but I watched both back to back, and want to post a comparative review.


I've skimmed through the rest of your post, but want to say there's a shit ton of stuff in the HG book(s) that just doesn't come across in the movie. Having read both the Hunger Games and Battle Royale, my opinion is that the similarities are superficial at best.

I thought the movie was alright. I thought the books were excellent.
It's all my fault...

What issues exactly did Hunger Games not address that it should have? Tom - 23/04/2012 04:46:34 PM 1071 Views

I did not necessarily take the strict dichotomy of poor = good and rich = bad from the film... ironclad - 24/04/2012 08:22:59 AM 1253 Views
Agree with all of this as well. *NM* Legolas - 23/04/2012 10:07:21 PM 513 Views
That premise is the equivalent of public domain - it's so unoriginal you can't call plagiarism Cannoli - 23/04/2012 03:40:26 PM 1264 Views
You're such a fucking idiot. *NM* Tom - 23/04/2012 04:22:47 PM 568 Views

In this case, the suggestion is justified (at least with the books) Werthead - 23/04/2012 06:03:08 PM 1129 Views
Superiority is not evidence of plagiarism (and arguably more evident of the opposite) Cannoli - 23/04/2012 07:15:35 PM 1021 Views
indeed..think of the suits that could run rampant throughout sci-fi/fantasy if that was the case! *NM* LadyLorraine - 23/04/2012 09:23:37 PM 585 Views
Oh, I don't believe she plagiarised it. Werthead - 23/04/2012 10:16:34 PM 1109 Views
Is it really fair to compare the two books of BR to the first book of THG alone? LadyLorraine - 23/04/2012 09:22:18 PM 1102 Views
There's only one BATTLE ROYALE novel. Werthead - 23/04/2012 10:18:27 PM 1033 Views
AH okay. I couldn't quite understand what you were saying. Thank you for clarifying. *NM* LadyLorraine - 23/04/2012 10:47:48 PM 580 Views
