Battle Royal Rip

Rating: 7/10 (20 July 2012)

I loved The Hunger Games, don't get me wrong. It had amazing visuals, the character development pulled me in, and everything about it was well written. The only problem I have, is that the author says that they had never seen "Battle Royal" until after publishing their books. I'm sorry, but that's a blatant lie. Just like thousands of movies and books that have ripped off another countries version, this is no different. The author saw a way to make money by ripping another movie off. It wouldn't be that easy to tell "Battle Royal" was ripped off by this, if not for the fact that it's so very similar. Next time the author decides to steal the idea of another, way better movie, they should probably at least credit it. Overall it is a great film, but the Author needs to be a bit more honest with their fans.
