It’s been a while since I finished Death Note the live action movie, and I don’t think I’ve told Quiaps and Choco up to now. Anyway, since the Part 2 DVD was so messed up, I reread and finished the manga (thanks to K-chan =3 ) before going back to the DVD. For a quick follow up update, I hope my memory didn’t fail me too much.
So…what can I say?
…On the acting, L rOcKs!!! XD He did good! (I wanna watch the spin off movie!)
So…what can I say?
…On the acting, L rOcKs!!! XD He did good! (I wanna watch the spin off movie!)...Raito’s actor was a bit tame? He did okay but I felt like a bit more intimidation would’ve been better. I found Misa less annoying that how she was portrayed in the manga.
…I like how they revised the story about L’s death—and how he died, basically. (Great, Choco would probably hate to continue the movie now…)
…Surprisingly, as most people preferred the movie than the manga, I wasn’t as biased towards the movie. It wasn’t bad and as it is, it’s good enough to give a newbie an overview of DN. But it wasn’t enough to favor the manga less. The manga wasn’t the best but I just found the introduction of the new characters and L’s successor interesting.
All in all, it was a good movie, despite the absence and/or literal translation of the subtitles for Part 2. Although I won’t be watching it again or reading the manga again anytime soon, otherwise, I won’t stop talking to myself on the many possibilities of L and Raito’s cognitive battles.

Hehe, I do wonder does knowing the story minimizes the joy of watching the movie since you already know what is going to happen except for the second part?
The anime seems to be like that for me though DN anime is better executed..the music, etc but then, I'm not in the mood to watch it knowing how it will end. Especially now, how not so impressed people with the ending. They didn't put in that 'cult' thing scene though I think they will have a tv special of it.
Also, it is hard to root for Raito near the end after all the deaths happening left and right. hehe
darn, jen! i don't know whether to curse you or thank you for mentioning L's death. now i don't know whether not to watch it 'coz he died anyway (may issue yata talaga ako about characters dying) or watch it so i'd specifically know how he died (masochist!hehe)!

and oh, i am such a loser! i haven't seen any film since we 3 last went out but i haven't been able to study either! the bloody weather changes really got the better of me, was absent for almost a week.
hope you're doing well!
c u when i c u! :)
-> KAT: I guess it's personal preference. As you know, I actually wasted time watching Cinepuri and the anime version when I get the chance before. And I still read the manga--and even that's heavily cracked! LOL! But with real life eyecandies, it's all good ;)
-> CHOCO: Same here--CINELOSERS RULE!!! ^_^ I just plan to buy DVDs of the movies I missed. It wouldn't hurt even if I didn't see it at the big screen because I was desensitized already when I missed 300 in the theaters and just settled with DVD. Hehehe. ; )
