Topic	That Death Note movie is now on Netflix
Tom Bombadil 08/26/17 1:01:49 PM #44:	StealThisSheen posted... Lightning Strikes posted... For what it's worth I think the first act is the weakest by far. After reflecting on it I actually like the third act quite a lot. Also this version of Light is more edgelord school shooter. Although, I'm not American, but are there really not preppy golden boy types there? There are, but I certainly wouldn't call Light a "preppy golden boy" type. When I think of a preppy golden boy type, I think of somebody that thinks they're above everybody/superior/etc., yeah... But it stops far before the "Cleanse the filth/play God" parts come in. The "preppy golden boy" type is basically somebody that's a douchebag, but relatively harmless. That kinda IS Light Yagami though. He's a Good Kid. He's got his stuff together and he's really smart and he's out to do the right thing. And then he gets ultimate power and makes some choices and goes downhill. To me that is one of the most interesting things about the original- a well-meaning good guy who gets swept up in his own power and doesn't realize he's stopped being the good guy. Light Turner is just some edgy highschooler who bumbles around until realizing hey maybe this is a bad idea. XIII_rocks posted... How was L? He's played by the guy from Atlanta right L did a good job. So did Ryuk and Watari. About halfway through the movie Light got the memo that he was maybe supposed to be conveying some sort of emotions, but he didn't pass that along to Mia. MariaTaylor posted... the director seems to have haphazardly changed every single character to try and make them more 'appealing' while completely losing sight of the original themes that those characters were supposed to represent. it's even weirder because he does seem to "get" L in earlier parts of the movie but things accelerate toward the conclusion too quickly and at that point things just become way too hands-on as a result. This is incredibly accurate. Like okay sometimes you gotta localize and adapt some stuff but we took all the themes of the original and tossed them out in favor of Hot Topic: The Movie can we talk about how he had a "Normal People Scare Me" sticker in his locker also, recommendation: play Yakety Sax over the chase scene --- Tombolo Friends of the friendless, seize the day! The problem is the racism against cute Pokemon.- Luster Soldier <cite>Tom Bombadil posted [p:885484808] in That Death...
