Willem DaFoe as Ryuk was far and away the only smart decision made during the development of this film.

this movie felt like a worse version of the death note smosh skit

Ngl Willem Dafoe as Ryuk was pretty cool Can’t agree much about everything else though

I shit myself seeing Willem Dafoe then immediately wanted to burn my eyes out with the rest of the movie

I think the script writers read a Wikipedia synopsis, smoked some good quality weed, and tried to be creative with this shit

Can’t remember the last time I saw a movie that was this much of a mess

I need a "making sense of Ergo Proxy", please Sensei

Sock Sensei... the time has come... Execute Order DxD Season 4

I've always thought this movie was supposed to be a dark comedy, maybe not even related to death note at all, but maybe a similar concept, and some point along the story was shaped to have the death note. or maybe I just feel that this movie would've been better as its own thing and not related to an existing IP

It’s weird that simpsons is a more faithful adaptation than the Netflix show

The original death note has a ton if rules: The human whose name is written down in the note will die. This note won’t take effect unless the writer has the subject’s face in mind when writing their name, to make sure anybody who shares a name with the subject isn’t affected. The Death Note will never kill a subject if their name is misspelled four times. When the same name is written in two or more Death Notes, the note which was first used will be the one to cause the death. If the same name is written in multiple Death Notes within 0.06 seconds, the entry is seen as simultaneous and the individual will not die. If the Death Note owner intentionally misspells a subject’s name four times, the subject will still die. It has to be an accident to negate the note’s powers. The Death Note won’t have any effect if a victim’s name is written across different pages. However, the front and back of a page are considered to be one page, so the victim will still die if their first name is written on the front page and last name on the back, or vice versa.The cause of death has to be written within 40 seconds of the subject’s name being written down, otherwise the subject will die of a heart attack. The details of the death need to be written within six minutes and 40 seconds of the cause being written. The time of death can also be chosen, as long as it is written down within 40 seconds of the victim’s name. The conditions of death are dependent on geographical location and similar factors, and will only happen when the conditions are physically possible to match what’s been written down in the book. The Death Note owner can start with a cause of death and then think of a victim’s name. The owner has 19 days to write a name once they write the cause. Suicide is a universally valid cause of death because all humans have the capacity to take their own lives. If a cause of death would lead to the demise of strangers or other people not mentioned in the note, then the victim will die of a heart attack instead. The time and conditions of death can be changed as long as it happens within six minutes and 40 seconds from the time the time, name, and conditions are filled in, and as long as the victim is still alive. By writing “dies of accident” as the cause of death, the victim will die from a natural accident six minutes and 40 seconds after the entry was penned. If an owner writes “dies from disease” and specifies which disease is to kill the victim alongside a time frame, there needs to be enough time for the disease to progress naturally. If the time given is too short, the victim will die of a heart attack six minutes and 40 seconds after their name is entered into the Death Note. By writing “dies from disease” as the cause of death but not specifying the actual disease, the victim will contract and die from a plausible illness. The Death Note can only operate within a 23 human day window. The only exception to the above rule is if a disease that takes longer than 23 days to kill somebody is specified in the note. The victim’s name has to be written on one page, but the cause and conditions can be entered on different pages as long the person writing the note keeps the victim’s name in mind when writing the cause and conditions. If the cause and conditions of a death are written prior to the victim’s name, the writer of the note can enter the names of multiple people, as long as they are entered within 40 seconds of the cause and conditions being written down, and the cause and conditions of death are not impossible. If the cause of death is possible but the conditions for that specific death are not, only the cause of death will take effect. If both the cause and the conditions are not possible, victims will die of a heart attack within six minutes and 40 seconds of their names being written down. A knock on effect of a death caused by a note can be another human’s life span lengthening, even if the Death Note owner had no specific desire to do this. Once the victim’s name, cause of death, and conditions of death have been entered they will die, even if that part of the Death Note is destroyed. If the Death Note is destroyed between a victim’s name being entered and the cause of death is being written, the victim will die of a heart attack 40 seconds