Member daisho2004 Posted March 24, 2008 Member Share Posted March 24, 2008 I found this link to this new Asian Horror movie coming out on the Fangoria website looks wild. http://www.fangoria.com/deathnote/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Yakuza954 Posted March 24, 2008 Member Share Posted March 24, 2008 You should check out the original Japanese anime. It's really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member jmungus Posted March 24, 2008 Member Share Posted March 24, 2008 death note was one of THE lows of the past year for me. a horribly conceived and directed POS movie dragging the hell outta itself. acting`s equally tired and shitty (excuse my french) for the most part. 2nd part (DN: the last name) was considerably better (= quite watchable aka 4.2/10). if u wanna watch a slow tv-movie type mumbo jumbo anime-adaptation, this is the one for u.

Member daisho2004 Posted March 24, 2008 Author Member Share Posted March 24, 2008 OK Yakuza954 is the Anime movie the same name? And jmungus, there were 2 parts to this movie? From your review it isn't even worth a look huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member daisho2004 Posted March 24, 2008 Author Member Share Posted March 24, 2008 I guess these films are already out on DVD, now I get a different review on these films. Looks like I'll have to give them a watch after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Yakuza954 Posted March 24, 2008 Member Share Posted March 24, 2008 OK Yakuza954 is the Anime movie the same name? Yeah, except it's a series. One of the best anime I've seen in the past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member jmungus Posted March 24, 2008 Member Share Posted March 24, 2008 OK Yakuza954 is the Anime movie the same name? And jmungus, there were 2 parts to this movie? From your review it isn't even worth a look huh? im not the biggest j-movie expert slash lover in the world, yet im relatively accustomed to japanese film making to make a proper judgment (from my perspective; which focuses predominantly on screenplay/direction/pacing/structure, photography and [believability/authenticity/interaction/coolness-factor of the] characters). sheer popcorn/40/blunt-entertainment-values do count a lot as well. i dont know the anime but ive read the manga (which i liked). death note has lame cam angles and cheap lighting. it moves along at a snails pace, tellin 90% of the whole plot within the first 20 or so mins (what a terrible, terrible flaw, imho). tatsuya fujiwara couldnt act in battle royal and he hasnt improved since. PLEASE nobody tell me this kid got acting chops lol. other actors`contribution range from annoying to tired to mildly engaging. heather locklear movies from the 80s show more cinematographical potential hands down. i can see this franchise work a lil better as a tv mini-series, split up into 30 mins episodes. as for 'the last name', it wasnt hard for it 2 to exceed its predecessors quality, but they did manage to tighten stuff up in regards to structure and pace, so its not a total turd. do not spend money on this (yawner) blindly!
