Cosa cazzo ho appena visto

As someone who really enjoyed the anime, this movie disappointed me every step of the way. Story line has changed, things were added and left out and none of the actors seem to match up with the characters.

OK, I understand that it is impossible to translate the plot of the anime into a 100 minute movie, but that doesn't change the fact that the film is spread out by the characters, or rather the misunderstanding of them, what was best in the anime was the duel between kira and L, who were some - in this movie they are just logs with the same names and that's it. You don't have to translate the plot literally (I would even be in favor of changing and shortening the plots), but if interesting characters have been replaced with idiots, nothing will help... To sum up + visually not bad -CHARACTERS!!!! -shallow dramaturgy -misrepresentation of RYJUKA - even the plots that were not in the anime, and appeared in the film, were not properly developed. If you watch anime - don't make mistake and don't watch it, if you dosen't watch anime- just watch to see haw really interesting and brilliant is "Death Note" becouse in this movie is less than 10 % oryginal

Shitty movie, it makes his own story but is too much of everything there nothing good except ryuk, william defoe peak actor

I lost some precious time of my life.

Perfect example of how not to use IP… complete an utter waste of time. Even as an original story it makes no sense. Motivations are lacking, characters not developed, no cohesion in storytelling. It’s like a live action adaptation of a middle school play inspired by Death Note, but the play writer heard the plot from his friend who didn’t even finish the anime and was unaware there was even a manga.

Film terribile ma meglio di dragon ball Evolution poco ci manca

Death "Final Destination" Note Mystery Horror Thriller, bei der man, falls bekannt, die Vorlage ausblenden sollte. Wer die Vorlage nicht kennt, wird mit einem spannendem Katz und Maus Spiel, mit vielen Wendungen, Gore/ Splatter von überdurchschnittlicher Qualität belohnt. Auch die Stimmung ist sehr stimmig. Für die, die Vorlage kennen, wird eben eine, sagen wir mal Multiverse Version vom Original geboten, mit eigenständiger Geschichte. Margaret Qualley aus The Substance, hat hier auch eine tragende Rolle, die sie überzeugend spielt. Zu bemerken wäre noch: Da im asiatischen Raum mit Emotionen anders umgegangen wird, wirkt/ ist das hier emotional aufgeladener. Sehenswert

The worst movie I've ever seen. It's an insult to the manga, humanity and the anime, it has nothing to do with death note, the characters are stupid and I can't stand that Light's character was made an idiot in this film. Crappy movie.

How could you ruin such an incredible story with that much money and talent at your disposal? I first encountered Death Note through the 2006 Japanese film adaptation. While I didn’t know anything about the universe beforehand, I was captivated by its portrayal of L and Light—characters who were brilliant, emotionally restrained, and far beyond the average person’s way of thinking. Their charisma and calculated moves made them fascinating and unpredictable. The Japanese version also stood out with its unique, fitting soundtrack that enhanced the experience. Even though I later learned the Japanese movie diverged from the original manga’s plot, I found it no less compelling. In fact, I personally found the manga’s storyline harder to follow, whereas the movie adaptation managed to distill its essence into something gripping. It proved that stepping away from the source material can sometimes elevate a story. So, when I heard about an American adaptation with a stellar cast—Nat Wolff, LaKeith Stanfield, Margaret Qualley, Willem Dafoe, Jason Liles—I was beyond excited. The Japanese film, while great, did feel low-budget compared to Hollywood standards. This was a chance for Death Note to become the masterpiece it deserved to be. But what did we get instead? Despite having every advantage—money, a talented cast, and one of the greatest stories ever written—the producers delivered something that was not just worse than the “cheap” Japanese version, but far worse than even the “boring” original manga. Their attempts to “Westernize” and “adapt” the story didn’t add anything meaningful; instead, they stripped away what made it exceptional. L and Light were reduced to caricatures of their former selves, lacking the brilliance and emotional detachment that made their battle of wits so compelling. The storytelling choices felt rushed and incoherent, leaving the movie devoid of the tension, depth, and unpredictability that defined the original. This was more than just a bad adaptation—it was a squandered opportunity. With all the resources they had, the American producers had the chance to create a timeless classic but instead delivered one of the most disappointing movies in cinematic history. A story this extraordinary deserved better.

As a non-purist emo sympathisers with no prior interest in the Death Note graphic novel saga yet with a conditioned interest in the mystical & ephemeral storytelling of sci-fi teen horror, I liked it.

worst fucking movie I've ever seen. Literal garbage movie and is an embarrassment to man kind. THIS MOVIE is NOTHING like death note, please DON'T waste a single second on it. Terrible script, terrible acting, terrible EVERYTHING

Gets a bad rap. I liked it but I have never seen the original. Just a bunch of fan boys that can't understand you can't put years of content in a 2 hr movie. Give it a try if you know nothing about the Manga it came from. it will more than pass the time.

Death note live action takes what we know from the Manga and anime and messes it all up. It makes it's own rules then breaks them and it just ignores the rules of the death note. When I finished this film all I could think was thank god it's only an hour and 41 minutes.

The story is a robbery of the original anime and manga. I didn't even have to watch it properly to know that they half assed half the characters. What did they do to misa 😭 Light is a wimp. The actor that played L was decent, looks like he did some research into what the character of L was meant to be like. Ryuk was well animated but lacks in character design. Genuinely disappointed. Made an account just to post a review it made me that angry. I won't even get started about how much was missed out or changed but the ending made me want to jump off a bridge. Have a nice day and don't waste your time. 😁👋

Seen the anime and that was engaging had a story line with plot twists every move made in that was calm and calculated seeing this it felt like a bunch of anger management drop out kids trying to be tough , horrible to watch waste of my time and everyone's time

I liked this movie a lot.

This movie is horrible. neither the director nor the cast took the time to watch the anime. The only good thing about the movie is Ryuk and the actor who plays L, because he makes very typical gestures of him.

Although not the original Anime and I nearly did not watch due to reviews I thought this was a brilliant film to watch, which I enjoyed far more than I thought I would.

I loved it absolutely amazing A+++. I would definitely recommend it. Yes it is true that it's not like the original anime version. But it's Hollywood nothing is going to try and copy anime cause it's impossible but again it's not trying to replace it either. It is just supply a live version of the movie from Hollywoods prospective.