after the name was entered. To change an entry in the Death Note the owner must rule out the characters they want to erase with two straight lines, and do so within six minutes and 40 seconds of the time and conditions being entered. The time and conditions can be altered, but once someone’s name is written down, their death can’t be stopped. Erasers and white-out do not stop the note from taking effect.The Death Note can’t be used on anybody younger than 780 days, or older than 124 years. Nobody with twelve minutes or fewer of life left can be killed by the Death Note. A death date cannot be set for any time beyond a victim’s natural lifespan.Humans who use the note can’t go to heaven or hell. If someone rips a page out of a Death Note, or even a fragment of it, that bit of paper has the same power as the whole note. Any writing implement can be used as long as it writes something legible. This includes blood and makeup. Death Note pages will never run out. While most Death Notes have black covers, some have red or blue ones. The color of the cover has no bearing on the note’s effectiveness.the unlikely event another Shinigami picks up the Death Note, that Shinigami becomes the owner. If the note is stolen or misplaced, its ownership is lost unless it’s retrieved within 490 days. If a Death Note owner dies while the note is being loaned, the person holding it at that time becomes the new owner. If someone kills an owner and takes the Death Note, the thief becomes the new owner. Whoever loses a Death Note will lose all their memories of it too, but not all memories during the time they owned it, as long as those memories don’t involve the note. When an owner of two or more Death Notes loses one, they won’t be able to see or hear the Shinigami attached to that particular note anymore. However, all the memories involving the Death Note will remain as long as they keep ownership of at least one note. If someone regains ownership of a Death Note, their memories of it will return too. Their memories will also return even if they just touch the Death Note without becoming an owner again.Memories of a Death Note can only be regained up to six times per note. After that, the person’s memory of the Death Note won’t come back. Even if you don’t actually possess a Death Note you can still use it. You may let another person borrow your Death Note while remaining its owner. The borrower can then lend it on too. Those who borrow Death Notes aren’t followed by a Shinigami. Shinigami always stick with the owner. Owners can recognize the appearance or voice of another’s Shinigami if they touch the other person’s note. If someone has mulitple Death Notes they can write a victim’s name in one and the cause and conditions of death in another, and the death will still happen. The order in which it’s written isn’t important. There can only be six Death Notes in the human world at any point. Notes the Shinigami own don’t count. A Shinigami can only pass on a note to three humans at any given time. However, a single Shinigami can hand out up to six, if for example they gave three humans two Death Notes each. This means one person could own all six Death Notes that are allowed in the human world at any given time. If a seventh Death Note is given to a human it won’t work.If a human gains ownership of a Death Note, in exchange for half of their remaining life they can acquire the ability to see a human’s name and remaining life span when they look at them, otherwise known as Shinigami Eyes. This power will disappear if the owner loses ownership of the note. Their life span will remain halved. To use the Shinigami Eyes, the note owner needs to be able to see at least half of the person’s face. Names and life spans can be seen using photos and digital images, no matter the age of the image. This can be affected by the resolution and quality of the image. Drawings, no matter how realistic, do not count. The names an owner can see with Shinigami Eyes are the names that would go in the Death Note to kill them. This is true even if the name isn’t registered anywhere. If the use of a Death Note impacts somebody’s original life span via a knock-on effect, those with Shinigami Eyes will only be able to see the original life span of that person. It is impossible for one human to discover if another has Shinigami Eyes. The original Shinigami haunts the human owner of a Death Note until the owner dies. Once a human uses a note, its Shinigami owner needs to appear in front of the human within 39 days. The original Shinigami owners of the notes will not ever stop someone killing the human who owns their note.

I feel bad because the actor who played L is a really good actor in other work hes been in but this just shows that the writers of this show had no idea what they were doing

Could you check out the three episodes anime movie MEMORIES

The moment I saw Seattle It made me think of twilight, and it just goes downhill from there

I think the idea of making a death note movie with a dumb version of the Kira/Light character could be interesting, but I really don't think that's what they were going for. I'd rather they reintroduce the death eraser from the pilot manga than this bullshit about burning pages or whatever. And who the hell watched the anime and said, oh, let's make the deaths like a Saw movie? Absolutely WILD decision.

