Battle Royale made by Hollywood

Rating: 6/10 (26 March 2012)

Before I start, I've not read the 3 books associated with this film.
I watched The Hunger Games on the weekend, and it's an OK movie edited for kids. Suzanne Collins denies any knowledge of Battle Royale, but the duplication is embarrassing. As the phrase goes, "there's nothing new in Hollywood" and this is evident throughout this film from start to finish.
Please watch the original Battle Royale which is 1000% times better than this, watered down, made to make millions Hollywood creation.
This film does not deserve the hype surrounding it, but I just hope the millions this film generates is funnelled into some new and exciting not the same crap often expected from Hollywood.
