Oh boy, I’ve
not been looking forward to this one. The sequel to the Death Note movie. Released in
October 2006 in Japan it made 5.5 billion yen by the end of the year, after
being top of the box office for 4 straight weeks (double that of its
predecessor) it received a limited international release but clearly made
enough money for the third film: L’s last days to be released. I’m not gonna be
covering that film, since it’s not an adaptation of the original Manga and to
be honest, doing 2 movies is torture enough anyway.
Like with
the first movie, the movie I’m watching for the review is not dubbed. I have
actually watched a dubbed version of the first movie and there were a few holes
closed up in the dialogue. For one, Light said he hacked into the police
database to understand criminals as well as work out whether their sentences
were adequate, which makes a bit more sense, only a little bit but a bit
none-the-less. But we’re back to 2.0 and 5.1 audios (I still can’t tell the
difference)
