How is The Hunger Games: Catching Fire allowed to rip off BATTLE ROYALE 2? Just because they stretched the plot out to three movies and added a Twilight subplot, doesn't make it any different, except for the fact that they casted white people instead of Japanese...

alets face it, this playoff of this movie has been done before. If you have any experience watching Battle Royale 2, produced by Kinji Fukasaku, this movie uses all its layup, and ideas to the fullest, with a mixture with The running man from 1987. Battle Royale 2 though, is much more deeper and philosophical about the ideas that this movie tries to touch upon. I do not find this movie unbearable bad, sure it is entertaining, but it lacks originality and just steals ideas which has already been made and does it the Hollywood way, which in the end just come out as a faint copy.
shareBATTLE ROYALE 2 is a silly story about cowardly military officers who kidnap juvenile delinquents and make them go on their dangerous missions to save their own skins. The plot has no resemblance with this movie, except that they both have evil military.
