If I could give it 0 stars, I would. Completely ruined the idea of death note and it’s entire essence. Can’t even be justified by “trying to make it their own” because they clearly tried to make it similar—except for most of the important aspects of death note. If you are looking for something intense and with well written characters and good acting—this ain’t the movie. Please spare yourself the pain if you watched the anime or read the manga. This movie made me want to cry—and not because it was touching or sad.
