Battle Royale review

This is a movie i saw a month or two ago but i think its worth talking about,especially since the Hunger Games is so popular.

I feel bad for this movie because most people don't even know it exists.This film is based on the 1999 novel of the same name and also a manga.It revolves around 40 students forced to kill each other.The government created the Battle Royale survival program.As a group of kids were last on a bus,they wake up to find themselves in a old classroom surrounded by the military.Their teacher comes in and explains to them that they are on a island.All the students have collers on that will explode in 3 days,unless there is a winner.Every student is givin a bag with supplies and one random weapon,so one could get a gun while another gets a paper fan.So the students are sent out on the island to compete,some hesitant to kill their friends,others know what they will have to do to survive.Two of the students are also transfers,one of them has survived this before,he is a tough guy character who spends a good amount of the movie with the main two characters and the other transfer student never talks,but is a emotionless psychopath.

I feel that the Hunger Games movie and the book to a extent ripped this off.I know people who love the Hunger Games movie and when i mention this,they just claim it to be a cheap rip off.This movie kept my attention way more than that did.I also did get attached to the characters while watching it,i wanted some of them to live.The final 10 minutes had me on the edge of my seat hoping for the main characters to live,which is more than i can say for the Hunger Games movie.It's also more violent and bloody,which does have more of a impact,i don't hold that against the Hunger Games though because i know they had to go for a PG-13 rating.

I really hope this movie gets more attention,its streaming free on Netflix so i hope people notice it and i hope thats in the news more often because of the Hunger Games.Even while writing this,it makes me want to go back and watch it,and even read the book.So i highly reccomend this movie if you liked the Hunger Games or just want to see a really good movie.Hoperfully no HG fans try to kill me after this too.