Blue shirt dude is cute af lol

personally i dont think this was ever intended to be FOR death note fans, but a mainstream friendly intro to the concepts in the show for people who really only consume american made media. its fun to watch if you turn your brain off and dont think about how the anime was objectively better. i genuinely think its just a softlaunch to get people interested in the franchise in a way thats vaguely famailiar.

Can you do an overview of Durarara!!?

Theres 60+ rules in death note. Stop bullshitting.

This was complete garbage and I caught my girlfriend at the time watching it and was like hellll nooo so I forced her to watch the anime and she couldn’t follow gave up on the bus scene then watched the movie and told me it was really good and she liked it so it’s made for a certain type I guess and if someone enjoyed it so beit

It's a good thing Netflix learned their lesson and did much better with their live action Cowboy Bebop /s

hi

The other adaptations for death note are good this one sucks ass.

NGL, while i do not claim this movie was amazing... I genuinly liked the movie more then the original death note manga or anime.... Mainly for one reasson.. Light in this one is not a super human smart person who can not do anything wrong UNTILL the plot demands it. Movie light wasnt nearly as smart, and most of his failures was either him genuinly being outplayed, or making mistakes himself. Anime Light didnt lose because he was outplayed, or outsmarted by L or Near. He was defeated because someone ELSE fucked up for light and Light maniacally laughed before confirming his victory. This i hate, Light wasnt allowed to make mistakes, beyond the very start and VERY end of the show. Like, comparing it to a different show with a protagonist with a supernatural power who essentialy becomes a "god" to the world.... Code geass spoilers ahead Code Geass. Ignoring the difference in motivation(Lelouch genuinly wants the world to be a better place, even for entirely selfish, revenge driven, reassons that initialy covers by claiming its for his sister, while Light is just a egomaniac) and flow of story.. Lelouch fails, multiple time, by his own making. Lelouch messes up himself and gets SAVED by other people multiple times. The only time when his failure wasnt his own fault, was the Bloody princess incident, and it is rightfully considerd one of the strongest, yet more annoying moments in the show. Because it wasnt lelouch's action here, but something entirely out of ANYONES controll that caused his failing. Yes light isnt a Hero, but a villain in his story while Lelouch is an anti hero so different character arcs are required. His(lights) failures still feel like the authors just refusing to allow Light to fail on his own, but needing a reasson for the investigation squad to close in on him... while lelouch's failings are done DIRECTLY by his own hubris, or by his opponent outsmarting him. MAJOR CG Even the way Schneizel figures out what type of person Zero is, vs how L figures out where Kira is roughly located is such a dramatic difference. Lelouch outs his personal believes and manerism by the way he plays chess and the refusal to take the king offerd to him, it was a clever trap, within the confines, with nothing Lelouch could have done to prevent falling into it, if he took the king or not, he already "lost" in regards to what Schneizel wanted, and Schneizel had very little to lose in the grand scheme of things, if anything. while Kira throws a hissy fit and murders someone without first checking if this was actually a nationwide broadcast. Not to mention that this was, iirc, the first murder he did that wasnt a criminal as well(as far as he knows)... at a time where he realisticly would be smart enough and still sane enough to realize that that ISNT a good move yet. This is NOT the Light we met even 1 episode prior, who meticolously planed, and executed, his killing, and who had several contingency plans to avoid being discoverd..... It was a contrived reasson to explain why L knows that Light is in this specific area... instead of it just being based on the fact a disproportional ammount of killings where in this area or similiar(which was part of the reasoning already iirc).... L entirely relied on Light being an Idiot in this moment(or even just watching TV this very moment), L had little to gain but a LOT to loose(mainly his reputation, and gaining no lead on kira etc.) and i wrote way to much about CG again... Anyway Tl:dr anime/manga light is a absolutly badly written character by virtue of being unable to fail due to himself making a mistake till the plot demands it, and the plot then bends Light into an idiot for that very moment. Movie light just isnt as smart from the get go, so his failures are more belivable

But why...

This movie wasn't bad. If you watch it without these clown's commentary it makes more sense. If you expect this to be like the anime it is not. The anime was 37 episodes long and this movie is 100mins, you can't cram all that in so the story of course will be different. I watched the anime and didn't like most of it. This movie at least didn't waste my time.

POTOTO CHIP. *crunch*
