Death Note (the movie)

yami-sakura wrote:i watched the first movie and i loooved it!!! hahaha the actor for L is awesome!!! hes adorable to boot too >:3 he makes a better L than Shin (nana) anyday :victory:


i bought the second movie the other day and the subs make me giggle since it was tranlated from korean (i dont get it but :sweat: whatever). its SO funny!!! light's name translates to right and ryuzaki is now dragon man or something like that.... and misa's name is like.... shinning sea :rofl: when i watch it again ill let you guys know.

LOL :rofl: Dragon man?? Man, he sounds so much cooler now. From Light to Right, it must be some kind of message to the viewer... lol I hope L doesn't translate to like Fire Hero or something like that jk jk

I've never much liked Light, don't know why (I'm usually a big anti-hero fan) I absolutely LOVE L though... he has always been my favourite character in the manga/anime/movie

Doesn't everyone love L? I always thought we should tally the votes on who likes who more. Despite the reason behind Light's actions, I'm always FOR justice. Go L! Super Detective L, that's what i'll call him.

The ending I guess was kinda inevitable but all good movies have dramatic endings! I felt more sad for L than I did for Light. Anyone else agree? I thought the end of his story was worse than for his nemesis.

yeah, me too :victory: Since they didn't follow the plot of the manga/anime for the (second) movie, and yet they still did well.

In the manga, after L dies, new characters come up (i.e., Matt, Mello, and Near, plus some others) to take over the name "L" and the story gets a little too complicated. There were even times when I yawned reading the part of the manga after L dies. *also probably because of the fact that after L dies, I got sad cuz I fell in love with L at first sight XDDDDD* But in the movie, they never mentioned that Rem's a woman shinigami.

yeah, we should :victory: So when do we start tallying?

I cried at the end, especially when L said that the saddest part of the investigation was losing Watari. :( :puppydog:

Some screencaps!~ (of L of course :D)

And these are from my favorite scene, where L falls off his chair after hearing what the second Kira said on TV:

And his (oh-so-cute) confused face:

maybe you should edit your post for spoilers, yea?

Well, I also thought that was a sad part. His "human" side is what wins me over. Light seemed like a psychotic killer *no offense intended* and I don't think he'd care if anyone in his family died. L was seriously sad and...

My favorite scene was at the end when the police guy goes to apoligize to L (cause L is the greastest!) and then L is just really sad eating his chocolate bar~ Afterwards, we know L is going to die and then he dies peacefully next to his photo of Watari =( saddness X20 Dang man, what a crazy way to go out. I admire his heroism in writing his own name in the death note. Even Light was afraid Misa would write his name in the Death Note but L was not scared one bit.

The part your screencapped was funny! Kinda threw me off tho. I thought he wasn't scared of anything. I guess Shingami really got to him.. Btw, are you people girls?

Someone should start tallying!

Just watched the last name too. I think they did a pretty well job even if they changed the ending a little bit. Same here never liked Light and idolized L since the start. I have a "watashiwa eru desu!!!" message alert tone to match my death note theme on my phone. :mrgreen:

I beleieve there is a prequel to these two movies coming next year which will feature L during his earlier cases and it will also feature the whammi?(did I spell it right?) house where the mentally gifted are trained by watari for investigative purposes. Can't wait to see that one. :woot:

I still collect the manga (I buy it in English I've been a good girl and not read the scanlations which is what I usually do lol) I have up to volume 10 so far

I don't enjoy it as much now L is dead. I thought his death in the movie was better than his death in the manga, it was cooler. His death in the manga was a complete shock and it left a bitter taste cos Light had basically won *makes a face* I'm not really a big fan of Near he's like an L copy but nowhere near as cool, Mello's ok but he's got a bit of a dark streak. I still enjoy the manga but Light seems to have dumbed down a bit since L died... or maybe that's just me. He seems to slip up more often. Anyway L is well loved and with good reason YAY ^_^

Funny cos I was just watching the movie for the second time before I cam here ^_^

I just got this movie, but do you all suggest that I watch the Anime first?

Wynter wrote:I just got this movie, but do you all suggest that I watch the Anime first?

YES! when I gave in and watched "the last name" it totally spoiled the show for me :shamefulcry:

*nod nod* I guess that's true because they have to squash a lot into the movies if you haven't seen the anime/ read the manga first it'll spoil it for you.
But then again I guess it depends how much you mind spoilers! :bonk:

<3 L

Hmmmm... well in that case, I think I'll invest some time in downloading the anime. Thanks guys! :glomp:

at last! as just finished DN2 movie earlier!!!

im so happy w/the ending and so satisfied!

so i guess they wouldnt make any 3rd DN movie
i dont mind

but yeah i heard theyre going to make a spin off movie about L...
great! another L action1

i am so into L in DN1
but in DN2, Lighto just rocks my sox off!!!

Hontou ni gomen ne! I'll be more careful from now on.

Yes. L's human side... very well said. :thumbsup:

I was gonna admire MisaMisa already for sort of getting angry at Light in the end when he accused her of betraying him, but seeing how sad she was when Light was killed.. :shakehead: Oh well, I guess I can't blame her. She loves Light, that's a fact.

Yeah, it sure is xDD But L's cute when he's scared ne? He should get scared more :smitten:

And yes, if you still haven't figured it out, I'm a big time Matsuyama Kenichi fangirl. Hee hee hee.

Why don't you be the tally-er? :thumbsup:

I SO agree with you. When L died in the manga I 'lost strength' to carry on reading... you're right, it left a bitter taste. Although Matt and Mello are really smexy, no one replaces L in my heart. And Near?
:bleh: Like what Regina said in Mean Girls, he's "a less-hot version" of L. xDDDD

And here, some non-live-action L pics, just to show how L's character is so kakkoi no matter what version (manga, anime, or live-action):

This is from the manga. (KYAAA!~ L=The king of my heart. :smitten:)

And here's a fanart:

My friend told me the same thing but i dont have time to watch ALL the anime and then ALL the manga! That's take like a straight month for a death note marathon.

Obentou: Nice pictures! The character in manga and movie look very similar I must admit. I would start tallying but it's so much work!! I have school ya know!! lol You do it onegai :bow:

Ok, since our vacation's already started, I'll do it for you. :mrgreen:

I've started the poll!

Hope everyone takes time to vote, and I hope the mods don't delete this. I posted it under the Death Note Thread anyway dessho? :mrgreen:

EDIT

Gomen gomen :bow: :bow: I thought it would still be under the Death Note thread. My sincerest apologies to the mods. And may you please merge this in with the Death Note movie thread? Sankyuu :victory:

There is no such thing as perfect. just remember how many innocent people Light has to kill for what he so calls "justice"

and the world created by just one person's wish is disgusting

The one who created the rules of the Death Note is a genius. I'm glad Light will not get to heaven nor to hell! Let him suffer in misery forever. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: Peace out to the Kira fans :victory:

LOL! AGREED!!!
However, did you notice that

Spoiler — click to reveal

L used the death note on himself so essentially, L will be going where ever Light is going. I guess to stop Light, L had to damn himself to that place he sent Light. Are you sad knowing that the L character is now suffering in misery as well??

Sorry, what happened to the poll??? Is there no way to add a poll to this thread? So making another poll on a new thread is legitimate is it not?? hmmm... we have to make it some how...
