The film had great potential for being a good watch; with it's plot set up as so, however, this movie was a big let down for me. I relatively liked the first Battle Royale, and I was excited when I saw there was a second one, especially since the plot looked pretty good, but it turns out I had just wasted 2 hours of my life.

As mentioned, it had potential to be good, but it was draggy, boring, and somewhat unrealistic with the way people handled being shot (it was the same in the first movie, but I dismissed it). Which brings me to acting.

The acting was ok; the multiple bullets in their chests proving no match as they continued on to do, what I would call, laborious tasks such as dragging another person's body, and shooting some more people while running wildly. So, I guess they're stronger than the average person?


Overall, I don't really have a doubt that this would've been clicked onto my 'dropped' section of the list had I not developed the no-dropping-rule for my list. I even had a text conversation during the movie, if that tells you anything. It didn't keep me entertained for more than 5 minutes at best, the plot turned sour and boring pretty quick, and it just became a hard task to finish out the movie.

As a hardcore Starlight, I watched this movie for one reason: Han Sanghyuk starred in it. So I went into watching the movie thinking to myself, "I wonder how much airtime Hyuk will get, and if watching this will even be worth it." Little did I know that this would end up being one of the best movies I've watched thus far!

The story line was great to begin with; humorous and playful, but it still contained just enough amount of seriousness that kept you interested and in pace with the movie. It never seemed to slow down for too long, or get boring or draggy, which is something I often times encounter while trying to watch something.

The acting was also spectacular from all characters. The antagonist, protagonist, the secondary characters, the high schoolers, everyone fit well in their character and delivered their part well.

The music, although not something I really paid attention to during the movie as I was too captivated watching what the characters were doing, seemed to fit well enough and further enhanced the scene it was placed in.

Overall, I say well done for this production. I could easily watch this again and love it just as much as the first time. :)

As a huge ELF from 2011 onward, I felt compelled to watch this due to the overwhelming amount of characters being cast using Super Junior members. That being said, I watched this movie at the nice age of 15 years old.

The plot line is catchy, even for its more juvenile audience, but it isn't necessarily something I'd find as much interest in, even now at almost the age of 20, in my coming years. It does its job.

The acting I could say was mediocre. The lot of them are primarily K-Pop singers, after all, but they did surprise me in how well, overall, as a composite, the movie turned out to be. Hyun Bin level acting? Of course not, but if you're watching this movie, you're probably not expecting that to begin with.

The music, although a bit biased as I do love the group musically, was good and fit well with the movie and its plot as the scenes progressed.

Overall, the movie is great for light comedy and high school level jokes. A good watch for any K-Pop fans or those who indulge in genres relative to school and dance. :)
