Rip off

Rating: 1/10 (26 March 2012)

As simple as it is, this movie and book is a rip off of a Japanese novel and Japanese movie Batoru Rowaiaru or Battle Roayle. Novel written by Koushun Takami, who beat Suzanne Collins to the idea by about 11 years. A writer who can't even come up with her own ideas shouldn't be credited for anything at all, especially a writer who steals the basic concept of one idea and makes a few changes. Movie sucks, the book is a rip off simple as that. I personally found it very upsetting that Suzanne Collins even denies every hearing or knowing about Battle Roayle, a straight lie. Which shouldn't be hard for anyone involved in the movie business. Even Mr. Tarantino says Battle Royale has been his "favorite movie of the last 20 years" The fact that stuck up Suzanne Collins would deny the fact she has never heard of this and that the idea for this book came up of thin air is disgusting. I will add that Battle Royale might not be the most popular movie in America, but regardless Writer Koushun Takami should receive some kind of credit for this, which to my knowledge of now he hasn't been.
