Sorry, this movie sucks

Memorable, crazy movie

Instant Favorite.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

I saw the American version and then I saw this version. I did not like the American one, but I like it less. This does not raise or the moral issues raised by the American. This one has a worse script, gives things for known and explains very badly others like the rules. Also towards the end begins to explain everything that happens with what bores.It's a movie with a very Japanese tempo, everything is slow, the actors respond slowly and that makes the movie desperate.He has no tension at any time. It has no intrigue, there is no fear. In this case the monster is worse done, or at least 3d is worse.Photography does not seem to exist. They make a movie for television. A light that is not of this type of films, is too white.The director does not know how to have the camera or in any way. He bores too much and does not know how to create tension.If you removed half of the characters, nothing would happen.

I really enjoyed this movie. There were some slight differences between the movie and the anime, like Raye's last name, where Light finds the Death Note, and not using Near or Mello (which could be understood if they didn't want to make another sequel). The English Dub of this movie is the original cast in the anime, which I really liked and got use to the voices from the anime. They picked great actors and the effects were good. Mastuda in the English Dub is my favorite, he's hilarious. I love how every scene with L, he's always eating candy or something sugary. Plus it was really cool how they used computer effects to make Ryuk come alive as a Shinigami. Overall, this movie is great with bringing us into the life of Light and L in their battle for justice. Besides some differences, the movie comes close to being similar to the anime and the manga. So for those who liked the anime, you'll enjoy the Death Note movie as well.

A live-action adaptation of the anime/manga 'Death Note' is not something too far-fetched. Unlike 'Dragon Ball' or 'Saint Seiya', 'Death Note' is not flashy or fight-based, being much easier to be re-enacted with real people instead of drawn ones.The story follows Light Yagami, a genius teenager who finds a Death Note: a notebook used by Shinigamis ('death gods') with the power to kill people whose name are written on it. Deciding to use the book to kill all criminals in the world and create an utopia, he ends up at odds with L, the world's greatest detective, who is tasked with finding the 'Kira' and bring him to justice.The premise is rather strange and might sound silly, but it actually develops smartly and creates many thought-provoking points for reflexion. The anime/manga is possibly one of the best ones out there, and the confrontations between Light's and L's views create a splendid philosophical discussion on the nature of good/evil. Is Light right to kill others like he is doing? To have such a power over others lives, how easy is it to cross the line of good and evil? Is there such a line at all? This film covers the first half of the story. As such, it is obviously convoluted and some of the side-plots are changed/discarded so as to keep the story's flow. The actors are good; in special, Ken'ichi Matsuyama is brilliant as L and manages to copy his mannerisms with perfection. Tatsuya Fujiwara also makes a worthwhile Light. Ryuuk, the Shinigami who gives Light the Death Note, is also present through a good use of special effects. The soundtrack is good at times too.This is definitely worth a look for 'Death Note' fans, and possibly even for those with no previous knowledge. There are some deviations from the original story, true, but nothing that hinders the quality. A nice touch was having Light read 'Beyond Good and Evil' in one scene, a perfect choice for him.

Death Note A something about Japanese which I don't know. But as far as I could understand not on the basis the actors themselves, but the concept; its good. Its akin to The Matrix, with such vivid thought behind the story and the detailing of the concept of Death Note. Though at one level it is merely a fiction ( or maybe not :P), but the story holds really good and makes sense. The good thing about fiction outside India is that it is seen for its logical coherence. So in these respects, it good. The actors, especially Light Yagami, L and the father of the protagonist have played their characters really well. The way they were directed has to be attributed to their acting also. The concept in the mind of the director would also be a part of this film. Not to put too much mind, the demerits are that it could be a bit confusing to some who are interested to follow it. It adds up well for the movie lover. The soundtrack, I guess is worth a listen since the movie got really great sounds amidst all the suspense. ON the whole, it's a film worth watch! But I would advise you not to put your mind into it but hang onto your seats. The problem is that you would certainly be forced to see the next part. Not revealing, the story because its worth a watch. Actually reflecting back, the story line is really simple, but it's the execution. This again comes back to the point that, story need not be really complex for it to gel well, but it needs to be told really nicely. I give it a 7 on 10, the points missed are just the fiction being stretched too far with the concept.
