flat line with a false blip

[ununoriginal]

caught death note yesterdae - a movie i was pretty excited about cuz of all the hype bt the manga.  however, it was a 2-hour build-up to... nothing!  the premise is of course very interesting, but it feels like scriptwriters were merely going thru the motions - there's no 'oomph' to the film.  i kept waiting for something horrible or suspenseful to happen, but all i got was tons and tons of exposition.  altho now i noe there is apparently a 2nd part to this movie coming out in nov, i'm of 2 minds whether i will pay good $ to see it in the theatre anymore.

it wasn't really all bad tho, to be fair, jus kinda like the movie-version of 'the da vinci code', jus not... very... exciting.  but i liked 'l' - have a soft spot for weird geniuses who wear eyeliner and can pre-empt ur every move... almost :p
