Death Note 2: The Last Name

• Directed by Shusuke Kaneko
• Starring Tatsuya Fujiwara, Kenichi Matsuyama
• Death Note 2 is a good continuation of the first movie. While the movie felt overlong and poorly-scripted at many points, there are still enough exciting cat-and-mouse games between Kira and L to keep the viewers interested throughout. Manga readers should note that the ending is different from the manga version, and that it is even arguably better. L fans can also look forward to an L spinoff movie scheduled for 2008. -Comment written by Dear-
