Tetrady not as good as all the hype

Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

lewiskendell "Kira is justice."If you liked the first Death Note movie, you'll like this one, too. Another god of death, a second death note, a new Kira (or, perhaps two new Kira's), and the two geniuses, Light and L, working together as both allies and enemies. I'd say that the first movie was a little more clever, but this one adds some interesting new characters. There really aren't many better manga or anime to live-action movie adaptations, in my opinion. The Last Name is a smart mix of investigation, subterfuge and the supernatural, wrapped around an interesting premise. I fully recommend this dark, well-acted (looooove Erika Toda) sequel (as well as the first movie). I was a little disappointed with how it ended, but that's purely because of the characters I was rooting for.

CountZero313 Death Note II picks up right where the first installment left off, with Light and L locked together in partnership. Only a new notebook and shinigami appears, bringing Kira II into the equation, complicating matters for Light while providing him with a means to overcome L.This film betters the first film by offering more twists and superior plotting. Erika Toda as Misa Amane nails the shallow pop idol role, while providing ample comic fodder to divert us from the mind games. Shunji Fujimura as Watari ups his game here. Light has to face the consequences of his actions and the questionable nature of some of his choices. Ken'ichi Matsuyama shines again as the idiosyncratic L. There are more laughs, more questions, more surprises, and a satisfying climax this time round. No one in their right mind will watch this before watching the first, and if you liked the first you'll want to watch this. Rest assured, it does not disappoint.

hdhcst95 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.

belenus84 Just so you know, the title is "Death Note", not "Desu Noto". "Desu Noto" doesn't even translate to "Death Note" in Japanese. I don't know where this misconception comes from but it gets annoying to constantly see. Are you trying to sound like you're Japanese by pronouncing "Death Note" in the broken-English Japanese accent? If so, thats racist!As for a review, the movie is a great adaption from the Anime. The only thing that made me a bit sad about this movie is that there's no Near or Mello. I understand it would have been hard to include their arc but still saddens me. Overall its worth a watch if you enjoyed the anime. It's just not as heated as the manga/anime.
