Gringos cagando espectaculares historias. Se nota que este imbéciles y Netflix les importa una mierda la historia original, así como tampoco les importa una mierda el público. - @Friday, September 14, 2018 2:24 AM

Adam wingard. The only road to continue the death note is to have light write his fathers name on the note and give up the ownership to join L. That way he can make the case that mia was the first kira and his father will be hypnotized by the note and lose his memory until the time of his death which was written by light on the note before he pass the ownership and and lose His memory too. They will then join force, light L and light's dad to hunt the next kira. The only way you can go from the death note 2017 movie. - @Monday, September 3, 2018 11:26 AM

Adam Wingard's such an awesome horror director. He can blend dark humor, suspense and stylish neo-noir visuals and I thought he would be a good match for Death Note. Then....why did the movie veer too much from the source material? - @Sunday, November 5, 2017 10:44 AM

"I always thought that if I was ever going to adapt anything into a movie, that I SHOULD DO DEATH NOTE." No Adam, you really shouldn't have. Especially when you didn't even understand the fundamental premise of the story. For clearance, I didn't even watch the entire film. I've only seen the one scene that they released early to promote the release, the scene where Ryuk appears for the first time. And that scene was all I needed to know that the people behind this had no clue what they were doing. Not because of the stupid screaming, not because of the acting, but because Ryuk hands Light the notebook and provokes him to use it. Because of this simple thing they demonstrated they didn't understand the characters or the premise of the story. In the original, Light has on his own accord written several pages worth of names before he even knows about Ryuk's existence. He discovered and started to use it on his own, and justified it by the means of his own philosophy and outlook of the world. Ryuk was always just a bystander, an observer. He never was the devil on the shoulder whispering into his ear, telling him what to do. If Light isn't acting on his own accord, justifying his actions with his own philosophy - then the entire fucking premise of the story unravels into shit. His entire journey to becoming Kira means nothing. Instead, Adam wanted to make a film about giving the ultimate power to some teenager. Which is clearly what we got.. - @Monday, October 23, 2017 8:18 PM

For the love of God, release a legit replica of the notebook. I don't care if it comes with the DVD. I'm talking about an actual Netflix replica, with the Netflix Rules. I've already got conned with the paperback Comic Con version of it. Just release a legit one. - @Friday, October 20, 2017 4:27 AM

Oh, yeah, suuure, "Black L." The guy who made this movie is a "genius." Maybe if his goal was making a terrible movie. Also: Fuck you, Hiro Nakamura. First you let that idiot writer ruin Heroes, now you let this jackass ruin Death Note. Get outta Hollywood bro. - @Thursday, October 5, 2017 5:06 AM

Light was so edgy I could practically see him cutting himself in his room with his black out curtains because "his parents don't understand what being emo means" - @Saturday, September 30, 2017 2:04 AM

I LOVE IT. It may not be everything that people wanted or have everything but it holds up and it's a good movie. Plus everything you see from something original won't be adapted the same way as the original so I give this movie a 10/10. It's Good. It was worth the wait. :) Hope the director is doing Ok. - @Tuesday, September 19, 2017 8:02 PM

Did L just used a gun and killed Kira with a Death Note? Also Light is not a perfect kid but a douchebag nerd that can't keep it in his pants. Misa Misa is not a hot J-pop Star ... ah oh SPOILERS! - @Sunday, September 10, 2017 4:33 PM

I'm about to go insane from all the negative comments. Okay so look, Wingard was trying to make a Death Note movie that WASN'T supposed to be exactly like the anime/manga. Sure this movie had its faults, but he said it himself that the movie was set up to be a origin story for Light to become the Light we know in the original source material. I'll say it right here and now, i LOVED this movie. I will continue to watch more and more of the DN Netflix universe Wingard has to offer. You all also have to take in to account that both the Author and Illustrator of Death Note loved this version as well and would have loved to write Death Note like the version Wingard envisioned. I don't care if any of you call me a Wingard-D*ck rider, i don't care if any of you call me anything. I loved this movie and i'm not afraid to say it. - @Tuesday, September 5, 2017 9:10 PM

Another Failure movie by adaptation of Manga. 4 stars for me - @Tuesday, September 5, 2017 9:01 PM

Well Deathnote is my favorite Anime... watched it and binged-watched it over and over....But the movie you made, dear Adam Wingard, I needed 3 times to complete it has i would fall asleep like clockwork... Light is supposed to be a genius... your Light is a moron Ryuk is not supposed to push light to do anything he is just bored ... Yours do! Misa is supposed to be stupid ...yours push Light Next time you wanna ruin a story, could you ruin something like my little pony ? Seem more like your type of stuff! Less psychological stuff to wrap your mind around. Happy swimming in the bottom of IMDB Pal! - @Tuesday, September 5, 2017 9:01 PM
