I couldn't really bear with watching it, (forcing myself to finnish it) just so i can shit on it as for all the live action adapation's ive see, yeah sure it was very unique and suprising but it really missed out on the psychological effect that death note gave out as well as it's overall main focus which is to convey the intensity of the fight between Light and The Police + L and Near despite there being barely any action scenes to accompany it. Good review i thought u made some amazing points about it and yes, the source material which they were given was getting dismembred into one shitty netflix adapation we're all used to.

Last point however i believe there is no way to recreate Death Note in 1 live action movie as it's just way too short on time it would have to be like a harry potter type thing, where the would be several parts maybe focusing on 1 arc at a time and making it very detailed, but what do you know about it, its fucking netflix however if i was to reccomend this to someone it would be people who have never watched the anime/manga of death note and are looking to try out anime, it would be a very satysfying for them to read it in movie context.
