Death Note Movie

This movie is based on a Japanese manga written by Tsugumi Ohba about an ordinary genius kid who wanted to become God after possessing a Death Note which was dropped by a Shinigami (Death God). Wanting to eliminate the criminals in the whole world, Yagami Raito (Light) used the Death Note aggresively, killing a lot of convicted and accused criminals gaining himself the name "Kira" by the police officers who were hunting him.

Aside from the police officers, the cooperation of the world's greatest detective also went out and risking everything, showed himself to Raito whom he was already suspecting to be Kira. Being very odd, L could even hind his intelligence by showing all those strange behavior that he does when in fact, competing against Raito on who will win first.

I've seen the anime and read the manga of this story although I haven't finished them yet. Being very excited to see the movie, I didn't mind the spoiler that it may bring by the end.

Indeed, I was glad that I decided to actually watch the two parts of the movie because it was only my second time to be amazed at how the plot was so much twisted to end in a better way. It wasn't much like how the manga turned out to be although I know it still has the same kind of ending.

In conclusion, all I can say was that even though L outwitted Raito and was able to defeat him, I was still amazed by how intelligent Raito was that all his plans turned out well even after loosing his memory by discarding the Death Note.

Indeed, Justice shall really prevail and for Raito and L who won't accept defeat, only death would be able to make them happy. =]
