I guess most people were waiting for a live action popcorn movie with a lot of gore in it. Is that what you mean by "for the kids"? A movie doesn't need blood to be brutal. Waited more then one year and... it was even better then i hoped. Also, people just keep comparing it to Battle Royal ( one of my favorite movies; a masterpiece ) ... also wrong. 8/10.
A not so bad a movie. Guess it was targeted at the kids and only they can be fully satisfied with it. It was alright to watch, but not as much fun as all the hype seemed to be.
so-so movie, if you are easily impressed then go ahead but asnt half as good as people made out. felt like a Gok-Wan does Gladiators tv show at times.
Actually OK. But seemed like something was missing. Quite enjoyably though despite the picture quality was bad in the cinema and kinda poor/fast filming once in a while.
Haven't read it, loved the movie.
I haven't read the book, though I enjoyed the movie! I loved every bit of it. As many others, I look forward to the sequels. :)
Koying describes it well. I wouldn't have liked it at ALL if I had not seen the books. I only enjoyed seeing how they decided to adopt it, and I didn't care for that. The cinematography consisted of a camera bouncing around a lot which most of the time was just annoying. They left out some rather important elements out of character development and didn't tie things together very well.
Great thriller
Don't bother if you haven't read the books. I hadn't and it's a VERY bad movie on its own.
I haven't read the books, nor even heard of them but I can say I thoroughly enjoyed watching this...looking forward to the sequels.
The books were awesome, can't wait to see the movie tomorrow!
The book was amazing! Looking forward to watch the movie.
Dyin' to see this movie˜!

I'm suprised how anybody who hasn't read the books can enjoy this film. It must be so hollow if you can't flesh it out yourself (lack of world building, no ending, underdeveloped everything).
Major annoyance plus for the choice of shaky cam from second one...
