Seeka 12,372 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I was going to write a big ass article about how awful this movie was. I rewatched the entire anime just to tear this movie apart, but it is just so awful, I'm pretty sure I could write 10k words and never describe how truly awful this movie was. Honestly, Netflix should've just made some changes and rebranded Death Note as a Final Destination film or something original. This movie was not okay. Anyone else wanna talk about how awful it was?

Queen Gloria 3,464 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Really wasn't that bad, remakes/reboots have never offended me. I'm a fan of both anime and comic book movie adaptions. Why does there always have to be such a harsh, defined line between them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyanDante 6,072 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I think the trailer was enough for me to realize that I don't need to watch the whole thing I'm not very good with Social Mediaᵀᴹ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a fan of both anime and comic book movie adaptions. Why does there always have to be such a harsh, defined line between them? For me, it's usually because they never really do anything... good. Everything is watered down, and everything suffers. Death Note, at its core, its message is very relatable, despite said message being very Japanese. Nothing about it really needed to be Americanized. That is usually the problem with most anime adaptations, is that the messages are lost. If not the message, then the magic or feel. 2 minutes ago, JudasIsAHolyFoo said: For someone who hasnt watched the anime I watched the Netflix movie and I quite enjoyed it actually 1 minute ago, dancewithnobody said: the same Then keep it that way. The anime is far more serious, everyone has mostly different personalities, and there are way more characters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAMROD 109,537 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 It is a given that 99% of Western remake of Anime will be terrible cos these producers tried to add Western values in it so it connects with its Western viewers. I don’t even bother to watch that particular Netflix show. I know it will be terrible after watching the trailers alone.

Head Empty 25,148 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Their worst mistake is that they removed everything that made the original main character appealing, intimidating and interesting. If they had kept his original personality (and casted differently), the other minor plot changes wouldn't have been as big of a deal.

SEANGT 5,294 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I can see how this particular adaptation would be extra bad. I don't know a single thing about the anime, but if it's a beloved & unique piece of work....this movie is absolutely not that. It's an okay movie...but really generic. Basically a teen coming of age tale. The twist doesn't really add too much tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
