Summary:
An overachieving 12th grader, Yagami Light is an aspiring young man who seems destined for success. Unfortunately, his daily habits bore his incredible intelligence--So when a strange black notebook fell from the heavens during his class, it wasn't long before he had taken it. In his room, he finds, to his horror/fascination, that the Death Note is real, and owned by Ryuk, a Shinigami (Death God).
Any person's name written in the Death note will kill that person in 40 seconds.... without fail.
With this supposed gift of God, Light swears upon his grave that he will 'cleanse' the world of the evil and needless people that inhabit it, thus creating a utopia for all. With the world's greatest detective, L, hot on his tail, will Light's ideals prove too fantastic to realize, or will he succeed bringing justice?

Remake:
Death Note has been optioned for a live-action Hollywood remake. A 2007 article in The Star (Malaysia) states that more than ten film companies in the United States expressed interest in creating a remake.[6] Vertigo Entertainment is currently set to develop a US Death Note remake, with a tentative target date of 2010.

My review:
I've never seen that a movie that was better than anime. This time a miracle did not happened as well. But I'm not complaining at all. It was still great to see my favorite Death Note in Live Action. I didn't like an actor who played Light. L was great I thing. He new his role really well but Light... was a little disappointing. Oh well. Let's enjoy the things we do have. I can't wait for a remake! L is the BEST!
P.S. I liked the end in the movie better than in anime though

Recommend:
Check it out but don't expect too much or you will be disappointed.
