4.0 out of 5 stars A surprisingly impressive sequel, 19 May 2008

By	J. Snook "Ichigo_2020 - Anime Buff" (Wales) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

The first Battle Royale movie is an extremely popular cult classic Japanese movie. And at first glance this second installment may seem totally unnecesary and just a cash in from the success of the first film. However, this could not be more wrong.
I must admit that this movie begins similar to the first BR, with the kids being knocked out and being forced to participate in the game. However there is an interesting twist this time...
Shuya Nanahara, the male protagonist of the first film returns in this movie; and having survived his own BR ordeal, has grouped up with several other winners of the the game and has declared war against all 'grown ups'. So basically, the grown ups have decided to not respond to this in an orthodox manner. Instead sending 42 kids from a delinquet school to fight the war. As the teacher in this film says "if you like wars so much, then fight them amongst yourselves"...or something like that.So the new aim of the BR game is not to fight and kill each other, but to find and kill Shuya.
This plotline, in my opinion ultimateley proves that this is not just a cash in on the first movie because instead of re-hashing the same story again, they have Created something fresh that actually expands on the original film. So BR2 is technically a follow up to the first film.
This movie has a war like theme which I really like. There is plenty of action and gore in this film. As well as quite a lot of moving scenes. The main theme of this movie, as well as the first one, is friendship, which creates interesting characterisation.
This set contains 3 discs. The first being the original cut of the movie lasts for about 2 hours and 10 mins. The second being the extended version which runs for a whopping 3 hours. The third disc contains special features which are interviews, featurettes and some trailers. All this comes in a nice tin boxset.
Surprisingly BR2 is a pretty good movie. It's obviously not as groundbreaking or successful as the first film, but it is still an impressive movie in its own way.
I'll admit that this isn't going to appeal to everyone. I'm guessing that the die-hard fans of the first Battle Royale movie will be disappointed as this is pretty different to the first movie. My advice is to just take this movie as it is. And try not to compare to the the original as you are watching, because you wont enjoy it as much. Some of the things in this movie left me a little disappointed on my first viewing due to comparing it too much. But now after a few more watches, I can say that Battle Royale is not as good as the original. But it is still an incredible movie.

1.0 out of 5 stars Trying to cash in on the success of a great film., 18 April 2008

By	Lenny Finkelstein (IOW, England) - See all my reviews

I feel that I should start by saying that Battle Royale is one of my all time favourite films. However I found Battle Royale 2 to be a huge disappointment. The story (what there is of one) makes little to no sense at all, and is culminated by one of the stupidest (and most ridiculous) endings ever. In short: if you are consifdering watching this because you loved the 1st one then don't, you will only end up disappointed.
