    surprisingly good.

    like they changed a lot for the adaptation.....

    i mean the anime had like a million episodes, and this is a hour and 40 minute movie......

    so they had to change a lot, but real talk it was pretty ? awesome....like legit entertaining and for people who never heard of the anime, they gonna think this the wildest ? they ever saw.....

    it's been a while since i watched the anime....so it's not super fresh in my head.. but feel they got the jest of it, and put together a nice effort of their own.....


    8.5/10

    I like the white version, i dont speak japanese, nor do i eat squid.

    Lol. I know you're playing, (at least I hope so) but there is no comparison between the original content and this -- whatever "this" is.

    Hollywood never white washes stuff and makes it better. It's ALWAYS worse than the original. You'd think they would've learned to leave well enough alone.

    That's why I'm glad that they can't get the U.S version of The Raid off the ground. I hope that ? never gets made.

    Terrible as an adaptation. Meh as a movie. They really missed the mark on Light and especially L's characters.

    I enjoyed the manga, and saw a little of both the anime and live action movie. I'll check this out.

    Bruh this ? is a fail.
    At first I thought it was going to be a horror flick on some Final Destination ? , which still would have missed the source material but might have been entertaining.

    Then it turned into an all out shitshow.
    L is not L in this movie, he started out as L but then it just unraveled and spun way out of control.
    Light is not Light in this movie, he never even had any real traces of Light. This Turner fella is straight limp and nothing like the calculating and cunning character Light Yagami is.

    It even sucks as a movie.
    The soundtrack wasn't even that great either.

    The best thing is Willem Dafoe as Ryuk. He nailed it and at least they got Ryuk's love of apples and his chaotic neutrality right.

    Watched it and yeah I agree, the only thing they did right was ryuk but even with him he influenced light to use the book.

    Also the end was trash

    Bruh why they got lakeith stanfield out here running looking like a ninja? Although I like him getting all these roles. They coulda actually explained how L figured things out a bit better. In the anime he never even finds out who it is

    I get that they dont have to follow the anime to a T but it coulda been executed better.


    I'll give it a 6. As I watched it I wanted to slap the ? outta du for giving it a score I might give ozark or narcos or something

    L did find out Light was Kira. He was having trouble PROVING it. That was the most interesting part

    Nah I know that but I mean in between L finding out that the murders started out allegedly with his mom's killer and the agents dying there doesn't seem to be anything L said to determine that. Unless that's when I was saying to his dad it was somebody with access to the police database or w/e. But idk man I could be wrong it wasn't that good but since the concept was interesting I finished it
