Review of Death Note (2017) by Feud — 14 Dec 2018
Even worse than expected.
This movie has an amazing story to work with, but they completely mess it up. Every character is badly written and utterly miscast except for Ryuk.
I thought Willem Defoe did a great job as Ryuk and I wish he took up more screen time because I could not stand any other character.
It's pretty clear that the writers and director did not study the source-meterial well.
The music in this movie was so weird and inappropriate.
The acting wasn't very good either. They really missed the tone of this movie. I wanted to see a clever conversation between 2 geniuses but all I got was a chase scene between an average detective and a dumb high school cuck.
Apart from some nice shots and Ryuk this movie was a laughable disaster.
A generous: 2/10.
