The ending of the movie actually had me bawling. The ending in the manga had me kind of sad. Rewatch Value: I scored it one higher than the first movie because, like I said, I definitely enjoyed this one more. The only song I can remember, other than the suspenseful music they sometimes tossed in, was a RHCP song. Music: Again, I don't remember much of the music in this movie. Toda Erika managed to make it so I was a Misa fan from start to finish. I'd love her one second and then really dislike her the next. In the manga/anime, my opinion on Misa always varied. Toda Erika got more time in this one, as was expected, and I liked her in her role as Misa as well. Much like the first one, there are things in this that are completely different from the manga and anime, and like I said with the first movie, I didn't think it hurt the movie too much.Īcting/Cast: I said in the last one that I loved Fujiwara Tatsuya and Matsuyama Kenichi as Light and L, and that definitely didn't change while watching this movie. It was faster paced, so you didn't feel too bored at certain parts. Rewatch Value 9.0 Story: I watched this one shortly after finishing the first movie, and if I had to pick between the two, this one would definitely get my vote.
