So, the first film had only the original idea (a bunch of people killing each other to survive), and nothing else was good.This film, has totally nothing good to offer. It has absolutely no meaning at all.They arm a class of low profile criminal teenagers to go and kill the "terrorist" group which is formed by the previous two winners and some other teenagers. 1) How did they expect a bunch of teens to know anything about military guns and tactics? No sense.2)If the "terrorists" were so dangerous, why didn't the military kill them until then? They were just a few angry teens with guns... No big deal for an armies Special Forces right?3)Why on earth would the terrorist hide in an island? The air force could kill them in a matter of seconds if they bomb the island4)Why do they need to put them in pairs? They need those "terrorists" killed so they said "Oh lets put them in pairs so if one gets killed, the other dies as well... They will sure kill the enemy this way yeah!"Save yourselves time, and do not watch this movie.

This is a monumental, immaculately well crafted movie, but not one to be undertaken lightly. The picture's extended running time isn't the reason, as the film is captivating from start to finish. Rather, this is an emotionally draining and powerfully affecting story, and one whose characters will dwell ghostly in your psyche. A lot of talent is required to earn a title like "Battle Royale II," and the team behind director Kenta Fukasaku simply nailed it. Everything about this film was exquisite, and its screenplay is one of deepest running and most unforgettable I've experienced. This is a story about the weight of virtue in a time of war. It is a story about the power of love - even hopeless love - to carry people through impossible hardship. Finally, and as its title alludes, this is a story about what makes men human, and how war transforms them into animals. Riki Takuichi (e.g. "Sword of Doom," "The Big Gundown," etc.) puts in the performance of a lifetime, and the cast is overflowing with familiar faces and memorable characters. Some of the scenes are riveting beyond belief, and the film's 6-part structure allows it to be watched in manageable installments. By any measure, this is one of the great Japanese movies, and one of the deepest war pictures I've seen. One of my 50 favorite films.

I made the mistake of listening to the low rating reviews and put this movie off. I will never make that mistake of taking someone elses word over my own. Those who watch BR1 and then came to see BR2 were disappointed because they wanted to see the same movie twice. Why does BR1 need to be repeated in a sequel? Just watch the first one if you want to see the same thing again. BR1 had a message and BR2 stays on that same track with it's message. It's about the children that grow up living in a war they never started. Children that become victims because of the cold actions of adults. This is a movie that's exaggerated but the message is real. This is loosely based around 9- 11 and America going into Afghanistan and the cause,effect, and burden people have to carry because of their actions. When you think about the messages in this movie it's true. War does steal the smiles of children. I think this movie went over a lot of peoples heads because you either saw a war flick, a rant about USA, or a movie that wasn't battle royal.

It's on my mind the most brilliant representative of films, in which awesome first part and the second did not have to do it at all than make such a mess. Discouragement from the first to the last seconds. I am very sorry for my time spent Started watching eagerly second part immediately after watching the first, it is really a blow to all counts. From the very beginning the film is very tedious, but still there is hope that the story will begin to develop yet somehow. By the middle there is a great desire to turn off this stuff and never to forget about it. Sorry for the spelling, but you need to warn people about what it is not worthy to steal their precious time (which is priceless)
