DVD Reviews of Death Note (The Live Action Movie) DVD
DVD Review: Not even based on the Anime Series
Summary: 1 Stars
Okay, first of all this movie does not deserve a five star. Has anyone who gave it a five star actually seen the anime series? There are so much more in depth and the movie doesn't even follow it, it is horrilbe compared to the anime series. Seriously if you gave this movie a five star, then I believe you should watch the anime series. You will be more entertained, I assure you. The movie was too fast paced and did not explain anything really well. The anime series does, however.DVD Review: For Any Fan
Summary: 5 Stars
Though definitely not as suspenseful as the manga, this movie has it's highlights. Kenichi Matsuyama steals it all in his portrayal of the quirky detective, L. And though the CGI is a little tough to take, on the whole the movie is easy to watch.
Most importantly, it does justice to the original series, unlike many live action remakes.
The DVD sound and image quality are excellent, so if you're a fan of Death Note, this is a must.
DVD Review: A Must Have for any fan of the manga and anime series.
Summary: 4 Stars
The Live action version of Death Note definitely shows the side of Light Yagami they couldn't show on the anime series. Having Light as a college student was a much better choice than what the manga and the anime series had him as a high school which a more creepy scary element to it. This Light is simply sick and tired of the way the Japanese Police Department was treating their criminals and not giving them a much harsher punishment. In this film, you cheer for Light than jeer him like in the series. DVD Review: Not in English
Summary: 3 Stars
This product is listed as Language "English and French" with subtitles in English. It does have subtitles in English, but this movie is in Japanese. You will have to read subtitles. Don't be fooled by the faulty description. The movie is great. We saw it in the theater dubbed in English. We thought we were getting a movie dubbed in English since it said the language was English. DVD Review: Harry Potter to movies, now Death Note to movies
Summary: 5 Stars
I went into this movies somewhat similar to how i went into the Harry Potter films. I went in thinking it would be line for line image for image. And when I got about a third into it i was mistaken. Now I feel that Death Note, the live-action film gave the Manga/Anime the credit it needed. It followed the characters and the basic story line. It also did change some key elements. Such as Raye's wife, and his girlfriend. But in all understanding it made sense. To do this made it more time effective. If you are coming into this movie expecting it to be the anime series with real people, you shall be sadly mistaken the film running at 120 minutes would never be able to cover 37 twenty-two minute episodes in that time frame. thus it was broken up into about 4 hours compressing the story and trying to keep it's key elements.
I have yet to see Death Note: The Last Name, but I hope to soon purchase it and see how they do the rendition for the rest of the story.
