Battle Royale II was never going to surpass, or even equal the quality of the first BR and I didn't expect it to. That being said, the movie drags on far too long and some areas, particularly the middle section comprising of trite and borderline intelligence insulting 'social commentary' and so forth. If I wanted to watch a movie on terrorism and the evils of Amerikkka, this is not the resource I expect to get that from. and the drawn out ending. The movie would have left a more positive mark on me had the middle drivel been cut out and the ending dropped in favour of the scene of the remaining two running up the stairs and blasting their way out into the light. Pros: Sections of fast paced action, Kitano cameo, firepower. Cons: Retarded and narrow-sighted 'social commentary', Shuya overacting, very hard tdentify with any of the kids. Rated: 3/5 - Worth a rental, not a purchase.
