RIP OFF!
This movie is such a rip off of me... I mean common her favourite color is green... THATS MY FAVOURITE COLOR!!.... I should sue them.
shareif you are referencing the battle royal thing I get it.
quite frankly all movies battle royal included are based on concepts done to death previously.

your overthinking it. the concept of fighting to the death in an "arena" has been done to death since real history in gladiator times.thats all it is at its base concept.
what...you think the location matters? like it has to be say school grounds, or kids in school uniform?thos are simply details.
but battle royal obviously is based on a concept done to death. fightin to the death because one is forced to kill his fellow man.its gladiator times.
I dont know why you included that list. if you think hunger games is based on battle royal, well then battle royal is based on gladiator areana fighting.
so battle royal AND hunger games are ripp offs techically.
its just that the hunger games is a far far superior movie than battle royal.

I like how you ask people to prove BR is a ripoff, and then provide a list of things they can't use to prove that because those things actually are good arguments for why you could call BR a ripoff too. That's like saying "Prove this man murdered somebody.", and then saying you can't use the bloody knife in his back pocket as evidence.

And when it's proved that someone was seen slipping that bloody knife into his back pocket, and the knife has that someone's DNA and fingerprints, on it and their clothing is splattered with blood from top to bottom, and the back pocket has no blood on it at all, that knife can't be used as evidence against your hypothetical man at all. Can it? See all of that is evidence, not the presence of the knife in an innocent person's pocket.

Everyone knows that the first hunger games was *beep* campared to Battle Royale, however the sequel was on of the best and has more action with more characters story which is a more fairer fight against Battle Royale
shareThat, I presume, is precisely what the producers wanted: a way to extract more admission ticket money from the audience. Too bad. In doing that, they have reduced the overall value of the series.
shareKatniss comes off a basket case. Not so much annoying or egocentric, like the original poster said, but just emotionally messed up. That's not far from how Fukasaku portrayed Shuya at this point in BR sequels, for better and for worse, it's not a mistake in interpretation, it's a basic dramatic decision.
shareFolks are just upset by the current state of thing in H-town... because they weren't told Catching Fire was a Battle Royale 2 remake, they want a refund. There was no warning labels or anything. We used to have the same problem in my country... you know, like 3 out 4 movies turn out to be ripoffs.

Knights of Forty Islands by Sergey Lukyanenko
It was written before Battle Royale and its basically the same concept. There are more that have not been translated in English because they just were not as popular and or the audience at the time didn't like the concept enough to make it popular. But yeah Battle Royale is definitely NOT an original.

There's no resemblance between BR2 and Catching Fire. The former is a silly story about cowardly military officers who kidnap juvenile delinquents and send them on the dangerous missions to save their own skins. The latter is a story about an aging dictator whose attempts to suppress unrest backfire and spark a revolution.
shareif you are referencing the battle royal thing I get it.Could you go ahead and name any that shared both the plots of BR AND BR2, then? share
