"Death Note" Not the Best Adaptation of a Great Show
Light finds the Death Note on the ground and stores it in his backpack. Later that day he pulls it out in detention when the room goes dark and a figure comes out of the dark and we are introduced to Ryuk (played brilliantly by Willem Defoe) who encouraged Light to use the death note to get revenge on the school bully. This is the one thing I think was better about the movie than the anime, the crazy, over-the-top, Final Destination, gory death scenes. Although, this is not nearly enough to keep the movie from being mediocre at best.
He started his investigation by hijacking all streaming platforms in Japan because that is were the majority of the victims had been. He then started to publicly mock and threaten Kira. As a test, he then revealed his "real face"and when he didn't die, he then showed his "real name." Less than a minute later of this information being public, the man on TV died on live television of a heart attack like all the other victims.
This then told L not only that Kira was in Japan, but that he needed the name and the face of his victims to kill them, and so the hunt began. Whereas in the movie he goes on TV and goes, "Well I'm not dead so he obviously needs both my face and my name." and they never explain how he knows this. Also he is a lot less like a predator and more like Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luther in the movie.
In the movie she falls in love with Light because he lets her be part of Kira. It's funny because their roles swap from the anime to the movie. In the anime she is Light's tool, in the movie Light is her tool, she only sticks with him so that she can kill anybody she wants. Shes more of a psychopath in the movie, than a naive girl who blindly follows her "Lord" and is grossly mistreated for it
Great to see you posting again. Keep these coming!!
Worst death note ever!!!!

Resteemed & followed
Thank you so much for the resteem and follow
Good review! I like your sense of humor:) Upvoted!
Thank you very much
Hey @trumpit. So good to see you again. I love your take, give us more of these!!
I actually just watched a bit of this last night but I have not finished it yet it seems pretty interesting and that beast looks creepy!
Well if the concept interests you, I highly recommend the original show. I also recommend reading about the Rake as well. Thank you for reading
I love the books and the series was good too! Never seen the movie, though! Thanks for the review... but I think I'll stick to the books. They are always the better version if you ask me. If you love reading anime I can strongly recommend battle royale... so much better than the movies they made. Have a great day!
Yeah you too. Thank you for reading.
You should definitely read the manga @trumpit. All I'm to say is that it has different things from the anime. The movie on the other hand had me very disappointed.
I will definitely check it out. Thank you for reading.
I haven't seen it yet, but I definitely wanna check it out. I always liked the series but yeah I can also see how this movie could dropped the ball
Its not unwatchable but nowhere near as good as the show
