Review of Death Note (2017) by Morphvgx — 03 Sep 2017
These bunch of 0 scores are ridiculous. Objectively speaking, the only issue with this movie is the acting of the main character. It is a bit weird, but it is decent. Everything else about the production seems good to me: special effects, gore, photography, camera angles, slow motion.
People are just pissed about the adaptation (and the movie is based on the anime, it is not an adaptation) because they wanted something more similar to the anime. And because of that they are looking for excuses to tear the movie apart.
The main character here has a different personality (he is not a villain like in the anime) and some other things about the base story are changed, but it is still pretty good, interesting and entertaining.
I liked L and Ryuk a lot. Characters were interesting and well developed. I would have liked a little bit more of strategy fight among the antagonists. I think the movie did a good job preserving the core aspects of the original work while bringing something different, american-style.
