Review of Death Note (2017) by Allcaps — 24 Aug 2017

I really wanted this to be good but sadly it's not. I could go over why the changes to Light's character ultimately hurt the adaptation but most of that has already been pointed out. The thing that really made this almost unwatchable to me is the direction of making the film into a Final Destination experience with the deaths.

Even if you are going to go the final destination route, which is horrible for a Death Note adaptation, at least make the deaths creative and unique. The death note could add to deaths when it comes to people being controlled but they didn't even go this direction.
