| I got mixed feelings about this Death Note movie lol. What do you guys think? |
 Reach out  |
| Can't really say anything from what little I see. Looks more westernized, but I'm fine with that if the actors and story is good. Although, I can say that Ryuk's voice is really really nice/fits. We'll see if Netflix can make another one I'll enjoy. |
 |
| Is Kira on crack now? The pages of the DN are yellow as to give the impression it is ancient... I am more inclined to dislike it but I don't find it that bad of an idea. 2edgy4me |

| Ohhh... Kinda live action... Not worth my time then... |
| Lmao, gonna give this a try. I hate Japanese live-action movies cause I really dislike Japanese actors's way of acting and I often find it cringeworthy, but since Americans are doing this one it might actually be fun, even though it's obvious that it's not going to be even 1/3 as good as the anime. |

| Need to watch anime first, but this looks promising (not a fan of live-action generally) |
| Samuel L Jackson as L or nothing. I might try it out eventually. |
 |
| I think Death Note Evolution looks good |
| 한 번만 살지만 제대로 하면 한 번이면 충분해요 |
| Gotta watch the anime, then I will decide on what I think of it. Right now, it doesn't look too bad but that's because I haven't seen the show. |
    |
| He doesnt look nearly as hot as Light. I like the idea tho and if the execution is good then cool, even better if they dont have time to show and end the movie before that :D |
 Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself. That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes! |
| I'd still give it a chance. I have some friends that aren't really into anime that much (nor do I care about adaptations, good or bad) so it could be a fun watch Not a big manga reader so I won't care if the story is way different or whatever |
 |
| I'll probably only watch it if nothing else grabs my attention... maybe I'll actually read/watch the manga/anime now since this is coming out. |

SeidouTZ said: Based solely on what was shown on this small teaser looks like it will be a full on brainless action type movie... Probably will watch it regardless, but i'm not expecting much from it. Is actually a ruse, Kira secretly switched the death note for a telephone directory in order to deceive L! :) Jokes on you the death note anime only pretends to be smart |

DarkExtract said: What do I think? I think Netflix is ruining a great anime. After that trailer, I don't think there's any chance that this movie will be good. There's still hope, though. Wont ruin the anime. Im pretty sure my copy of Death Note will remain intact in the aftermath. Same way how the hollywood Ghost In The Shell will make some anime fans appreciate the original even more. |
| There is absolutely no reason why I should accept "turn your brain off" as a valid excuse to defend a poor show. ~ blatant ad: https://myanimelist.net/blog/Crusader_8 I spend the time to write it, so please read it lol |
| I have some soft concerns and hard concerns for this adaptation. Soft (not serious) concerns: 1. The misa equivalent does not appear to be a loner goth chick. 2. One of the big strengths of the anime was the orchestral score. Will the adaptation's score just as effectively set the tone? 3. Light is supposed to be a genius. I'm worried the movie and the actor will have a tough time conveying this. Hard concerns: 1. Shouldve been a series. 2. Admittedly we only saw a trailer, but the camera angles suggest to me so far that the directing has a strong chance of being pretty weak. |

| That trailler seems interesting XD as fan of Death Note, I might check it out? I dont know if I could watch it in here tho haha :v but hopefully it wont be dissapointing :D If it does come out dissapointing then.. well.. I guess... Im just not gonna waste my time watching it XD also I prefer someone younger for Light Yagami :v somehow, that guy looks kinda too old for Light XD |

jc9622 said: I'm definitely going to watch this movie since it's more westernized and will be more tolerable to watch. Thank the fuck, it's not a Japanese live-action movie. Japanese people should stick to anime and not their cringy-ass live action movie or series with their god-awful acting. Those Jap actors looks like a bunch of fucking losers when they act. They seriously remind me of those weebs I met in high school. In short: Japanese acting = How a weaboo acts Acting in the eastern part of the world sucks in general |
| Trash. Light isn't aryan, he looks like he belongs in special ed. If you are gonna make light white, go all the way white. And they made L stand for Lequan. If he was one of those black emos with the skater hair that would've been cool, instead they turned him into marcus holloway. The acting doesn't look good. |
| I wouldn't watch it even if I had a Netflix subscription, which I don't. Fuck them for turning Death Note into a black vs. white fight, when it should just be a clash of ideologies and brains. I bet BLM terrorists will love this now that the good black guy fights the evil whitey. I'd rather have an adaptation with an all-black cast or an all-white cast than this, just to keep dumb murican race politics out of it. |
| Well considering I found the anime quite boring, I am assuming this will be average at best. |

 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |
| Thread Moved Live-action movie that isn't from Japan, at least that I know of. |
 |
| I'm still scratching my head on why they didn't make it a series. The japanese movies don't do the story justice imo; Death Note really needed to be a series to work |

| This will be a total failure ╰(〒皿〒)╯ |
| The only thing I'm excited for is Willem Defoe as Ryuk. That's it. The trailer showed Light(if that is his name in the movie) kissing/having sex(possibly). Is that even possible? Does a genius with a God complex even has time for that ? ┐(￣ヘ￣)┌ |
 |
| i might watch it when a pirated version comes out |
| It's going to be a total failure. How are you going to make a 108 chapter manga into a single movie.... From the teaser doesn't even look like a game of chess but rather an action movie. |

| i hope its not as bad as the japanese live action films |

| Why does Light look like an emo meth addict who could shoot up a school at any given moment? Light being the embodiment of a perfect student while at the same time being a crazy serial killer was the whole point in the manga and its Chinese cartoon adaptation. This completely goes against the main premise of the source material. Anyway, this looks like a typical mindless action flicks. EXPECTATIONS = 0 jc9622 said: Thank the fuck, it's not a Japanese live-action movie.

jc9622 said: I've watched a few Korean dramas myself and while their acting is not on par with Western acting, it's miles better than the shitty Japanese acting. In other words, Korean acting is pretty decent. I beg to differ, Koreans have made some of the greatest cinema in this decade with exceptional acting rivaled to that of the best western actors, with some of the best acting I've seen delivered from the kids in Silence, so, I'd say I disagree that the Koreans/Japanese are bad at acting. However, I do think that Japanese and Koreans have some of the shittiest acting and screenwriting when it comes to TV Shows and some adaptations based off of manga or anime. |

Western shows also fall prey to these kind of issues that just make you go cringe or laugh at the situation, altho, some of them are more balanced compared to their East counterpart. However, I think there's one redeeming quality for the Western shows, and that's the premium channels, which in turn, balance all of the shit that is coming out from the regular tv shows and give us some great shows with superb acting, screenwriting and directing. When it comes to cinema, all spheres of the world have produced great movies with exquisite acting, especially for more serious movies and art movie, tho there's also the fair share of shit that's also been produced. |

Asian tend to be more overdramatized and over the top with their style - in line with over react and over gesture, talk japan. I don't simply said it in defense, like we agree there both share fair of shit, but there fundamental different on cultural/tradition thing. I saw couple great typical over the top dorama and it can not simply categorized as "bad acting" - in context of that the whole show intended to emphasized - But it's not in safe position as there over the top shows that can't be safe from bad cast and writing - like india tv drama was shit of the shit If you watch more mature series like midnight dorama then u'll find stuff that's (a bit) more natural like shinya sokudo - I think it available in netflix - Extect said: obviously not everyone have netflixj0x said: i might watch it when a pirated version comes out You do realize it's a Netflix movie right?

If it was about that, Hollywood would've stopped making these adaptions a long ass time ago. |
