Jules N Un film qui ne possède pas le génie de son prédécesseur mais qui ose cependant un concept ayant une identité propre tout en gardant la ligne directrice du premier opus. En revanche, la subtilité à complétement disparue et fait place à une action beaucoup trop présente qui manque de substance.

Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/20/24 Full Review Hei Det E Rules go out the window; in a flash. This is an exercise in how to fully bury your own franchise, rather than extending it. The only redeeming factor it has, is that it has a couple of good moments; it has a few bright sparks - but nothing deemed worthy of a standing applause. Not worth a second viewing; but if you're so inclined - have a watch, simply to satisfy your curiosity. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Many people state this film isnt as good as the first Battle Royale, and thats true, but its also a little unfair. Both films are very different, and I think people wanted Battle Royale 2 to carry on the feel of the first film and so would come as a bit of a letdown when it was more a war film than a Lord of the Flies type movie. Battle Royale 2 is still worth watching though and is a great action packed war movie. (seek out the longer cut rather than the theatrical version though) Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review jordan m I actually liked the screenplay in this one, it was just the execution that was flawed. They did a good job putting a spin on the original and a few of the changes they made were appreciable, like giving all the characters anime hair so that you can tell them apart easier. Not that the last movie made that unduly difficult, just giving everyone huge spiked hair & dyeing some of them blonde was nice. The main issue was severely diminishing returns as other than the weird D-Day re-enactment this was extremely similar to the original. There's also a huge lull in action at the start of the second act that causes the movie to really overstay its welcome after the 90-minute mark as the entire back half of the movie felt like a super drawn-out climax. And I know it's a big part of anime sometimes but seeing a live-action movie where they have the characters do that barbaric yell/scream thing as if they've lost all self-control just felt silly.
