Death Note movie


I cant believe myself... I haven't posted this blog for about 6 months!!Where's my challenge spirit for getting acquired English languige going?

Well the other day, I went to see the movie called "Death Note". It's Live Action movie based on the Japanese popurar manga series. It's actually divided into 2 parts. So there's 2 death note movies. The first one was released in June. Still now releasing. And second part will be released in October. To date, Death Note manga has sold 18 million copies. And when the movie was released, it topped the Japanese box office for two straight weeks. What a phenomenon!

When I see the movie, its really about Raito(A very intelligent young man who kill criminals using death note one after another for making the world better) and L(A mysterious smart detective)'s psychological battles. yeah, storyline was so intriguing. Characters also interesting. Although when I read the reviews on the Net, many ppl seems like dissatisfied it. I know the reason. Cause many ppl have already read the manga... And movie seems like much the same as it. Well at least I haven't read it. So somehow I hooked it!
In the movie, it ends with Raito's first meeting with L. I definitely want to see the next one!
