Just saw it last night. As a film major I could say that I was impressed with the technical aspects (art direction, cinematography and sound mixing was well done). As well, the acting was above par (Jennifer Lawrence always steals the light as the best 
). This definitely a film worth seeing.
But few have actually seen Battle Royale. A film similar to the Hunger Games in which teenagers are on an island and have to fight to the death. Battle Royale is the film that made it possible for the Hunger Games to be successful. On an extremely low budget (by today and then standards) and being able to make it past the Japanese government (despite its harsh topic) gave it its cult status.
I would have to say both films are good in their own ways but I would have to say that Battle Royale is the better. The Hunger Games is PG-13 and Battle Royale is R-15. Hope you'll watch both.
