I didn't even watch the original death note (though I was aware of it) but I watched death note and I really disliked it. I thought the main character was very unlikable and the actor did an awful job of playing him and the girlfriend was even worse who didn't really add much to the story itself until the last 20ish mins and even then it could have been done without. the whole plot was incredibly incoherent and it didn't work within the movie. it started to feel more like a highschool drama within the second act which bothered me as it was supposed to be an eighteen (idk why though any 12 year old could probably handle it). the finale was possibly one of the most overdramatic things ive seen in a while. the whole dialogue was very flumpy and it felt like it was written by a small child. but I did like the lighting I thought it brought a nice atmosphere. overall id probably give it a 2/10. I can see why someone may like it but still
