03.23.12 | When it comes to kids killing kids, nothing will ever beat "Battle Royale". A damn good attempt though.
I liked the movie overall. Some poor acting and hella cheesy one liners here and there. Otherwise solid. Definitely worth seeing at midnight like a fanboy poser fag. |

03.23.12 | do i have to see it at midnight like a fanboy poser fag or |
Samizdat
03.23.12 | because there weren't enough facebook statuses about this film |
Slum
03.23.12 | it's a movie about children killing children and it's pg-13? that sounds stupid as shit |
Recspecs
03.23.12 | I thought the same thing and it wasn't bad for PG-13. An R rating would have made it interesting. |

03.23.12 | why are the hipsters screaming about this |
Slum
03.23.12 | haha hipsters? this is being hyped by everyone |
mastille
03.23.12 | is it like twilight
is it like narnia
is it like war of the worlds
i am forever skeptical of movies based on books and battles, or movies like avatar, with large themes and little actual soul
and people called hemsworth
or are hipsters like me totally wrong |

03.23.12 | Sounds like the new twilight, only this time they rape slaughter movies like BR instead of vampire movies.
I think I'll pass. |

03.23.12 | After getting a few hours of sleep I was able to think about it a bit and did realize that the movie wasn't that great. I already mentioned the flaws above, but they seem a lot worse now. |

It's like Battle Royale, actually. |

03.23.12 | Went to see it at a pre-release showing last night. Decent film, but there were a load of teenage girls dressed up as characters, and the audience applauded 3 times mid-way through the film. I nearly killed someone. |

03.23.12 | "battle royale comes to mind"
battle royale probably destroys it |

omnipanzer
03.23.12 | The book is a quick read, I hope it's as good or better.
There is a lot of room for improvement. |
AngelofDeath
03.23.12 | Why? Battle Royale is the shiz. |
Ignimbrite
03.23.12 | yes, Battle Royale was a prime movie, but still |
Recspecs
03.23.12 | Battle Royale is the ultimate toddler slaughter film. |
KSK1
03.23.12 | Me and three of my friends went and saw it last night not knowing what it was about, just that it was popular, and it was actually pretty awesome. Worth the risk. |
Jackus
03.23.12 | Could have watched it long before it came out under the title of Battle Royale... |

Fortheloveofmusic
03.23.12 | I liked Suzanne Collins for Gregor the Overlander. Does that make me a hipster? |
ILJ
03.23.12 | The book was pretty good. It's a little annoying that fucking EVERYBODY loves it now and wants to go see it, but at least the book was good and deserved it, as opposed to that fucking Twilight garbage. |
Tyrannic
03.23.12 | it just seems like all the hipsters in my life are simultaneously screaming at me to read these books.
probably won't just to out-hipster the hipsters. |

03.23.12 | My mate just went to see it and said it's really good, and he was really sceptical about it.

paxman
03.23.12 | I'm all for the Hunger Games, because from what I hear the books are actually quite well-written. I haven't read them myself, but the popularity of garbage like Twilight makes me sick. |
DotEight
03.23.12 | I'll wait for it to come out on Netflix. |
Tyrannic
03.23.12 | yeah, i doubt it is as bad as people are saying, but i also doubt that it's seriously that good. maybe netflix someday when i'm bored. |

03.23.12 | I'm only waiting in line for Prometheus, Batman, and The Hobbit |

04.04.12 | "sounds like a story that's been done a thousand times. "
so? every movie's story has essentially been done a thousand times. fuck, the lion king is pretty much hamlet, that doesn't stop it from being awesome |
qwe3
04.04.12 | "The Inception of senseless deus ex machinas."
i kinda agree with you but then i thought well the whole thing IS being orchestrated by a higher power so like deus ex machinas are kinda to be expected. |
Recspecs
04.04.12 | Everyone I know was in shock when I told them I didn't like it haha. It seems every person in between the ages of 11-19 has a HungerGamesboner. |
qwe3
04.04.12 | i liked it, it was solidly acted and the pacing was pretty good. i also really liked the game show-like segues, the contrast worked really well.
some lines were pretty grimace worthy but i mean w/e didn't ruin it for me
i wish they'd had more time to develop the characters though cuz when it showed that some of the whatevers had died i was usually just like "oh" rather then "aw fuck they died i loved them like a son" or w/e |
Gmork89
04.04.12 | I like how any movie/book featuring a love triangle will forever be compared to twilight now. |
Recspecs
04.04.12 | "some lines were pretty grimace worthy but i mean w/e didn't ruin it for me"
That's really what did it for me. That, plus how they neutered it down to a PG-13 rating, and how undeveloped some of the characters were. At least in the first book (which I recently finished) the characters are all well developed and I know what the fuck is going on. Plus the ending was kinda cliche/hella gay. Woody Harrelson and Jennifer Lawrence did fantastic though. |
qwe3
04.04.12 | yeah man woody was fucking great i really liked him. might read the book. |
Recspecs
04.04.12 | It's definitely worth it, I used to be big into reading a while ago.....kinda glad I'm starting up again. |
Gmork89
04.04.12 | I really enjoyed the books. |
defjaw83
04.04.12 | The whole PG-13 thing didn't bother me because showing more blood etc wouldn't have made the movie better in any way imo. The movie was pretty dark and had some themes that a 13 year old wouldn't understand so I can handle that. It wasn't dumbed down in any way for the rating I don't think |
johnnyblaze
04.04.12 | halfway through the second book and hooked as a motherfucker. yes, the writing is juvenile as fuck but the storyline and characters are good and i'm especially digging the political side of the story. i'm a sucker for post-apocalyptic novels in general tho. |
Recspecs
04.04.12 | I'm not seeing how the next two movies can be any lower than R. |
