As good as the first?


I of course saw and absolutley loved the first film and now I wanted to check out this one. I can't spend money like there is no tomorrow so I was wondering...is this film is worth watching or not?

As good as the first? Not by a long shot. Worth watching to judge for yourself how bad it is? If you're really big into the first one, you might as well. Just know that fandom seems to be generally divided into two camps: "This is pure garbage" and "This is garbage with a few worthwhile scraps."

I must be like of the 2% percentile that actually likes this one "almost" as much as the first one. I just like the tone, mood, look of the film. Though it's not as well constructed/ executed as the first, I still think it holds it's own (if one can look past some of it's big glaring "why the hell did they choose to do *that?* type of moments/ segments)

Battle Royale ****
Battle Royale II: Requiem **1/2 / BRII: Revenge ***

Im with you Robo. I liked this one alot. I'd take a look into it if you were just a fan of war movies. Though Im no professional with war movies so dont flame me.

Does BRII: revenge have a better ending than reqiuem's 'they were low on ammo, completely surrounded by trained army officials but escaped and lived happily ever after' or is it only some stuff in the middle that they fleshed out?


No, the ending's basically the same. Ultimately Revenge doesn't fix the bad spots in Requiem, it just adds/reinforces good ones.

Nope, not at all.
