Undisputable truth.
>>
>>87065460
In the chink cartoon, Light was a Gary Stu OC, the plot was too convenient.

Movie was just a fun B movie mix of Final Destination and a /r9k/ power fantasy with some budget.

So yeah, I agree.

Agreed. Black L's lip quiver was a flawlessly executed delivery of emotion and passion.

For some reason I want to watch it. It doesn't look that bad. Mostly just interested in Dafoe as Ryuk.

at first it seems that light wins, he gets away, kills his insane gf and police tell L to fuck of after he looses it when light kills watari .

but in the last seen, it shows him writing something in a torn of page and ryuk laughing at him

assumingly in the sequel (if there ever will be one), L will have the death note and lights dad will try to get revenge (light told him in the last second about the death note)

i really liked the different nigger L, he was really good IMO, he retained the awkwardness of the original but he also did something about light

I never watched the anime and thought the movie was decent. I'd give it a 7/10.

Never watched the anime, don't like chink cartoons, the movie was shit. It was so shit I watched some clips on Youtube of the scenes from the anime.

Shockingly entire parts of the movie made sense and were well executed in the anime clips, and laughable in the movie - specifically the diner confrontation and live tv segments.

The "cat and mouse" stuff in the show is so ridiculously over the top in how nearly omnipotent and precognizant both L and Light are in every interaction. They are both constantly 20 steps ahead of each other and everyone else and nobody older than 13 could take it seriously.

Sorry but there's no getting around the fact that the script is a Goddamn mess. Every 15 or so minutes a main character acts like a retard to make things happen. Why the hell did L have Watari appear on television? Why did Light tell a girl he barely knew about the death note? Why did L walk up to Light and say "I know you're Kira"? Why did Light admit to L he's kira? I could go on and on, the screenwriters turned Light and L into idiots.

I'm so fucking sick of you autistic arm chair 'critics' shitting all over Death Note and I'm being dead fucking serious. Y'all need to get some taste and class.

Death Note (Netflix) is one of those rare pieces of great cinema to be released in the last 76 years (since Citizen Kane). The cinematography was absolute quality that really helped drive the tone of the film. The OST (composed by the legendary Atticus Ross) evokes emotion from each scene and really only furthered a strong and compelling narrative way that you just don't see much these days.

The set pieces were crafted with nothing but love, care, and incredible attention to detail. You can really tell that Zoe Jirik deeply cared about the world that she was helping to create.

The writing on this film is beyond words. Each scene was pivotal to the overall story and not a single line of dialogue was wasted. Truly a monumental amount of effort went into this script. It's especially brilliant when you compare it to the low effort superhero flicks (BvS, WW, SS etc) that flood the market like too much water in a dam.

Many adaptations these days get it wrong, and fall short of their source. Let's just settle this once and for all, Death Note did not. The character of Light in the original series is a little too unrealistically brilliant. What Wingard gives us is a realistic anti-hero bursting with depth. Not to mention the improvements on L's idionsyncracies (that aren't clear for the casual viewer of the original), which make his explosive emotional behaviour so much more engaging. What's more (than Dafoe's superior Ryuk?) is a palpable love story expertly handled amidst a film already thick with content.

All in all, Adam Wingard should be praised as one of the greatest film makers of our time. The Guest, V/H/S 2, and now this. Rarely does a generation get to witness such brilliance. C'est la vie, Nolan.

It probably means he kills anyone that tries writing his name in the notebook.
It's not anything from the series, nobody writes any non-human's name in the book, the death note only works on humans.

Exactly this. The best part of the anime was the steadily rising tension between Light and L, where you were never quite sure who had the upper hand. The battle of wits between the characters was what made it fun.
This was just a shallow emulation of the anime. It felt like a super-natural action film that just happened to have a death note in it.
I want to say that it could have been redeemed if it was a multi-episode movie, but with the acting I saw I don't think that's even true.

The peak is Amnesiac Light finally touching the notebook again and getting all his memories back, and pulling back the whole curtain. It's amazingly contrived, but in a way that still obeys their world's ridiculous rules about the books. I don't dislike the Near/Mello arc since it it still had some really fun moments, but of course the series was better when it had the L vs Light focus. Near and Mello are kind of like his spirit split into two contrasting opposites.

If he couldn't catch Light with hard evidence and hand him in, he was going to go back into hiding. it was never about killing kira for L. It was about Kira being processed as a simple human murderer and not some kind of supernatural god.

