it is currently around 2:00am where I live and I am writing this review for the Death Note Netflix Film and holy crap, the movie was ...alright/okay.

The movie def is nothing like the anime/manga in any way expect for a few things referenced or used here or there.

This movie is instead based in America and what if Light was an American Student instead of a Japanese student

The actors I think do a good job, Natt Wolf as Light is good, the girl who played Mia aka Misa did an okay job. Keith Stanfield did a fine job and did eat alot of candy (not the best job), I can say that Willem Dafoe as Ryuk did a great job for what he working for him. His voice for Ryuk is suitable but at times can be forced. Ryuk looks beautiful in this film. I think Willem Dafoe did the motion capture for Ryuk's face and does a job at making those faces we all know and love.

The movie's plot is everywhere at times, but can get focused and has sometimes a knack for making you go "How?"

But there's a lot of cool shots in this movie and I do like the fact that the movie is Rated R and didn't pussy out on some of it's blood. There are really some cool changes that I like and some twists throughout it that I can appreciate it. I'm glad it was something very different and not a shot for shot remake. Something I didn't like about the Japanese Live Actions versions when they did do that.

Overall, the movie is okay, it will not blow your mind and not make you go "WOW THAT WAS AMAZING"

Is it the worst anime adaptation? no. Is it the best adaptation? no? Could I watch this movie again? Maybe..

SPOILERS..KINDA (Near and Mellow are not in this movie at all. Which is cool that they didn't force in alot of detectives in here) ( Light does not say "I'll take a potato chip AND EAT IT" little bummed on that, haha not really.

Will this movie make my worst movies of 2017 list. nah. it won't

Again, I do appreciate the director trying something different, but most of it doesn't work.

I'm gonna give the Death Note the Stuckmann rating of a C. and the Roger Ebert rating of a 2/4. and the Hax Score of 6/10 Check it out if you want to, but don't expect a re-telling of the anime/ manga.
