onenuttytanuki Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Ok, I'll admit that I'm a casual fan of Death Note. I've read about 75% of the Manga and haven't gotten around to watching the Anime. Any who, I just got back from seeing Iron Man at a near by theater and one of the trailers was for the limited release of the first Death Note movie on May 20th and 21th at 7:30 P.M. Central time. OK, so I'm willing to guess that some of us already knew about this, but I thought I'd make mention of this for anyone who didn't know. Since I was kinda of surprised to find out that it was going to be playing around where I live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo Tremaine Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 [COLOR=#503F86]I's also showing in London for the next month or so, in the Institute of Contemporary Arts. They'll be screening all three Death Note movies eventually. The movie's pretty good. I'll admit though, some of the camera shots traditionally used in Japanese live action always make me baulk slightly, and can really ruin the dramatic tension of some scenes. It was well-constructed though, and Ryuk and L were considerably well done.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWNED Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I've seen the two main ones and they were both pretty good. I'm yet to see the movie based on L but I'd love to see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neptune Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 [FONT="Palatino Linotype"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="RoyalBlue"]This topic is kind of funny because I went to see Ironman yesterday and after I saw the preview for Death Note the first thing I thought of was "I wonder who on OtakuBoards is going to post about this first." I've already watched the movie online so I won't be going to see it in theaters unless one of my friends can talk me into it, but I doubt it. Like others have already said, Ryuk and L were very well done. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trentlondon Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Hey. Is this gonna be subbed or dubbed? And is it only the first one being released for now? Hopefully I can find it somewhere in San Fran, where we're a little more ahead of the curve than everyone else :catgirl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uhh ... honestly I'm not sure. I can definitely tell you that only the first movie is being shown right now on those specific days, but I'm sure that if the movie does well enough then they will do the same kind of thing with the second movie. It's kind of a crap shoot. I have no idea if it will be subbed or dubbed.[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Godzilla!" (continuous lip flapping.) Yeah, sure. It's gotten better, but the fact is that many Anime mouths don't actually form words in the first place.

Rachmaninoff Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 It will be at theaters both here in SLC and where Beth lives... the only thing I'm wondering is whether or not one needs to be familiar with the show to actually see it. Otherwise, it seems pointless to go if it won't make any sense at all, or if doing so would spoil seeing the anime later on. XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XP[/QUOTE] The thing is, the movie is an adaption of the story but with some differences made. There are some differences to the original storyline but (I'm not very far into the Anime) the plot is almost the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkside Dexter Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 The movie and anime/manga have a bunch of completely diffrenent events. Seeing one won't ruin the other .It's like the Dexter novel to the Dexter TV show. Same universe different events. So they are completely different telllings of DN story. The movie is no where near as good as the manga or anime but it's still a good watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ledzepplinrules Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I saw it but, it was so hard to get into because everyone in the theater except for my friends and I were talking and screaming. God, it was annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
