Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Listonixio Fresh and Exciting

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

jimbolba It's the most offensive movie for the Japanese culture and especially the anime art. It takes nothing from the source and that's why it's one of the worst films in my entire life! I just hope one day it will be destroy.

brightsidereviews I did not watch this movie with any pre-conceived notions of what Death Note has to be. I saw a clip with Willem Defoe as Ryuk and was sold. Having just rewatched the movie, I enjoyed it even more. The performances are great, it's filled to the brim with interesting and cool shots (with lots of Dutch angles and great background details,) the OST is full of 80s synthy goodness, and the whole movie is so much fun. Lakeith Stanfield gives the best performance of the movie, which made me pay attention to him before he showed up in Get Out and Atlanta, but Nat Wolff, much reviled I've seen for his portrayal of Light, is equally if not more deserving of praise for his hilarious line deliveries and for throwing himself full-force into this role. This role which isn't the same Light as in the manga or anime, but is the right character for this movie. This is a funny movie, and doesn't take itself to seriously, but is also very professionally and carefully put together on a technical level. Particularly at the beginning it struck me as being quite similar to Donnie Darko, but becomes its own twisted self as it goes on. I have heard the complaints, the angry fans, but as a movie, not as a Death Note adaptation but purely as its own film, I can find very little wrong with it, and countless reasons to enjoy it.

xander89 Let me start off by saying I love the original Death Note anime. However this live action rendition is absolutely horrible. I appreciate what they were trying to do but really NetFlix.. The main character is a bad actor with no talent whatsoever. I had to force myself to finish it. It just drags on and on with a confusing plot and bad acting in general. Do yourself a favor and skip this monstrosity of a film.

tobi-58532 Worst film of a good anime ever. The main cast has nothing to do with the persons in the anime. story just the worst parts.
