That's why Japan makes so much anime. Unless it's 1 of the old Zatoichi films, the acting sucks.

*strikes samurai pose*

ZATOICHI!!!

WTF are you guys talking about? The acting was great and the CGI was perfectly fine. Were we watching the same movie? (Just finished watching it)

Although I sort of disagree with the depart from the manga, in the end, it was almost a bit more composed than the second arc of Death Note.

Yeah U guys crazy???

The movie owned. ACting was great, the Shinigami looked so real. The character's were perfect and the way the told the story was ownzors.

But there is a DUB? Or are the one in your Cinema's Sub?

Chibi Mystic Gohan

They dubbed the film with the English anime voice actors.

And the acting was very poor, if you actually know anything about acting. And for the love of God, THOSE HEART ATTACKS.

I watched the Japanese version with subtitles, trust me, it was much better that way. Never, ever watch dubs. As for the heart attacks, they were a little dramatic, but it was fine. Saying something as little as that ruins the movie is being pissy. Like I said, asides the strange ending (which was interesting in itself) it was pretty near perfect.

What was the ending I never finished it?

Well, L and Mr. Yagami set up the ending, Rem killed Watari allowing Misa to escape, than Light wrote down L's name. Unfortunately the notebook he wrote it in was a fake, and so Light got arrested, but he tried to get Ryuk to help him escape. He told Ryuk to write down a name in the notebook, and Ryuk did. The name being Light. So Light died, and so did L (He wrote down his name in the death note for 23 days in advance so that Light's father would go along with this plot.)

I haven't actually watched the movie dubbed. I said earlier that I detest live action dubs. I never said the heart attacks ruined the movie, I said the shitty acting did. The heart attacks are a fine example of that.

It's kind of like the manga ending, except they replaced Near with L. L replaces Misa's Death Note with a fake (like Near did to Mikami) and writes his own name in it, setting his time of death for 23 days later (a rule states, if you recall, that a person can only live for up to 23 days after having their name written in the notebook; the "23-day rule").

Therefore, when Rem writes Warari and L's names into her Death Note, Watari dies, but L already has a time of death set in the other notebook, so he fakes his death. Light thinks he's the shit and that he has won. Later, Light writes his father's name into Misa's (fake) notebook, writing that he will bring the other notebook (the one they took from Takada, who takes the Yotsuba Kira's place in this movie) from the safe and give it to Light before dying. Misa doesn't understand how Light could kill his own father.

L, who is spying on Light and Misa with hidden cameras, has Light's dad meet Light with a suitcase, which turns out to be empty. Light is freaking out, wondering why the Death Note didn't affect his father like he had wrote. L then pops up and explains everything I just wrote above (the audience didn't know he was still alive until this point). Light then tries to write his father's name (?!?!) on the paper in his watch, but is shot by Matsuda.

Then, the manga ending plays out, with Light begging Ryuk for help and getting killed. Light dies in his father's arms, saying that it was all for a better world and whatnot. Ryuk asks if L's going to use the notebook now, but he says he won't; he's going to burn it. Ryuk flies off, thinking L's boring. 23 days later, he dies eating a bar of chocolate, next to a picture of Watari.

A year later, Light's family visits Light's grave; his mom and sister think he died fighting Kira. Misa is shown in her room, which has been made into a shrine of Light. She thinks that somehow, something importing in her memories is missing. Ryuk is then shown flying around Tokyo Tower, and he laughs.

Cue the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

(Note that the new Death Note movie, L: Change the WorLd, takes place during the last 23 days of his life)
