kos_tsan I think this movie is overrated at 7.7/10.Despite the fact that the original idea has no total logic (send kids to kill each other to evaluate life and ethics etc??), all the remaining issues have no sense as well.1) Why their school principal (their sensei) has so important role and even the military guys obey him? He is just a school principal after all. 2) Why on earth, the military left without checking for the last 2 bodies, in order to determine the winner. They got scare of the principal?? It makes no sense.I could count down for ever but lets stop here. The only good about this film is its main purpose, throw a bunch of people in an island and tell them to kill each other until is only one survivor. They could make a better film much easier.P.S. The sequel (BR2) is even worse

aziz_essa This movie is absolutely overrated. It's kind of comedy movie I would say. In the most of the violence scenes I have had to laugh a lot. Some of people here would say, if you don't understand Japanese culture you will not understand this movie... this is my second Japanese movie I have ever watched. This movie if I could call it a movie is absolutely crap and timewasting. Very bad acting. it doesn't deserve more than 3 stars.. and 3 stars only for the idea of this film.

mkivtt You know, lately I've been so fed up with movies. Everything I watch is seemingly a total piece of garbage. Nowadays when I watch something, I scan through probably 50 titles, and check the ratings for each to try and filter out the crap.So last night I settled on this. With a 7.7 rating, it can't be bad, right? Wrong.It's boring, it's stupid, the effects are a joke, and the little action there was gives way to a toe-curling melodramatic yawn-fest after an hour.The story's absolutely pathetic. Why would they go out of their way to dump these kids on an island? Why is their old school teacher in charge of the army (what do they do for other classes in other years, do they find their old school teachers too?) Someone's yelling from a mountain top half a mile away, and everyone can hear them? That same person on the mountain top can spot two people hiding in a forest based on a single gunshot? I don't know who voted this so high, but I'm guessing they are fanboys of everything produced in Japan. There's no rational explanation this piece of crud deserves anything over a four out of ten.

Bill Papageorgopoulos I mean WHO!This movie looked to me as The power rangers that i LOVED at 8 years of age to find out how poor was the acting and the ''effects'' when i grew up..So i actually found this movie as the no.1 (LOL) most favorite movie in Quentin Tarantino's list.Then i found some good ratings so i gave it a shot....The movie is trying hard to make some drama or glorious scenes but its not good..Really poor acting ...I dunno just bad film
