Review of Death Note (2017) by Mayank A — 15 Oct 2017
The movie based on one of the most successful anime/mange around starts off well but fans of the original work will fell bugged as it diverts from the original source material in stupid ways. Still, it tries to make sense of it all with a refreshing ending, only it's not really as good as the original and it did leave plot holes. The really disappointing part for me was the characterization of all the leads, it's totally changed and for the worse. Still, it was a good watch and would have been an awesome movie for its plot alone only if the animation was not around.
To sum it up in the words of the original creators on their thoughts of the movie "In a good way, it both followed and diverged from the original work so the film can be enjoyed, of course by not only the fans, but also by a much larger and wider audience".
