In 2017, Netflix took an adaptation of the mythical Japanese series, Death Note, with a very promising casting. Nat Wolff (Light Turner), Lakeith Stanfield ("L"), Margaret Qualley (Mass or Mia) and Willem Dafoe (Ryuk) were some of the protagonist actors of the film. So far everything is fine. The problem comes from the hand of its director Adam Wingard, who has been criticized for many for not having honored this famous anime.
In the original story, the protagonist Light Yagami, a tormented student, finds a notebook called "Death Note" with whom he has the ability to kill people if Write their names in the notebook while mentally think of them. Light o Kira, as called, intends to use these powers to kill all the criminals in the world. Here enters a known detective with the mysterious name of "L" that intends to stop Light's feet. In the Netflix movie the plot is similar but many aspects of the characters change. Light becomes an misunderstood, when in reality it is half a half psycho hero. "L", to which they change their race without being an especially important element, highlight it more for their oddities - the way of sitting or eating - than for their innate intelligence that is actually the essence of the character.
Fans of the series criticize above all that in the film the essence From the anime, it seems that its director did not just decide which audience was being directed. Of course it is not made for Death Note fans, because the story and the characters are misrepresented, when what followers want to see is a faithful reproduction of the series. On the other hand, he has not managed to captivate those outside the anime, since a pretty bad film continues. As always said, "Teta and soup does not fit in the mouth." So Netflix apply the story, which we do not want to see more shattered anime on your platform, as already done with Dragon Ball.
The well -known platform Filmaffinity gives you nothing more and nothing less than a 3.5 of note average to the film, demonstrating that Death Note's geeks are not happy with this adaptation.
