choice becomes “kill or be killed.” In a way it reminded me of the very popular Hunger Games and Squid Games. It was very violent for me and I did not like seeing so many kids involved. It was very extreme with a lot of blood and harsh violence. I would not recommend this move to watch. I felt the movie did not spend time having the audience get to know the characters before the action. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/20/25 Full Review Haley R This movie was very intense, thought provoking and interesting to witness. Battle Royale explores themes of survival, friendship, societal control, violence and exploitation. This movie definitely serves as a commentary on how the governments potential to exploit and control their citizens, particular the youth. It also explores the sea of generational conflict that makes the movie very intense. I really liked the way this movie was filmed and the cinematography of it all. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone as I thoroughly enjoyed it. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/20/25 Full Review Diamond M Battle Royale is intense wild and kind of messed up, but in a really good way. The plot is simple but crazy: a class of high school kids is forced to fight to the death on an island, and only one can survive. It sounds brutal and it is but theres way more going on. The movie dives into fear, friendship, betrayal, and survival. Some scenes are heartbreaking, others are just plain shocking. The action is fast, the characters are interesting, and it keeps you on edge the whole time. Its violent for sure but its also smart and emotional. You really start to think about what you would do in that situation or at least i did. I give it a 4.5/ 5 stars because its not for the faint of heart but 100% worth watching. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/20/25 Full Review Anahit C Battle Royale would be a movie that I would choose to watch and I'm glad I did. This film is the type of film that sticks with you and makes a way into conversations when something similar is brought up. The violence in this film can be brutal but when understanding why it's done you see that it's never meaningless. The violence of the movie shows the trauma the kids are going through which makes the message even deeper. This film surprised me with the plots which were very enjoyable to experience, the dialogue and the acting was nice to me and seemed to fit with the idea the film was trying to portray. I would definitely recommend this film to anyone who enjoys feelings that have dystopian stories of survival dramas. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/20/25 Full Review lyalya . Watching Battle Royale for the first time was intense..in the best way. I had watched Squid Games before, and it was fascinating to notice the similarities - though I should mention Battle Royale definitely has its own raw, chaotic energy. The story doesnt waste any time and pulls you right into its violent, high-stakes world. What surprised me most was how emotionally gripping it was. It's not just shock value...there’s real tension, heartbreak, and depth behind the chaos. The relationships and desperation between the characters kept me locked in the whole time. It’s unsettling, thought-provoking, and honestly kind of brilliant. If you’re into dystopian survival stories, this is a must watch. It holds up incredibly well and absolutely earns its cult status.
