Death Note

I had to activate my sense of disbelief at 100% for this film. I've read the manga, seen the anime, the Japanese live-action films (all 3 of them), and the recent Japanese live-action TV series. So, I decided to give it a chance, standing on his own... and I love it. This is an 80's style film, and follows the classic terror storytelling plots of that era, and the music and photography style follows suit. Everything that we as fans might see as a deviation from the original, are precisely the little tidbits that make it stand apart. It has better acting and dialogue than the Japanese live-action films, and the psychosis from Light is what I might expect from someone who is experiencing an emotional breakdown. Anyway... this is already a hit on Netflix from the amount of viewers alone.

I don't understand why everybody is so upset with this movie. To me it was an awesome trip. Atmospheric, beautifully shot and gory. 10/10 in my book!

I love it. I think of it as a homage. I think this movie was meant to be experienced on emotional level. I love this movie for its amazing photography, editing, and music. It is really hard to explain why I like this film. I think that crew of this film really loved Death Note and they wanted people to experience it in totally new sparkling colors. Like awesome night out with friends, original Death Note was that night, netflix Death Note is like a very beautiful, emotional _memory_ of that night, because you don't remember everything, you only remember cool bits and pieces and they not just remembered, they are amplified, beautified and glorified.

Was positively surprised by this movie. The story is really great and there's a few twists that make it more interesting. Maybe seeing Ryuk only blurry in the background would have been even better, but in general the movie was really great. L's performance was kind of weird of how he acts – maybe not enough acting from Keith Stanfield.

I really enjoyed this movie. Very good thriller and well worth a watch :thumbsup_tone1:

Very good and very fun to Watch.

Why the hate?
Is the source material so sacred that everybody is pissed because this is too American or something?
I liked it. There are remakes of Japanese movies that are much worse.

The light works in the movie are amazing.
