Note de Inakaguy
I remembered watching this movie when I was younger and it affecting me a lot. Well, I re-watched it recently and it has lost none of it's power.
The acting in the movie is adequate without ever being great (the notable exception being Tom Conti who is fantastic in his role as the misunderstood titular character).
However, the movie moves beyond the acting and once you are embroiled in the atmosphere and realism you become oblivious to any acting shortcomings.
The movie must be one of the most accurate depictions of human nature in a war. It has a diverse range of characters yet none of them becomes a caricature. It certainly doesn't sink into the good vs evil mindset that many war movies do.
The violence is graphic and shocking despite lacking the visceral realism of Spielberg's later war movies.
The ending of the movie still affects me, even after repeated viewings. I still have to a lump or two to stop from crying even now.
Overall, recommended for anyone with an interest in a non-stereotypical movie about war. Not for the faint of heart though.

After loving the first battle royale, I was extremely disappointed in this and struggled to make it through the whole movie.
Most of the faults have already been pointed out. The acting (not really a feature of even the first film) is laughable. Fujiwara, who was well cast as the naive Shuya in the first film, looks totally out of place as a hard bitten terrorist/freedom fighter.
The rugby coach was one of the worst actors I have ever seen, hardly a suitable replacement for Kitano.
The direction is full of choppy cuts, meant to convey a sense of fast paced action but effectively just turns the movie into a bloody mess.
Obviously the movie wasn't helped by the untimely demise of the director. Avoid this one and watch the first instead.

Definitely the weakest of the original trilogy, this movie is similar to the two "prequels" in that it reads like a checklist.
GL: What was the most memorable scene in Star Wars? The space battle over the death star? Okay, let's make a new Death Star and have a space battle over it. Check.
GL: What was the most memorable scene in Empire? Vader's revelation? Okay, let's make another revelation about Luke's family. Check
Empire was a great movie because it took Star Wars in a totally different direction and provided a totally different tone. Jedi is the weakest because it is a rehash of all the things that made the first movies a success, with none of its own flavour.
Oh, and also because it had Ewoks in it. Damn them!
