The Kira legend grows around the world, with some finding him a hero, and others considering him an outright criminal, no better than those he's killing. From street-crime to murderers with connections, to corrupt politicians, we're shown their names being written down in the Death Note. You can tell however, that the Visions of a God director/editors stopped taking ideas from it almost immediately, since this movie starts out with a montage of Light killing criminals. One could infer from that fact that the director of Visions of a God took some influence from Death Note, but I can't find any confirmation of that fact. In that regard, like many others, it's similar to Visions of a God.
#DEATH NOTE 2006 FULL MOVIE ENGLISH DUB SERIES#
There's an English language track available, with most of the cast of the animated series English dub reprising their roles, but we'll get to that later on.Ĭhonologically speaking, this movie starts after Light Yagami (Played by Tatsuya Fujiwara) gets the Death Note, and after the Kira killings begin. As this is a Japanese film, I watched it in Japanese with English subtitles.
Spoilers for the comics, animated series, animated films, and of course this movie inbound. Unfortunately, we're going to dig into some rather massive criticisms before the review is over, so sit tight. It helped to populate background shots, and kept the movie from looking empty. Apparently, they also used over five-hundred extras in production too, which was definitely a good idea. There's a little note about how this was the first movie to charter an underground rapid-transit line in all of Japanese cinematic history. Strangely enough, for a movie based on a comic that was as critically acclaimed as Death Note, with over thirty million copies in circulation, scores of nominations and awards, millions of fans, and near-constant re-releases of literally everything related to the series, I can't actually find much about the films production. Now that everyone's finished reading the comics, let's talk about this film here. This is the kind of thing you don't want to rush through. You might want to space it out a bit though so it's not done all in a week. See if you can find the trade-paperbacks at a bookstore or library near you, read all thirteen volumes, and then get back to me. For the uninitiated, Death Note is one of the greatest pieces of fiction in history, and easily one of the best comic-books ever created. Pictures Japan released Kaneko Shūsuke's live-action adaptation of Ōba Tsugumi and Obata Takeshi's comic masterpiece, Death Note. Oh well, we've come this far, we might as well keep going. I didn't actually find out that this movie was released before the animated series started until today, so that's kinda my fault for not looking this up. I suppose I should have covered these before I dealt with the animated series, or the animated movies, but c'est la vie. Before the animated series, before the animated movies, before Warner Bros picked up the rights to make an American movie, there were the live-action movies.
