Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

SlyGuy21 The main thing this movie suffers from is that the first film did this already. We all know about the island, the necklaces, the time-limit, the danger zones, so what can you do to make the sequel feel fresh? Apparently taking a lot of inspiration from "Saving Private Ryan" and adding in more action. Which is funny, because the action is kinda all this movie has going for it. The action's fine, but I don't care about the characters as much and the story takes a backseat to action in the second half especially. The first film had a great balance of action, suspense, and story, this not so much. I did like it, but I'd rather just watch the first one and call it good.

ikissedaguru This Japanese dystopian tale is sought after by a lot of horror buffs. That's not strange because there's over the top gore in it. When it pops up on ebay it goes over a few hundred dollars. It's only available on Japanese VHS but not dubbed or on Ocean Shores Video Limited label which is dubbed.The dubbing itself is stupid and laughable. But you don't watch it for the dubbing. You watch it for the flick that is all about a teen revolution and death-matches. Some scene's are a bit weird like the one with the Minotaur but it's a must see for the political commentary itself.The effects used are two-penny effects and the acting isn't Oscar worthy either. But it's an utterly trashy flick with some cheesy moments like when making love Alan says,"Honey I can't come in, you have seen being blocked, You feel like a virgin". She replies, "I'm horny". You'll get the point, or watch the cockney accent of the whore. The score do add towards the creepiness of some parts.Just have a close look at the VHS cover, does it ring a bell? Yes, the coloured skull used for 'Inferno' by Dario Argento. I liked it and it never bored me, I watched it with a smile on my face, maybe it was the brutal sorcery.

Leofwine_draca As a sequel to BATTLE ROYALE, the blockbuster smash-hit that stands as one of the finest Japanese movies of recent years, BATTLE ROYALE II had little chance of recapturing that film's magic. It doesn't. The troubled production didn't help, with director Kinji Fukasaku dying after a single day's shooting, leaving the remainder of the job to be completed by his son Kenta. The good news is that BATTLE ROYALE II doesn't go down the traditional route of copying the first film's formula; instead, this breaks new ground entirely, as a new class of troublesome schoolkids are tasked with attacking Shuya Nanahara's island fortress and killing him.Yes, there are problems here. The running time is overlong and the film misses Fukasaku's inspired direction; this looks and feels more like a routine movie without the magic. Not many of the characters are sympathetic, other than those already established in the first movie. In addition, there are quite a lot of lousy CGI effects used to simulate the blood which just don't cut the mustard in terms of today's effects technology. Overlook these issues and you have a pretty good movie that asks intriguing questions about the nature of warfare, justice and humanity, as well as providing fitful bursts of action along the way.The first half of the film is actually the best. There's a reprise of the teacher-student scene from the first movie, with Takeshi replaced by a new, even more insane guy who pops pills like no tomorrow, and one incredibly gruesome moment involving the infamous explosive collars. Then the film becomes, somewhat surprisingly, a war movie, heavily riffing on SAVING PRIVATE RYAN as we watch the inexperienced schoolkids attempting to storm the terrorist's island and getting blown up and shot along the way. The second half is much more slower, full of dialogue and philosophy, but that doesn't stop the climax from being pretty exciting: we follow the dwindling survivors in a ferocious gun-battle with enemy soldiers, watching as they're picked off one by one before the ending (and a twist epilogue, of course).The acting's pretty good, with Tatsuya Fujiwara taking the honours as usual: he's made a credible transformation from innocent student to terrorist leader in this one, and we're behind him all the way. The film is enlivened with plenty of over-the-top performances, and the climatic rugby-ball sequence is hilarious in the extreme. Not a great film by any means, instead a solidly enjoyable one.

abigailking90 I genuinely cant believe this movie is as bad as it is. The first movie had an actual story line. Around half way through I may have lost my will to live, it was so horrible. With the first being such a classic to some I'am appalled and amazed how just BAD this was. If I could give it less than 1 star, I would. There is literally NO interesting content in the entire movie. The voice acting was much worse, I feel like none of the characters developed at all, and it was so obvious what was going to happen I really don't know why I finished watching it. Save yourself the headache and stop at movie 1, or never watch the series at all. I can honestly say this is in the top 5 of the worst movies I've ever seen.
