Re: Death Note movie

(Anonymous) 2017-08-28 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
It was so bad. I tried to be open-minded about it and not expect a perfect adaptation or anything but even as a stand alone movie it was terrible. The music choices were baffling (the Air Supply cover of The Power of Love at the end was particularly WTF) and the characters were awful, Light didn't come off as smart at all and Mia had no backstory or motivation for why she was super into murdering people.

The whole bit with Watari was probably the point the film really broke for me though -- this movie would like me to believe that, knowing they are up against a killer who requires names and faces to kill, L would totally let Watari walk around using his real name. Which is apparently just 'Watari,' since that's all Light writes down. Ad to that the ridiculous scope of the Death Note where a person can apparently *determine where a specific piece of falling paper will land* just by having someone dying at the same time and it was really just a terrible movie all around.
