    I really enjoyed it and prefer it to,what I remember of, Battle Royale.

    I found BR very entertaining and the world they created in it was great, but the motives were less clear. The way Hunger Games brings you into the world of the oppressors was very interesting.

    I think a lot of the negative comparisons with BR are down to glorification of Japanese cinema and the assumption that a US-made film with similar themes to a Japanese movie is simply a ripoff. Hunger Games is very much a "Hollywood Blockbuster" product but I think it was done very well.

    I'm looking forward to the second movie.
