September 22, 2018 @ 6:38 pm
Im a fan of the anime it’s my favourite anime but I loved the movie too
September 22, 2018 @ 6:38 pm
They turned Light into a victim of manipulation instead of being the cunning one calling the shots. They took out the evolution of Light. L didn’t use guns! He used his mind! One of the great things about Death Note was the psychological game of cat and mouse with life and death in the balance. They turned Light using Misa as a pawn into a teen romance and instead she was using him. I could go on forever. Ryuk’s looks and voice was the best part.
September 22, 2018 @ 6:38 pm
L is black??
September 22, 2018 @ 6:39 pm
1.Stupis Story Line Adjustment
2.I dont see Rem inside this movie
3.Ryuuk and Light Stupid Meet up
4.The Death like a Movie "Final Destination"
5.L so Freaking Idiot to Make Talk in THE CITY
6.L,Light both of them Very Freaking Smart As Albert Einstein..They try to kerp their Identity
7.I hate this Hollywood Anime movie Same as Dragon Ball that Hollywood Movie too
September 22, 2018 @ 6:40 pm
#1 Light Is A Stupid Motherfucker
September 22, 2018 @ 6:41 pm
L isn’t half as smart in the movie than he was in the anime?
September 22, 2018 @ 6:41 pm
Please Netflix delete this shit movie . Burn it . And don’t let any of the actors and directors do films again.
September 22, 2018 @ 6:42 pm
Why did they change it to anime to realistic
September 22, 2018 @ 6:44 pm
I can’t wait for the day to come where someone actually makes a good movie based off an anime with good CGI to make the people look like the characters and visual affects. But for now it seems as if it’s not possible…
September 22, 2018 @ 6:45 pm
lol i just want a new episode of Death note because of the unknown shinigami in the end.
September 22, 2018 @ 6:47 pm
I can’t believe they changed every character’s race to white instead of asian and made L black as if asian isn’t diverse enough??? And the american names really piss me off, as if people aren’t gonna understand the original names.
September 22, 2018 @ 6:48 pm
Am I the only one who still enjoyed the film? Yeah it’s not exactly like the anime so what ??♂️ don’t take it as “since it’s not exactly like the anime it’s trash” maybe look at it in a different perspective. Just a different version of death note I guess you can say. To be honest I’ll give it an 8/10 and again I’m just being honest.. you can hate me all you want.. I’m sorry ?
September 22, 2018 @ 6:49 pm
Ya know the L in the live action version does not have a bed head doesn’t have bags under his eyes and is African American so my deduction is that that is an L from a mirrored dimension
September 22, 2018 @ 6:50 pm
This movies sucks, I like to write the name of whole cast and crew name’s in the death note
September 22, 2018 @ 6:53 pm
TBH, I’m glad they made Light have a conscience. The most annoying part about the anime was that when L died, you had no one to root for.
Then again, changing him from "sociopathic genius" to "drooling inconsistent moron" was a huge misstep.
September 22, 2018 @ 6:54 pm
Worst change: L is Black. Leftists.
September 22, 2018 @ 6:54 pm
GOOOD!!
September 22, 2018 @ 6:55 pm
I enjoyed it somewhat. Except for Mia.
September 22, 2018 @ 6:56 pm
Who ever took part in the making of this series, I’ll write their names in my Death Note!
September 22, 2018 @ 6:56 pm
This is not death note. Are you sure this is a death note???
September 22, 2018 @ 6:58 pm
First time seeing watch mojo is angery
September 22, 2018 @ 7:00 pm
Okay, for #1, to be fair, Light was scared shitless when he first met Ryuk (source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWB6Db1y2iw)
September 22, 2018 @ 7:01 pm
This is less interesting, hence I overlooked it.
September 22, 2018 @ 7:04 pm
Defoe is always amazing

u think this is the worst? Nahh..u should watch Dragon Ball Revolution
September 22, 2018 @ 7:08 pm
Idiot the death note American
September 22, 2018 @ 7:08 pm
I think will was the part of the movie
September 22, 2018 @ 7:10 pm
Tatsuya Fujiwara was my first ever japanese crush because of 2006 Death note film. He used to be calm, cool, rude guy. And I hate how they change Light Yagami’s character in this adaptation. The worst Kira ever played. ?
September 22, 2018 @ 7:12 pm
Look, I do not in any way mean to be racist here. But L shouldn’t have been black. Why? Because his character was thr pasty white stoic kid. That was the point
September 22, 2018 @ 7:13 pm
Hey Netflix! Have you even watched the anime? Such nescience is abhorrent.

Also there was a whole lot of thought that went into the death note series, even the small things like how light protects the death note with a trap in a few scenes is incredibly thought out and even helps show character and base personality type for him. Even though it was short it was well thought out and artistic. The Netflix versions problem was they wanted to adapt it into a more American contemporary version of what they thought it would be like to give more “realism” to it. Instead of light being portrayed as methodical and one step from a genius, he’s just an average teen who studies hard, instead of him being from a seemingly perfect family, he has a broken family and his mother was killed, misa is more manipulative as the popular girl who gets what she wants. All of these adaptations were made to make the characters feel more relatable and realistic to us and not so distant. I believe that’s what they were going for in the movie, but the problem with this is, that’s not death note. Death note is about the book being given to one of most capable teens on the planet to utilize it for what he wants. Let’s be real, death note is about what u could be ( and on the inside apart of us might want to be, as almost like the anti hero effect) that’s what makes light so good as a main character. He’s the villain that u hate to love. The story wouldn’t have been as popular if told from the good guys perspective. Death note is about fantasy and how it taps into us on inside and how we wish were at the top of our class with little to no effort and all the girls wanted us and super popular, not about every day life as an adult or teen because that shits not as fun to put in a story
September 22, 2018 @ 7:14 pm
I saw he new death note movie and it sucks I prefer the anime it’s so much better
September 22, 2018 @ 7:15 pm
IF the anime didn’t exist OR it was not meant to be DEATH NOTE, it would be good. BUT, the show is just too AMAZING to change the way they did.
September 22, 2018 @ 7:16 pm
Lol i said shes just like tht bitch lady macbeth while i was watching it lol fucking classic
September 22, 2018 @ 7:18 pm
It’s not fair to compare this mess to the anime. There is no comparison
September 22, 2018 @ 7:18 pm
No. 2 is a dumb reason!
September 22, 2018 @ 7:18 pm
I miss L
September 22, 2018 @ 7:19 pm
