Just what the world needed - a watered down Battle Royale rip-off. Tweens will love this to no end.

The advertising campaign is so annoying.

Reminded me of Battle Royale and The Running Man as well.

There's no problem, just saying I felt the the premise is similar (kids killing each other for Government purposes, reality TV etc

).
I quite enjoyed the film BTW

The film has been well received by critics... but I've noticed a number of fan complaints about the 'shaky cam' style.

I can't just bring myself to watch this, the same reason I avoided Twilight.

Planned for Release on DVD/BD with a 15 cert - presumably with the 20s of cuts/changes added back in by the BBFC:

Nice!

It's nothing like Twilight bradavon.
