What a waste of my time!!!

Very well executed

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Animie was a master piece even though, last few episodes were not up to par.this one is really not worth watching, L Is the highlight of the anime, here L's character is a cry babySeems They dint have much time to explain whole story, they could have tried a TV series or they could have named it something else like blood note or kill note, I'm totally disappointed......

The original version was intellectually oriented (which is what made Death Note awesome and original in and of itself). But this americanized version seems more action oriented which, by doing so, makes more room for issues and not make it as enticing as the original (that being the manga, anime, live action japanese movies, and the drama.) This is much less composed than the original. You have changed the story line entirely.

Poor William Defoe. I did not believe how much of an insult this movie is until I've watched it. I kept telling myself - come on, it's just a different perspective on things, come on, it's new and... no.THIS IS A WORSE LOVE STORY THAN TWILIGHT. The worst movie I've ever seen. Only a teenager with a brain of a chicken may like this, ...wait, no I don't think anyone can actually like it.

This is the dumbed down version of Death Note. Death Note, the anime series is a masterpiece. This movie is an insult. The characters are completely different people from the originals, different personalities, and with that they threw away 90% of the story. The story in this movie is just based in the original, If they had done that to deliver something very good, fine. But no, this one is very cheap, some parts resemble more "Final Destination" than Death Note. I was surprised to see that Netflix ended up providing a movie instead of a series. Wasted opportunity. Because there is already a (Japanese) movie with real life actors. So this was the opportunity for Netflix to do a series also with real life characters. Shame, because the Japanese movie is very good, even with a different ending than the anime, and a very good one. So we have a very good anime and a very good movie. Only Netflix had to come up with this trash.
