This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The first must-see film of the year.

What happened?! Admittedly I did like this one better than the first one but not by much. WHERE WERE NEAR AND MELLO???!!! YOU CAN'T JUST GO AND IGNORE TWO FANTASTIC CHARACTERS LIKE THAT!!!!! Not to mention people like Higuchi and Mikami! They totally missed out brilliant characters and plot points just so they could squeeze it into 2 movies. They didn't even do justice to the ones they were nice enough not to cut out. Takada was terrible, I love her plot point in the anime and to change her into an even more annoying version of Higuchi was an awful decision. All they did with the ending was add in the 'skye you didn't kill me lolzor' to the original and give all of Nears lines to L. Ugh! People say that the plot is confusing but as long as you've seen the anime or watch it with someone who has you should be fine as they barely change the main idea. I still have the problem of them dumbing down the characters and making them idiots even when they are meant to be a super genius. No character development and you don't care about anyone. Overall a terrible movie.

Taking place after the events of the first movie Light joins the task force headed by L and a new Kira emerges. Running at over 2 hours the suspense never lets up and is a satisfying conclusion to the live action death note movies. As with the last movie the performances and direction are excellent as with newcomer Erika Toda who stole the screen as Misa Amane and Kenichi Mastuyama as L. The rest of the series was adapted into the live action version and much of the final part of the original series was cut out leaving the movie to head off in its own direction whilst staying true to the manga/anime. Fans of Death Note might like this live action ending better since its much more unexpected and satisfying unlike the anime version.

Having seen the spin-off Death Note L:Change The World I was afraid by turning this into the DVD player. It started in a good manner but after a while the boring L was back in business. He just couldn't convince me. It's strange that I heard that fans were yelling towards the screen when he moves a bit or was eating something. For me it was all too much of blah blah. It clocks in over 2 hours and nothing really happens. The acting was okay and the ghosts were convincing too but the story line didn't work out for me. But someone told me if you aren't into the anime series that these flicks aren't your cup of tea. I like tea but not this taste.

This film has it's flaws. What I liked most about this film is that it gave you a different ending then the anime. The beginning of this film follows the anime pretty well minus some action, and some characters and their sexes were changed. What bugged me though was how careless Light was. He seemed so much more insane yet dumber then in the anime. Honestly the story could of been much better then it was but still it was an interesting take on the story. The acting wasn't very good. The only believable characters in comparison to the anime were Mr. Yagami and L. L was a real joy to watch in live action. If all else see this movie just to see him and how eccentric he really is. So if you like seeing all angles of a story then this is a good movie to see. The different ending makes it worth watching.
