Why compare those two movies?

Suzanne Collins was suspected of plagiarism by many people, myself

included.

Don’t you love blood-thirsty gory movies of teens killing each other survivor style?

Both are awesome to read (books) or to watch (movies)

Battle Vs Hunger Royale Games

The Hunger Games Episode 2: Catching Fire is in theatre now.

Battle Royale can be rented on Netflix. First Episode is the best of the three.

Watch both series of movies to make the judgments yourself. Which one is better?

Which one is more original?
