DVD Reviews of Battle Royale 2 Revenge Uncut SE
DVD Review: 1.5 stars out of 4
Summary: 1 Stars
The Bottom Line:
An unnecessary, stupid, and horribly boring sequel to the fascinating Battle Royale, number II should be avoided at all costs by anyone who likes their movies to make sense, be interesting, or have some modicum of ability behind or in front of the camera.
DVD Review: Disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars
I was very disappointed int eh quality of the movie because it would constantly go out of sync, the movie would skip so far ahead and sometimes restart to the title screen. The cover wasn't as it was advertised and it felt like a waste of money.DVD Review: Garbage

The overacting in this movie is unbearable. The teacher is the worst. Don't rent this, don't see this, and above all else don't buy this.DVD Review: everybody join in to blow up "that" country
Summary: 1 Stars
Battle Royal was one of the few good contemporary films to come out of japan in decades(besides Godzilla). After watching an all too familiar twin towers toppling scene at the beginning, and the terrorist responsible making a moving speech at the end for several nations to start a war with us! I'd say the director of BR2 got a little side-tracked. This movie attempts to accomplish two things- glorify terrorism and slam America. Riki Takauchi is talented at looking crazy while chewing on tic-tacs. BR2 is a rehash of the first film and a 911 fantasy from a director with his own extreme agenda. DVD Review: Rent don't own
Summary: 1 Stars
The storyline of BR II was stupid and didn't make sense. I own both movies and say BR II was a pale imitation of the first. There was no suspense or surprises. At first, It looked like a remake of the first movie. The only thing that made it worth viewing was that it helped answer a few unanswered questions from the first movie. No major revelations, but it was nice to have a more complete picture about the background of BR I. I would recommend renting BR II if you can find it but not buying it.
In a side note, although I think BR I is a masterpiece. I do see a flaw in both stories. The kids in BR are supposed to be the worst in the school system and cannot be rehabilitated. They are destined to be the worst elements of society like bullies, future criminals, or Paris Hilton types. In the story, after they are introduced to the game they break character. The school trouble-makers turn into sympathetic, sad, love sick, romantic victims. It was like a bunch of bikers are thrown into prison and suddenly become cute puppy dogs who are just misunderstood. Only 3 characters maintain the tough rebellious characteristics that made them a candidate for the Battle Royale.
From the beginning, the story tells you that students have become uncontrollable and immoral and to get rid of the worst of them Battle Royale was created. I think the story teller should've made up a reason why there was a mixture of bad and good kids sent to the Battle Royale Island like "you can't punish the guilty without hurting the innocent" or "there's always collateral damage" or some kids were there by accident. Any excuse would've helped me kick that question out of my head during the movie because clearly most of the students didn't deserve to be there.
Description of Battle Royale 2 Revenge Uncut SE

Before Kinji Fukasaku passed away he vowed to spend the last of his days working on the sequel to 2000's Battle Royale. Despite his illness, Kinji turned down 24 hour medical assistance in favour of finishing as much as he could, knowing that no amount of treatment could help him at his terminal stage. When he passed away the directing reigns were handed down to his son, Kenta who finally presented an eagerly awaiting world with Battle Royale II. Part II takes place three years after the events of the original BR program and sees survivor Nanahara taking charge of anti-state organisation terrorist outfit: "The Wild Seven". His organisation has declared war on the adults who previously forced school kids to engage in war under the BR regime. The government finds itself in a desperate situation and passes a new anti-terrorism act called Battle Royale II. The class 3-B of Shikanotoride high school are taking a school trip by bus and upon waking up they find themselves wearing metal collars and taken by a military outfit to a secret location. Here they meet their sensei, Riki Takeuchi who tells them that they have three days to hunt down and kill Nanahara or face a certain death by his hands. Given soldier's uniforms and machine guns they are soon sent out to the island where Nanahara and his group are hiding. The fight for survival begins once more.Asian Cinema DVDs
