Why didn't he tell Watari to kill L for him? This Kira was

The movie was poorly written which sucks because I liked the direction they were going. The writers just fucking sucked

>>87034093
>Why didn't he tell Watari to kill L for him?

>watari kills L and then dies of cancer

>>87034093
maybe he wanted to control L, in order to prevent further investigations? so he'd need L's name

I'm about to watch it boys--what am I in for?

>>87034524
Confusing script with bad character direction
I felt very little chemistry between Light and Mia and it turned into a retarded teen love drama halfway through

Why was L a character in this movie? It felt completely out of place. At least have L be an adult and not whatever that nonsense that was. I hate pretty much all anime but I figured they'd adapt/change the weird Japanese eccentricities in the same way The Departed adapted the themes/general plot of those chinese movies.

Did you fags miss the part where you need a person's name and face to kill them?

>>87034895
This. It's basically a parody of the original.

>>87034524
Fucking nonsense

>>87035172
He just put Watari in the note and it worked. Even if it's not an alias, does he not have a last name? And also what about all those prostitutes in the japanese club?

>>87034093
Cause you can't control someone to kill another person. That's one of the rules. Only way to do that is if they use a Death Note

>>87035763
His full name is Watari in the movie.

I don't care enough to rewatch this piece of shit but I'm pretty sure the prostitutes aren't killed, they show them getting arrested

>>87034093
>Why didn't he tell Watari to kill L for him?
probably some meme rule they didn't even attempt to explain
what was he even going to do once he got the name anyway? Its not like he would even kill L when he didn't even have the balls to kill watari
the movie didn't have a single element that made the original series interesting

>>87035823
Plenty of dead prostitutes at the club. It seemed more like what was supposed to be a scene for a copycat Kira but it was recut to be the actual Kira.

>>87034524
Shit movie with horrible pacing and unrealistic romance. Go and watch Hayden Christenson's Jumper instead if you haven't.

Don't take it too seriously and you'll be fine.

Art direction and cinematography was fine. Great infact.

The actors and actresses involved are mega shit. Except L. He was tolerable.

I enjoyed this movie.

Light was a stupid teenager, the Misa was a slut, and L getting triggered. Most realistic adaptation.

This. If you gave an edgy 17 year old the Death Note, the American version of Light is what you're more likely to get, not some MUH SUPREME INTELLECT asshole with a messiah complex.

the ending literally redeems this piece of shit, the beginning of this movie was fucking ass but it got better as it kept going.

Light Yagami falls in love with L Lawliet.

Unable to confess, he is gifted by the shinigami Ryuk with the boy's phone number. The Desu No. Never minding the strange area code, he immediately calls him, and is overjoyed to find out that he has a crush on him as well.

But, the next day, when he recounts the previous day's confessions to the master detective, he only looks at him with a perplexed expression. After some investigation, he finds out that the boy he called is not the same boy he fell in love with. In fact, he doesn't exist in this universe at all. He is L's alternate universe counterpart, who has fallen in love with the MC's own AU self, who too is blissfully unaware of his crush.

Hijinks ensue as the two strike up a deal to give each other their darkest, most private secrets in order to equip the other with the weapons they need to conquer the heart of their other selves. While the two chase their respective loved ones, DRAMA ensues as they begin to fall in love with each other instead and question the NATURE of JUSTICE.

Everything in this movie is a writing ploy to help the final keikaku, it's lazy writing betting on the long lasting impression of the last 5 minutes of the movie.

Didn't realize this, but you're totally right. The only people I talked to who liked it only mentioned the final scene.

But there was a bunch of dead collateral damage in the Japanese scene.

>>87034093
Not normally a fan of gender-bending characters, but if they ahd made Mia actually Light, it would have saved the movie. They should have had her have her own death note and manipulating Light for her own ideals. She's already closer to show-Light than movie-Light was.

>>87034524
Horrible pacing and a movie that can't decide what sort of tone it wants.

>>87040901
I don't know, but I'm surprised I managed to watch the movie as long as I did, each minute convincing myself that maybe it will get better. Then when L went and grabbed a gun I knew the kind of stupid shit that was going to happen next and just stopped. My lies crumbled.

Probably because he didn't write it.

There was no page burning in the original death note afaik.

Haunting atmosphere, gripping drama, great acting performances, wicked soundtrack.

The flick started to fall apart when L freely gave Watari to Turner. Turner's plan with Watari didn't make any sense. They had to invent new asspull 'burn the page but just once' rules just to give build up to Turner's final keikaku moment.

Literally the only real difference between The Departed and Infernal Affairs is taking away the parts that Americans would be too retarded to feasibly be doing like using Morse code, the ideology and language are basically just directly replaced 1 for 1

>>87035823
No there was definitely a bunch of dead prostitutes in the club. I don't think they ever gave a concrete answer on whether you could have someone you're possessing kill someone else, probably on purpose to get away with this shit. This movie was so poorly written.

>>87043813
Also, it was really convenient that there were files with L's true name left behind somewhere in an abandoned cellar.

There was no reason for them not to destroy those files after successfully raising a master detective.

The whole story was one convenient plot point after another.

Showed this to my gf last night, she doesn't watch anime and she works in Cinema, thought she might give me an unbiased opinion since I watched the anime and thought this movie was garbage
She spent the whole movie literally laughing her ass off, everything from the pacing to the dialogue to the characters and the acting is terrible, she said it's a worse final destination movie.

Fucking steaming pile of garbage, I hate Netflix for ruining this

Because he doesnt know L's name and cant write it in the book without his name. Yes you faggots that even means indirectly. even if you wrote "watari kills himself infront of L with a grenade" its not going to fucking work because the book doesnt know who "L" since its not a fucking name you idiots.
