Definitely the best of the sub-genre! Certainly has a Japan feel of film making from the camera cuts and crazy blood gushing scenes. If you like violence in your films and a little humour thrown in as well this is the film for you. Easy to see why it has now become a cult classic.

I alway thought the only way to be eliminated in a Battle Royal is to be thrown over the top rope. But apparently not in this movie.

It is an enjoyable movie and a really great concept. The direction is a tad bit over-the-top in some regards, but I like this significantly more than The Hunger Games

Really overrated. None of the characters have any personality so you don't care if they die and it doesn't push far enough into black comedy to be entertaining in that way. Just a grindingly boring procession of kids clumsily murdering each other. Melodramatic, badly acted with exactly one interesting character. The Hunger Games is better.

The pratoganist is a pacifist who relies on others to kill others in order to survive and this is not even the biggest problem of the movie.

Battle Royale is a controversial and violent parable of adolescence, heightening teenage melodrama with life-or-death stakes.

As a splatter movie, it's passable entertainment (though perhaps not as out and out gory as its reputation), but attempts at a deeper poignancy, and even satiric elements, fail because none of the characters are clearly defined or focussed. The material screams for the Verhoeven touch (and I'd see that for a dollar!) -- the killings themselves are not especially creative or imaginatively executed. Only Kitano as the sinister Sensei makes an impression amongst the cast.

You can see an impression of "Starship Troopers" in the political and sociological examination (even if it's superficially explained) and a clear influence from "The Running Man." This one is a pretty fun movie that will be forever compared to "The Hunger Games" only this one is good, it pulls no punches, and doesn't cater to twelve-year-old girls.
