The Worst Film Ever
Don't listen to the negative reviews
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
The acting in this movie is really good.
After first film's unexpected finale, this one continues adopting the manga storyline while adding some minor original twists, leading to a completely changed and, in my opinion, improved ending.Although bad visual effects and mediocre acting might turn some people off. If you can look past that, and if you weren't satisfied with the original manga ending, this might be just what you are looking for.
The story in "Death Note: The Last Name" (aka "Desu nôto: The last name") was better than the first movie and it did a good job as a sequel. But not only because of the story, but also because it was just better directed.Ryuk was also better animated and given more of a personality in this movie. And compared to the second God of Death then Ryuk was far superior in both design and personality.It was good to see the L character as more of a focal point to the story, and the Misa Amane character added a lot of flavor to the movie and the story in general."Death Note: The Last Name" was carried by the performances of Ken'ichi Matsuyama (playing L) and Erika Toda (playing Misa), while Tatsuya Fujiwara (playing Light) still had the charisma of drywall."Death Note: The Last Name" is a story- and character-driven movie and it far surpasses the first "Death Note" movie in every aspect. However, you should still watch part one first to fully understand what is going on in part two.As I haven't read the Manga or seen the animation, then I am not sure how much of the movies stay true to the source of origin. But as such, I can still say that the live action movies are good entertainment.
Death Note: The Last Name is the sequel to Death Note, an anime adaptation. However, does Death Note: The Last Name follow in Death Note's footsteps or should this movie be in the Death Note? The story is very good and continues on from where the first movie left off, the characters are brilliantly written and the acting was great as well. The scenes were brilliantly executed and the CGI was also very good, especially for the Shinigamis (Death Gods who own the Death Note). I thought that Tatsuya Fujiwara did great as Light but Kenichi Matsuyama stole the movie as L, who acted and behaved exactly how the character in the anime did so it was nice to see the movie stay faithful to the series in some ways. The writing was very good and the dialogue was great too. All in all, it's like the anime series with some welcoming changes.I enjoyed this sequel, I thought that it wasn't going to be as good as the first movie but I would say that it was on the same level, if not, better. The story basically continued on and it managed to keep the balance of the characters and their stories and how they all interact with each other. The acting was very good and I think the CGI was great. The designs for Ryuk and Remi were brilliant and they haven't changed them from the series (well, except for the fact that they're in 3D). I think that, even though they have made big changes from the Death Note story, they've pulled it off and they've done a good job making the story into two movies. This movie is great, it has everything you liked about the first movie in this and more. If you like Death Note, you'll be happy with this.Read more reviews at: www.dudedazzmoviereviews.wordpress.com
This worthless piece of garbage is an absolute embarrassment and shame to the amazing anime series. They change so much that it may as well not be called death note, and the cinematography/effects are worse than the acting. These live action adaptations are simply horrid, and it boggles my mind how this has a rating beyond 2/10 overall. I can only assume that a bunch of 10 year old's who've never seen the anime voted 10 a bunch of time.Do not waste your precious time watching this terrible live action adaptation of a GREAT anime series. Ironically, this movie does not do justice to the series at all, and in fact, tarnishes its name and may be considered evil by some.
