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

As with most American adaptations of anime, they completely missed the mark on what makes Death Note interesting. The anime had (at least for it's first half) an extremely tense game of cat and mouse being played by characters that were incredibly intelligent and purposeful in their actions.

This movie was a couple of boys that were kinda angry at each other yelling for a little bit, while Ryuk went from a sinister trickster into some sort of horror movie knock off demon. Definitely skip this unless you're super curious how much they could have possibly missed the mark on this.
