I haven't watched the og death note, I've only seen a few clips so I don't have the nostalgia or "accuracy" issues that some people do. The movie was just underwhelming. FULL of plot holes, and the main character was straight up stupid and unlikeable (not even in a "I don't like you but damn you deserve to be the main character" way). It was overly simplified while trying to make complicated plotlines/schemes that are only 'smart' if you turn off your brain and I would have probably enjoyed it if I was a kid, but it also has too much gore for kids. Speaking of the gore, I like gore but it wasn't even done well in that the gore (blood etc) in itself isn't the worst, it just feels meaningless at some points. The girl Mia, has more stake than the main character Light Turner, yet she isn't the main character? One of the only things I liked was that I like the actor for L and the actress for Mia. The only reason I don't consider watching this a waste of time if that people talking about how inaccurate it is motivated me to watch the actual death note anime and find the japanese live action.
