this movie is so frustratingly stupid
I don't understand how a functioning human being can write a script this bad, or how other people could read that script and think it might be a good idea to turn it into a movie
I honestly didnt even bother putting this on my watch list. I have a weeb bf who doesnt like reading subtitles and told me that this was amazing that they finally did a live action one. I had to remind him or atleast EXPLAIN to him that there is already a live action deathnote that is fucking amazing that was made in 2006...

His argument is that he doesnt want to read while watching... ok... but please explain to me WHY all these characters are NOT asian? I am not against characters being other races but this is just... I dont want to spend any of my life or time watching this.
I'm happy this video exists so I can prove to myself that there is absolutely no reason, not even for comedy purposes that I should watch this movie.
I watched it with a open mind. Story was hella dumb. They turned it into some sort of love story as the main plot. L was just some salty black dude and was nothing like the L in the show.
Holy shit this thing sounds so cancerous, I'm very glad I didn't see it. Holy shit this is so fucking bad.
The wife and I pretty much hated this movie. She was done about 20min in, I wanted to at least see how off track this movie got. And wow it fucked everything. We loved the anime.
you guys, watch the 2006 live action one

personally, 'fucking amazing' doesn't feel like it applies to that either. mediocre, but still a better alternative than the netflix version.

granted this was 2006 and whatever happened then what was "top tier" ? i just remembering i liked it alot

It's semi entertaining if you pretend the original death note never existed. The shinnigami was pretty good but he acts wayyy more evil then the original.
Defineitly expected better from Netflix tho.
I was all confused by the comments in this thread (haven't watched the video) but then I realized I was thinking of Death Wish.

He doesn't have to read. There's an official English dub for those movies (and interestingly, it uses the same voice cast as the anime dub).

Sounds more like an idiot then a weeb to be honest with you

I actually liked Light up the New World. Ryuk looks better in this one than Netflix's which is weird.

honestly that disappointed me the most probably, the actor was clearly up for it and did a good job before the script went entirely off the rails and made him all ANGRY and shit
