Review of Death Note

Death Note (2006)
6/10
TV movie, but enjoyable
1 January 2007
This is clearly a low budget TV movie, starting from the bad acting and ending with the silly 3D CGI. But it's not that bad. The script is pretty complex, keeps one wondering what happens next, then the girl actresses are pretty cute. So one can watch this. Unfortunately, the story ends with the promise of a second movie, which makes it all not worthy. I mean, even when you think you got it all figured out, a second killer notebook appears and the movie ends. Hmmm... Had the feel of a bad TV series pilot.

The story itself I won't bother to detail. There is a manga by the same name and I guess it's more complex than the movie. Bottom line: It's not an art film or anything, you would watch it only because there is nothing else better to do. But you won't feel regrets about watching it either.
