Battle Royale II: Requiem

Three years after the events of the first film, a new B class is randomly selected to partake in Battle Royale II. After the students are told the rules it's time to begin the game, only this time instead of hunting each other, the students now must find and kill, "The Wild Seven" a group of teenage terrorists run by Shuya Nanahara, the survivor of the BR three years ago. Shuya created the Wild Seven to rebel against not only BR, but all adults in the world, also started doing terrorists attacks on cities killing adults, but soon he wants to do the whole world. Soon after the students arrive at a new island, The Wild Seven go to war against the new class of BR II.


This film wasn't all that bad, it wasn't as good as the first one, but I still saw it as a worthy sequel, even a few people from the first film came back to reprise there role, which was nice seeing.



Story was, so-so. Yet it was good enough that it kept my attention for the 2hr run time. The entire basis of the first time ( in the sequel) was completely changed. Now the students must work in pairs, i.e, Boy 1 is paired with Girl 2, if Boy 1 dies, Girl 2 automatically dies, if Boy 1 go more than 50 meters away from Girl 1, they die. Also the students aren't just given random weapons that suit who they are, now there given army weapons, bullet proof jackets, ect..

Soundtrack was kind of dull throughout the film, the main song they played in the first film, was also played in this sequel, not bad, but not so original. But none the less the songs played still suited the scenes. Acting was also "OK", some of the actors were very good, mainly the ones who came back to reprise the role, and most of the new cast were good as-well. A couple of actors in it (which you'll see instantly) were a little over the top, whoa, tune it down. But if you could ignore it like I kind of did, it wasn't all that bad.

Overall, this film did an OK job at keeping a good story with enough twists and explosions to satisfy me, although it wasn't as good. If you must see this one, I'd say rent it, rather than buy.

I give, Battle Royale II: Requiem. _-6/10-_
