I like the idea and concept of these films, plus its a solid franchise. Shame that it ran out of substance and story after just one film. This is almost a re-make. Ultimately someone is going to make a lot of money by plagiarising Battle Royale.
Could they not have thought of something, anything different to add? Where the first had you scared of where the world realistically might go and how you would react under the circumstances, this had me weary of the world and not bothered what happened.
Like any televised death game show it inevitably had a repeat very quickly!
Hopefully the third film will prove something special. Although i remember a similar feeling around the Matrix films...
