Battle Royale (2000)

Total nonsense
30 July 2023
The premise of the story is ok and it might have great potential in the right hands. But this Japanese version was turned into total nonsense, with all the bad and fake acting, plot holes, nonsensical acts, running around for no reason, attracting attention while knowing you'd get killed, etc etc.

Even the actors are very undeveloped and difficult to care for, with many of them making nonsencial decisions. The conversations are also very shallow. It feels like a low budget indie movie made by kids, even though the budget might've been high for Japanese standards.

I truly don't understand why many people like this movie so much, but I'm guessing it may be due to a few different ways of portraying violence, even though it was sloppy and just as nonsensical.
