Went to catch this movie today with Desmond and Edmund Shi. Gonna try something new today. A movie review! I am also actually looking for an excuse to blog. Been a long time since I posted something up here. So here is the review.
Death Note:
One word. Very smart. Alright. That was two. But that is beside the point. I would say I throughly enjoyed the show. A little more about the movie first. I myself have not read the manga or watched the anime. So I have no idea what the show was about in the first place. All I knew was that the show is about a God, rather a Death God, who felt bored and decided to drop his note book down into the human world. And thus the title of this movie, Death Note.
This notebook was apparently picked up by a genius and he subsequently discovered the power within the book, which was that when a person's name is written in the notebook, the person will die 40 seconds later. So this genius decided to use this book to end all crimes in the world by killing criminals. Soon, the International Cosmopolitan Police Organization (ICPO) is aware of the sudden massacre of criminals and took action to investigate.
ICPO feeling helpless in the current situation, decided to seek help from a world renowed detective, L. So the whole story continues on to talk about how L uses various ways to hunt down the owner of the death note, Kira.
That is basically about it.
As for the movie, the direction and dialogue is superb! The suspense and thrill is also great! It always keeps you on your toes as to what is going to happen next. Be prepared to expect the unexpected. This witty and smart show is a must watch for all Kindaichi lovers. The sounds isn't that great though. Maybe it is because of the lousy cenima's speakers.
All in all, I give this movie 4 out of 5 stars!
Do watch this movie. It is good!
