“Death Note 2: The Last Name” Review
After catching the first part of Death Note, I headed to the cinemas to watch the second part of it. The impression I had was much better when I first watched the first one. Not “elitists” this time round unlike the last time since people knew it was going to be somewhat different from the orginal manga and kept quiet.
Yes! More Misa this time round (I just love her!). The movie was straightforward and it wasn’t hard to understand too. Loads of suspense and thrill since I didn’t read the manga. Having one Death Note was troublesome and this time there’s more than one, be it real or fake. I just like the way their mind works and how they try to outwit each other. The ending was terrific too though they just ended it with only L and Light. No “N” or “M” were introduced.
Check out the sypnosis…
Light joins the task force searching for Kira in an effort to avert suspicion from himself and also, to get rid of L. The mystery deepens as another Death Note with its shinigami, is brought into the human world. A second and third Kira complicates the mystery. Making things even more unpredictable are the ‘Eyes of Death’, given to the second Kira, enabling the owner to know the true identity and lifespan of any person. Who would get hold of the ‘Trump Card’ which would determine the outcome of events? And who will be the Last name?
In the end, I left, feeling satisfied with the movie. Not going to spoil anything here. But trust me, it’s a good watch. <3 Misa!

ah! this movie has a plothole… refer to part where light takes his death note back from misa near the end of the movie… And the fact that he can see ryuk after touching the book means that the writers fail to correct this point….

huh, i don’t get you.. but the movie was great.. i agree.. i’d wished that light lived.. i did not get the part when L ‘died’ how did he know how to fake at the right time.. one of the only bad points of the show is that is it too stright foward in like, when light wanted to change the rules of the book, L imedieatly knew something was wrong.. its just too much concidence..

hiya cyw1998 is saying that light can only see rem since he only got misa’s deathnote. but tis should not be true caus whoever touch the deathnote effects r permanent so light touches his own death note bef. 1 v obvious plothole, dispointment to misa lovers, including me=(. thers a prob wif misa;s lifespan. she trade 75% of it for the eyes so her lifespan only adds to around 18 (18times4=72)which means she shoudnt be living at the end of the movie. srry bout tat guys. misa’s acting was relly great. hands up for misa ROCKZ

you’re right “cyw1988″ ah! this movie has a plothole… refer to part where light takes his death note back from misa near the end of the movie… ( when misa got out from the elevator after watari’s death..) And the fact that he can see ryuk after touching the book ( BUT THE DEATH NOTE is said to be “FAKEd” then why RYUK appeared in that part? ) LOL

Maybe because it was all planned, that L and the others told Ryuk to do all this as Ryuk can travel wherever he wants and thats why Light could see him?
Yeah I dunno.. lame guess but worth a try XD
I know its stupid that Ryuk would listen to them but as Ryuk enjoys having fun, he wanted to see what comes out of this, no? *shrugs* o.o;