It pretends like the characters are super intelligent and like it's a smart thriller but really it's only because the writers make it where their schemes can only turn out the way as intended, when if you actually think about their plans there are way more outcomes that they couldn't possibly plan for yet they improbably get it to go just as they intended.

Basically their plans are only smart as long as you dont think critically about how the fuck the series of events actually unfolded in the way they did happened

>light was a Gary Stu
But that's the point. The idea behind a Mary sue character is that they end up being a writer insert who is constantly vindicated and there's no drive to the story. In the weeb version, despite its many faults, the most interesting dynamic was the twists associated with two over-the-top "geniuses". It made the show pretty decent and at least interesting, as opposed to a B-grade movie which essentially functioned as a vanilla lesson in power and hubris

What did L have on Light anyway that made him sure he was Kira? Not killing his dad when he was on TV? That's it?

They kind of butcher Ryuk desu. He's not really funny or a good dark relief, he's just a vaguely scary sadist demon character

the JP death note films were vastly superior, i mean those weren't great to begin with but at the very least they had Rem.

>>87080479
Once you get past this its kind of fun though. Just because the way in which events are retroactively justified is vaguely interesting. You're still right though. There's no worse way to unintentionally break the 4th wall than giving the characters superpowered intuition

First season - 6/10

Film - 4 maybe 5/10
Overall it was fun, but nothing special. I like Wingard's visual style.

The source material works okay in anime, it doesn't work at all in live action. Japanese films were unimaginative and trashy. Typical crappy Japanese adaptation with terrible special effects.

Up to Misa : 9/10 pretty good!

From Misa's appearance to L's death : 7.5/10 Misa is a bit annoying. But L/Light is still great.

After L's death : 2/10 please end it

There was a rather long arc about some business guy becoming the second Kira. That was also boring and pointless.

Haven't seen it. I don't mind if the main guy's an asshole, but at least someone like Spacey makes you care because he's charismatic as fuck. This piece of shit was whining like a bitch and never stopped

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.

jesus christ, what a faggot haircut this kid has
defending yourself by accusing your bully of child abuse, real classy
2 weeks detention for selling homework, yeah thats legit af

I turned it off

Wingard really loves his School dances and retro pop ballads, a la The Guest

I wish they did more passing around of the death note in the movie. I thought the way he did it was brilliant and Light would have never thought of that in the show.

The deaths had to be situational. How else do you think a kid is going to be decapitated? If he wrote that the hostage situation simply resolved with the police shooting the bad guy it wouldn't have the same impact. It had to also be a bizarre death.

I'm pretty sure L doesn't write fucking anything at the end because:

a) He ain't sure who Kira really was. At that point he mostly believes it was actually Mia.
b) He seems reluctant to cross the line.

It's kind of ambiguous though. Ryuk is just lol'ing around because the whole shakeup is funny.

>Why the hell did L have Watari appear on television?
the real question here is why is Watari's name Watari?
>Why did Light tell a girl he barely knew about the death note?
because every version of Light needs a personality flaw that allows major information leakage so that the suspects can be less than the population of earth. original Light personality flaw was his competitiveness, the same competitiveness that makes him a #1 scoring university student and alpha. Netflix Light's personality flaw is he's thirsty beta. Netflix Light is more believable.
>Why did L walk up to Light and say "I know you're Kira"?
i don't quite get how L is supposed to have figured that out either given the basis for that claim is non-action with many other explanations. but if youre asking why L specifically pushed his assumption on Light it was to make him screw up by and do something incriminatingly stupid like use watari to find his name....although he didnt quite seem prepared for that when it actually happened.
>Why did Light admit to L he's kira?
because unlike competitive original Light, this one thinks he's a good guy and that the murderers of the FBI (not him) are the bad guy so if L is also a good guy, Light naturally thinks they should work together to stop the bad guy.

L is definitely an idiot in this, Light not so much, he's different in a way that actually puts him in a stronger strategic position.
>>
>>87084828
He's just facilitating what is written in the Death Note. He doesn't actually do anything independently.

>>87084882
>Controlling a death god with his own death note

>>87067940
That's kind of the point? Ryuk is a bored death god who is only observing and laughing at dumb humans running around like mice in a labyrinth. He actually does help Light a little when bribed with apples though
