well i can't speak more than greetings and about 50 words past that yet but i will be in my hotel in Shibuya friday by 6 with no plans until Saturday at noon, i may just go see this because i've really been looknig forward to it. And honestly it will make it that much better when i finally get the R2 (assuming it's gonna have Eng subs) because there is nothing like an action movie in on the big screen.AT least until i got a spare 10 grand to build a home theater

Not surprising... the Death Note movie was the #1 movie in Japanese theaters over the weekend. ( according to this site's tracking of box office sales) I wonder if it's as good as the hype makes it seem? Can't wait for a DVD release.
Speaking of DVD releases: how long do Japanese movies usually run in theaters? And how much time is there usually between theatrical debut and DVD release (in Japan)? |

Though I have a feeling the Death Note movie may spread to theaters outside of Japan... (I remember seeing a map of the world in Raito's room when the official site first opened, but you could only look at it close up and there was no info on it yet...) |

And the eyeliner on L in the picture looks really bad...it looks fake and cos-play-ey. They could've atleast made it a bit more natural. T_T |

There is alot I don't like about the live action movie...like how misa has black hair for some reason. I dunno it just doesn't seem like its going to measure up to the manga....The only reason why I am seeing it is to see L...cause he seems like the one most like his character.
Eh...maybe I am just too big of a DN fan...nothing is good enough unless you grab the people from the manga...lol. |

I saw it wednesday and found it quite cool. The shinigami looks great, L too. Light is sort of uninteresting, compared to the manga, but it's OK. Misa is cute anyways. The plot has changed, it got more simple, but I wasn't expecting much from a live action movie, so...
On the whole, I am happy I watched it. Can't wait for what's to come, though I won't be in Japan in November...

To Shuin4, I tink Garten did a good rundown of the movie. U can read his blog at
http://www.designchronicle.com/memento/ Anyway, the plot apparently deviates a bit frm the manga itself. With Raito havin a gf to start with and somehow some of the scenes haf changed compared to the manga. Sorry to say that, as a fan of Raito sama ( L oso - k, i like all genius ), I dun really like the part that they actually portray Raito as someone who is so evil so soon aka plotting his own gf's death. Cos' to me, there shld be a transition of how he turns to the evil side. I dun believe that he is that evil to start with. (juz cos of his incident with the yakuza???) But, i haf to admit that movie as it is, due to certain time constraint, there is not enuff time to depict everything or shld i say "as accordin to the manga". It is still a good movie and all I can hope is a better part 2. Actually, I have higher hope for the anime oso. BTW, sorry to all Fujiwara Tatsuya's fans. But, I m still not able to c him portraying as Raito sama. He, is to me, lacking of certain element such as the "confidence and evil look" |

I've only read the blog linked to above, and I'm quite pleased by what I've read. At the rate they're going, it sounds like the 2nd movie will end about where the manga (imho) went from great to crap. Which must mean they're doing an original ending, and if the ending's good the movies stand a terrific chance of becoming better than the source material.
