This is exactly what I'm talking about, you don't think Battle Royale will compare to *this*!? This is a PG13 movie about kids killing each other, that hasn't even been released yet, and you're SOOO sure that it's going to be better than Battle Royale, a movie that has been out for well over ten years now and retains a *7.9* on the Internet Movie Database. Your speculation is a joke people. Unless you mean that they are not comparable - literally, which - there's a pretty transparent flaw there, in that the premise for both is the same. The problem I have with all of you people is that you speak like you're psychic. I"m going to reserve my judgement, but seeing as how it's PG13, it's hard to imagine it will have the kind of edge a story like this would usually have by default.

I'm pretty sure they dropped "of Mars" because they aren't f--king on Mars! First of all, the planet isn't *red*, Mars is freezing, and he's freaking naked, and the gravity is *heavier* (not like the moon). I'm pretty sure if this is Mars the dude should be a basketball playing mountain climber because his abilities would suit those two professions rather well. - Or you know, just a superhero. Look, I know there are aspects of the books here that I'm probably unaware of. But lets face it anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of Mars is going to have trouble (possibly) suspending their disbelief if it's set there, (we know about Mars) and it doesn't have to be set there! The aliens in Spielbergs "War of the Worlds" didn't come from there either! So in a way - at this point - if it is set on Mars, that's just silly.

Are we doing Hunger Games vs. Battle Royale now? Because I'm pretty sure no matter what side you're on, you're going to lose. I don't know much about the Hunger Games, but only an idiot would talk crap about Battle Royale on *any level* - given the premise, and it's obvious success if they're a fan of the Hunger Games. - Especially if they did 'love' it. And no one should be pretending they know anything about this movie before they've seen it. So if you want to consider Battle Royale a 'real movie' what the hell is this? Oh that's right, you haven't seen it! You guys should be ashamed of yourselves... IMO. You've initiated the most predictable argument since the release of the first book in the series.

Your comment is 'enormously unoriginal'. There is no original idea in narrative media. Just saying... I know I might catch some heat from his loyal fanbase, but this might be the only Statham movie I've ever been excited about seeing. If the acting isn't as rigid as it looks (in places) it could be a really strong movie. But the whole 'New York' underworld thing *is* way overplayed. You'd think crime was never committed anywhere else except for L.A. and an occasionally ultra dilapidated Detroit.
