This is the review I wrote to DC as soon as I watched the movie when it came out. Not gonna edit it so bare with it XD

My jaw dropped and eyeballs almost popped out of my head when I logged on to DC today. The long waited Liar Game Final Stage movie has come out. And what’s better it’s SUBBED.

Deceiving, believing, greediness and back stabbing. Plus top of it good plot, an awesome cast and more awesome music. This movie has it all.

Even though I hate Kanzaki Nao I have to admit that Toda Erika CAN act. Her acting in this movie was way better than in the drama.

All in all: this is a movie that is definitely worth watching. If you didn’t like the drama then I guess you may like the movie because this movie was way much better than the drama. The only good point of the DRAMA was the music and Akiyama Shinichi (minus his hair).

Have fun watching this movie! It really makes your brain work. I watched it while I’m suffering from light fever :D. read more

Liar Game: The Final Stage starts off right where Liar Game 2 leaves off and it basically puts a cap on the series. I am guessing this show must have been extremely popular and that is why they decided on continuing this way. A movie generates a lot of bennies when it's popular. Just a Guess.

But whatever works because I enjoyed the movie just as much as the first two series. If you want to read more detailed thoughts into this series; how much I liked the look and feel, how I feel about Akiyama and Nao, and mostly what I feel about the mind twisty games and great writing, then feel free to go back and read my reviews if you care to.

I will say this: I enjoyed that Nao had further character development in this movie but without losing her essential personality. I know a lot of people have problems with Nao and I was one of them in the beginning. She's so overly trusting and honest to the point where most in our society look at her and just see "stupid" written across her forehead. But I got used to her...I came to actually like her and by the movie's end...I was proud of her. And even more importantly..you can see that Akiyama is proud of her too. Don't underestimate the truly honest!

Also, I loved the ending of this movie. It made me warm and fuzzy all over. Perfect end to a great series. Have fun watching! read more
