Erick V The film does has moments where it could be controversial Japanese dystopian thriller in which a class of students need to fight due to being forced because the government orders them to do it. The film shows to be governmental control survival skills and lots of intense and action but also shows the different tension it has on a persons thinking. The film was not bad nor great but just in the middle which the film tends to show a deeper message which the film may not be for everyone and some will find it unpleasing while other will find the film interesting and different from others. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/26/25 Full Review Audience Member I would not recommend this movie. To be honest, I did not really enjoy the plot. This film felt very cliche to me and some of the deaths were just over the top. People say not to take the film “seriously” so you can enjoy it. But, I feel like that does not make sense. It’s a thriller… I feel like it should be taken seriously to some extent. Teens and adolescents misbehaving so they started (Battle Royale) to teach them does not really make sense to me. the movie was cool and entertaining in some aspects but u definitely would not watch it again. The movie is very gory and violent so if you do not like that I would suggest you skip! I also did not really enjoy the love stories; it felt poorly done and out of place to me. The CGI is definitely not the greatest either. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/12/25 Full Review Jesus A I watched this film a couple yesrs ago but went I discovered this film called under the cult category I was surprised. Reasoning for this is cause the first cult film I belive I watched was El Topo which in my opinion was horroable as I didn't know what I was watching. Anyways I do recommend this film and as I said it been a while since I watched this and all I really remember is it does include a lot of gore and if I can recall the ending was a little weird other than that recommendplot of film is pretty crazy. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/11/25 Full Review Benjamin H Incredibly gory, unrelenting and tightly packaged, Battle Royale is such an exciting movie that keeps you engaged from scene one while also having some well handled moments of character depth. There are a couple of scenes that could have been changed slightly, but that is a nitpick, as i found this to be so much fun and it definitely falls under the category of an all killer, no filler type of movie. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/25 Full Review Cee S Battle Royale, directed by Kinji Fukasaku, was released in 2000. This is an educational movie to show adults how to make kids be more respectful. This movie takes place in Japen where the children have become delinquent and disrespectful. The government rounds up a random group of students to kill each other with-in three days. Battle Royale is very similar to the Hunger Games that was made in 2012. In one of the beginning scenes there is a student that whispers in class. This is very rude and disrespectful. The teacher had no other choice but to throw a knife at the child and kill them. To quote Lois C.K.’s YouTube Video, If Murder Was Legal, “Children would behave very differently if murder was legal.” Maybe Battle Royale has the right idea. Not only will adding a little more restrictions to children’s life make them more respectful, but it will also lower the population by the need to put certain unruly children down. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/25 Full Review Marija P Pointless, frustrating, not enjoyable by any metric and definitely not deserving of a higher rating.
