I think that the costs are much higher in the live action films much because of the special effects for the film.

I personally donĀ“t like the live action films, just saw the 3 Death Note live action films wich are pretty good.

Just thinking about that reminds me of the Dragon Ball live action which was a huge failure, i never saw the movie but i have friends who saw it and they told that it was a wast of time just seeing it.
