Watched DEATH NOTE Light Up The New World with my church pals yesterday evening! We were anticipating to watch it ever since then!
Personally, the film had a interesting plot that stands on its own. The story build up may appear rather slow-paced. However, it got better with its clever strategies and suspenseful plot. If you are expecting similarities to previous installment, this sequel may disappoint you.
This film had an unexpected twist towards the finale which heightened the show. The hidden truth then began to piece up to enlighten viewers. Trust me, watch it with an open mind. It is not as bad as what it may seems.
