Light Yagami decides to rid the world of evil with the power of the Death Note. After watching Near, aware of the existence of Death Notes, wants to get his hands on one, but a challenge to his efforts comes from his orphanage rival, Mello, who throws a curve into Near's efforts by having his underworld thugs kidnap Japanese Police Director Takimura, ready to trade him for a Death Note. The actors did their best and the story is nice, with interesting twists.As previously reported, Sony Pictures Entertainment and AT&T announced on Aug. Just like with Avatar The Last Airbender, no newer version will compare to the original animated version, but in the case of Death Note I do think the live action remake is worth watching. Yet, if you’re open minded, I think you can appreciate the acting and the story behind this live action remake. In terms of effects, you may not necessarily enjoy the Death Note 2017 version. Conclusion of Death Note 2017 vs Death Note 2006 One was the actor (Jason Liles) and the other the voice(Willem Dafoe). When I was looking for the name of the actor who played Ryuk, I was surprised to see that 2 people portrayed this role. So it’s a good thing they mostly kept him in the dark. His face just looked like crumpled paper mache in my opinion. However, when they later showed him in clear light, I was less impressed. When he made his first appearance in the 2017 version of Death Note, However, I was impressed with L’s (Lakeith Stanfield) performance as well. The transition from an animated white/Asian character to a Caucasian guy, like they did with Light, was easier to process than the transition from an Asian guy to a Black guy. Not because I have anything against black people, which would be dumb by the way because I’m part black as well, but because I remember L from the animated version of Death Note as a Japanese guy. At first, when I saw they made the infamous L a black guy, I was disappointed. It’s possible that I forgot about her, seeing as I saw the animated version about 10 years ago and I never re-watched it.Īnyway, back to the actors and the acting.
I, personally, don’t remember Light having a girlfriend in the animated version. To be completely honest, I thought she had better acting skills than the male lead. The female lead (Margaret Qualley) of the live action remake of “Death Note” did a splendid job as well. In the beginning, I wasn’t so sure of this, but when the tension started building, he portrayed the good-guy-turned-psychopath-in-order-to-keep-his-secret-hidden role awesomely. Yet, I have to hand it to him, he’s a good actor. I wasn’t fond of the lead actor (Nat Wolff), because – call me shallow if you must – the animated lead was better looking. There were some things I did not recognize compared to the animated version, but it all fell into place. Yet, I was surprised at how interesting the movie got. When the movie started, I thought, “Maybe I should stop it while I still have the chance and while I still have my good memories of the animated version.” I saw the cast and figured that it was a low budget film. However, even though most warnings pointed to not watching the movie, my curiosity got the best of me. Another reason not to watch it was that I read that, just as I suspected, the live action remake wasn’t worth watching. At first I didn’t want to watch it, because if it would be anything like The Last Airbender, that would totally be a disappointment. The question then became whether or not I would give the Netflix version of “Death Note” a chance. Yet, seeing what they had turned “The Avatar – The last Airbender” into, I had my doubts about this remake as well, because in my opinion they butchered that movie. So an action remake was a nice way to relive those moments.

I had seen the anime series years ago and though I found it to be quite dark, it intrigued me. When I found out that there was going to be a live action remake of “Death Note”, I had mixed feelings.
