anime poll Death Note Discussion

So, yeah... Netflix is the home of Death Note movie 2017.  Has anyone watched it?  What did you think?

I just finished watching it. Having watched the original anime, it felt.. wrong. The anime is about an intelligent and upstanding young man who finds a death note, uses it on a man who's holding 8 people hostage, becomes a vigilante, then afterward meets Ryuk. The movie is about an intelligent young man who sells homework to other students (aka cheating), finds a death note, meets Ryuk while in detention for said cheating, is manipulated by Ryuk into murdering a school bully (they probably didn't need to show a live action depiction of decapitation), then is manipulated by his girlfriend Mia into becoming a vigilante. I got some hope for the movie back after L was introduced, but because of spoiler-ific events, the whole plot became about revenge rather than a clash of ideals.

I plan to rewatch the anime, since the movie made me remember its strengths.

Urgh, the movie sounds totally different.

it thoroughly changes his entire character and his character motivation.

Bingo evandixon!  I have similar thoughts. Also, I am rewatching it.

I finished re-watching the anime. It managed to alleviate my boredom for quite a while, and it seems that the same applies to others on the internet too. I found a video about how Light's scheme would fail much more quickly nowadays.

The Netflix adaptation isn’t brilliant. 

This Light is a joke  

 

That’s a good movie but a bad adaptation.

I've heard of Death Note. People say it's a shame (the movie) that it wasn't up to their par,but yet go all rolling on the floor laughing when the guy screams AHEM "So high-pitched and loudly." -_-. Mmmhmmm.

Anyway,the anime seems alot better.

Just my opinion.
