  • The live action movies had a much better ending to it all. It's one of my personal favorites though.

    • I've never seen the live action movies, are they good?

      • They are decently made. However the English subtitle do not match the dub over at all. They did not give each character their own unique hair colour but they were all black haired Asian. Which if they made it in japan is understandable but I think they could have at least used hair colouring or a wig.

        • Just because Misa's hair wasn't blond doesn't mean it's a dealbreaker and that's hardly any grounds for a gripe because it pays no relevance to the story or anything else for that matter. If they wanted to make it really legit L shouldn't even be japanese. The 2nd movie is definitely better than the first and overall the direction it took even surpasses the original anime and manga ending it between Light and L. Near and Mello were a way to drag on the series and ultimately they are not as interesting as L was. I'm not saying it wasn't entertaining but seriously, they weren't needed.

          I heard Hollywood has picked up the rights for a Death Note movie which should work just fine because all you have to do is really just take it out of Japan and put it in the U.S. That's it. Someone would have to really try to make it suck if Death Note of all shows isn't adapted into a decent film.

          • Each character had a unique look and hair style. They could have changed the hair or wear wigs. It really is not that expensive. Also you should always pay attention to detail in everything you do. That means movies, writing and work. Have some pride in your workmanship. So yes the hair colours do matter. I also did not say it was a horrible movie. So are you saying they are redoing the movie a third time?

            • The only hair color that is different is Misa's because Death Note doesn't use that anime trend of every color is a natural haircolor. It's all rather normal. What more do you want from it? They are virtually just exactly what it should be, live action versions of the characters. Are you saying the guy who played L didn't play L well? He was exactly like him. In real life anime doesn't automatically translate to the real world which is why some things need to be cut and haircolor does not define their personality. Especially since it's Death Note which doesn't have many anime flare characters and are all just regular people.

              What do you mean redoing the movie a third time? It's only been adapted once so far to live action and yes Hollywood has picked up the rights to adapt the anime into a live action film.

              • I am saying that they should have used the hair colour. They also did have near in the movie and he had black hair, and Misa is suppose to have blonde. You are saying that detail does not matter in the movie.

                What if they would have used a puppet that looked really fake. You would still say "Yeah whatever its a movie". Also the show was very realistic for the most part. Also the fact they have a note book that kills people is not real so that means no Deathnote.

                Which means you do not think Deathnote should have ever been a live action movie. Also some movies are not something that would translate well like Dragon ball Z. However other movies like Tekken would make great movies.

                They already translated it in japanease and English. So if you mean we would have another cast going for the American version I do not see the point.

                The colour does have a lot to do with the personality. Why do you think they made Misa blonde? Since she may be smart but she is still a complete ditz.
