They killed Kira. No, not literally, although yes, that happened too. What I really mean is they actually killed the character Kira. Light was such an awesome Kira. Throughout the entire anime, Light was calm, cool and collected. He was very clever, intelligent, diabolical and above all, cunning. Things came to pass exactly as he wanted them to. He had control over everything. He never once faltered. Not once! And then, at the end of Death Note, you want to know how he acted? Like a complete idiot! He was screaming for his life! He acted like a child. It was disappointing to see such a cunning and intelligent character degrade himself.

Death Note

I didn't feel like being clever anymore.

So how would I have ended it, you ask? Well, not like that! The Kira I have come to known would have had a back up plan. No, he wouldn’t have had just one, he would have had many! Actually, I don’t even care much if he had one or not. Any ending other than this one would have been better for the series.

All right, that ends my little rant. I won’t lie, though, I kinda wanted him to live. Sure, a real life Kira would be horrible. Can you imagine a Kira in our present day? It would be absolutely hell. But, Death Note isn’t our world. And I am curious as to what kind of world it would be with a Kira around. Ah well. I still actually recommend this anime to anyone. If you enjoy the inner workings of the mind, mystery, fantasy, amazing plots and twists, then you will like this.

These guys don’t know what they’re talking about. They give ratings like its nothing. They’ve seen so many movies that they must all be boring on some level. Well, at least to them, that is.

Rush Hour 3 Scene

Aw, hell no! Bad reviews!

The reason I bring this up is because I’ve recently seen Rush Hour 3. Actually, just saw it yesterday. I’ve seen the first one, and the second one, and had high expectations for the third one. So before I go and watch, I check out some reviews, some ratings, you know…to see what other people thought of it. Not that I care, or anything. Okay, maybe I do a little. But anyways, every review I read gave it either 2/5 stars or 1.5/5 stars. That’s a failing grade! It couldn’t be that bad, I thought! My hopes were dashed. Dashed, I say! I’ve been anticipating this movie for a while now, and to learn that everyone thought it sucked, was disheartening.

But then I thought to myself. I’m not “everyone”, am I now? What do those lousy critics know?

And I turned out to be correct.

Rush Hour 3 Scene

We eat bad reviews for lunch.

Rush Hour 3 was amazing! It was much funnier than number one and two, in my opinion. However, I am not here to give you a review, only to tell you that critics suck. So before you go reading a review, keep in mind that it’s their review. Not yours. Everyone is different. Especially critics, who are obviously the scum of this earth. A little harsh, I know. But I felt happy after I left the movies knowing that the critics were wrong. So cut me a little slack.

Not that many people read what I have to say, but hopefully this negates a few of those reviews: 5/5 stars for Rush Hour 3. It is worth noting that I am a Rush Hour fan, so I might be a little biased :) .
