Movie Reviews of Death Note (Live Action)
Movie Review: What Would You Do With The Power Of The Death NoteBook
Summary: 5 Stars
This live action movie follows the series pretty decently as far as I'm concerned especially for the actors they got to play the character of Light Yagami(Also Kira) and the mythical detective L. Like the beginning of the series Light has what most would consider worthwhile intentions punishing the truly guilty and wicked of the world but as the saying goes absolute power corrupts absolutely. The way Light later kills some innocent people later in the movie shows that he's not above abusing the note book for his own gains and in turn is no longer a champion of justice but just a serial killer with a megalomaniac mentality. Then you have the police working in conjunction with L to stop Kira and his agendas as well as bring him to justice. The movie is what you expect if you seen the series and even if you have never seen the series the movie still gives you the beginning pretty well so you can follow whats happening easily. If you want to hear it dubbed they got all the voice actors from the series to do this movie as well so no worries on that part. So if you like the series you'll definitely like the movie as well. All I'm waiting for now is to get the second movie when it comes on dvd.Movie Review: Just. Plain. WOW!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a huge fan of both the anime and the manga (It's my current obsession) so when I got the chance to go see the movie in theaters, I was ecstatic. I'll admit, the dubbing looked a bit...goofy, but that didn't change the fact that it was just as awesome as the Manga/Anime. Truth me told, I was recovering from eye surgery when I went to see it, so the fact that it was dubbed was a blessing, since it meant I didn't have to try and read subtitle. Another bonus was getting to hear L's wonderful dub voice while seeing the adorable L in the movie. XD
On a serious note, I hope hey release "Last Name" and "LChange The World" as well. I've only seen "Death Note", and really want to see the other two.
I recommend this DVD for any fan of Death Note, or anyone who enjoys a good psychological suspense movie. It realy makes you think! And if you don't want to watch the dub, there's this magical setting called 'subtitles' that lets you watch the Japanese voices, with English voices. Don't decide against it until you've tried it, at least.
Movie Review: Magnificent!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just watched this in the theater as part of its (very) limited May '08 US theatrical release, and it was simply magnificent! There were a few slightly quirky or off-beat directorial choices, and somewhat rudimentary special effects; but overall, I found it exceptionally entertaining.
The premise is very clever, and the one-upsmanship of the plot twists are simply brilliant. Of course, I think the real appeal of a story like this is that there are actually TWO protagonists in fierce conflict with one other - a rare and difficult literary feat. On the side of the law, we have a neutral (perhaps even slightly evil) hero, known only as "L." Opposite L, we have "Kira," a chaotic anti-hero with a deeply twisted sense of justice. It's that highly satisfying kind of narrative that invites you to root for either or both side at the same time, depending on the color of your soul.
The roller coaster ride that unfolds - both in the movie itself and the depths of your own conscience - is a thrill ride not to be missed.
Movie Review: A delightful introduction to the Death Note phenomenon
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first heard of Death Note, I had no real idea what it was about. Then this movie came out, and I saw it at the urging of my mother, slightly more familiar with it than I was.
After several viewings and becoming more familiar with it, I fell in love with Fujiwara Tatsuya's Light, and Matsuyama Ken'ichi's L. Ryuk was a wonderful CGI animation job, and the movie overall was a pleasant take on the Death Note manga/anime canon, not that I object especially to the changes, as I feel it kept rather faithful to the spirit of the series.
I could see why some people would rather have it dubbed than subtitled, but for my two cents, I find subtitles easier (I'm a fast reader), and it's less distracting if the voices aren't out of synch with the mouth movements, not to mention the tones of the actors voices, I think, is preferable if one wanted to get a feeling for the characters.
All in all, this is a must-have for any Death Note fan who doesn't mind a little twist to their canon, and also enjoys live-action movies, too.
Movie Review: LOVED IT ,REAL GOOD ,CLEVER COMIC MOVIE & GREAT SHOT!
Summary: 5 Stars
loved this it completely captivates you once you start watching this it just totally pulls you in. This is a great game of wits between two antagonists. What would you do? This question has been asked if you had the power. Well you know what has been said that complete power corrupts completely. I have seen most of the anime series on Adult Swim I was happy to see that they used the same English voice actors from the anime for the English language dub. They did compress this a bit but it plays out well with Death Note II the Last Name as a part II this really had too much to it to put it in just one movie I would suggest that you get both films at the same time for a complete viewing experience. Well you know what I thought I highly recommend this to any and everyone this really is a great film ,buy it rent it whatver,U have to see this!
I just bought this after i watching this Masterpiece for my collection to Keep for sure! A
