Like are we really supposed to believe someone like L would ever been allowed to step foot in a police department? And Light Turner was just about the most unbelievable protagonist I've ever seen.

Awful movie/anime/premise

Nonsense it seemed pretty accurate, they have dumb names and a book that kills people and a socially awkward detective that figured things out because reasons

This lol. It took some liberties here and there but all the characters at least lined up with their anime counterparts. DBE was an abomination.

L was hired by the police department in the anime. And later on he built his own headquarters that the police step foot in. Was this also in the movie?

I think that was part of the reason L went crazy at the end and tried to chase light down, a al Mello. He wasn't thinking clearly

I did like the demon. It's kinda crazy that they got Willem Dafoe for the role.

I enjoyed the part where he said
"My name's got 4 letters, most anyone has ever got was 2"

Actually I generally enjoyed all the Ryuk scenes because he was actually kinda cool.

Also I thought Scarlett Johansson was supposed to be in this. What happened?

I think Hollywood is trying to make anime movies a thing since American comics are doing so well... But anime characters are just too good damned weird to be played by a real actual person.

I meant it more like Misa in the anime was naive like Light in the movie while pretty much everyone else in the anime was cunning, dark, an edgy like Ryuk was in the movie. Actually, wait, Ryuk in the anime is more like Light in the movie.

Good dude. Yeah. If you like Light now, just keep with it. You'll see him transform. He becomes so consumed by his own ego, its disgustingly brilliant.

I think the anime only has like..what? 25 episodes ot something? You can blow through it all in a few days, easy.

In the anime, Light already helped the police department solve a few cases and was the son of the police chief (? or something close to chief). It made sense for him to show up at a police station for case related reasons

Light is smart, but his arrogance and pride leads him to make stupid moves sometimes.

Yeah, Light could do a lot better. Take note of all those decisions he's been blowing. You'll start to see reprocussions of those decisions. You miss sooooo much in the movie. The anime really shows you just how far that dude is willing to go. It's insane.

another trigger for the movie though, there's no Rem..what the fuck. HUGE plot device.

The movie is just completely different from the original source. The movie is basically what would happen if the death note fell in the hands of some stupid degrassi kids while the anime is about a god complex psychopath going inception with another abnormal but lawful psycho along with more elements of Naruto shinigami shit.

The anime was top tier for 25 episodes.

The rest of the anime after that felt like some crap OVA or fanfiction shit. Like I guess it isn't THAT bad, but the dip in quality is noticeable. I rewatched the anime not too long ago and I honestly just stopped after 25 and really that could be a viable ending to the series

The anime/manga series was great until it reached to the part Light erased his memory and somehow everything went according to his "plan". I mean don't even get me started how fast it took Near managed to figure out who Kira was when it took L ages to do so.

L pretty much knew from the beginning after narrowing people down to those related to those in the police force. The problem was he wanted absolute proof of it as he was working with the police department.

Idk, I kinda liked seeing Light and L work together.

And like the last poster said, L knew it was Light not long into the investigation, but he couldn't make a conviction without proof, and seeing as Light knew people in the police force from working with them previously and his dad being the chief, it'd be devastating to his case if L tried to convict him without proof and it backfired.

Plus I think deep down L actually likes Light as an intellectual equal, something he's never encountered before, and possibly wanted to see their little chess match to the end.

And Near finding Mikami seemingly at random was kind of a slap in the face to L's logical reasoning for his deductions. And I didn't like how Near and Mello were essentially L's emotional side and logical side split apart and personified and magnified.

This is a common complaint, but I could swear that it made sense because Light and Near found him in similar ways, right? Light trolled interviews, message boards, etc for potential Kira acolyte candidates and picked one out. Near did the same thing to figure out who Kira would choose. Or am I not remembering that correctly?

he literally watches 30 or so tv's then suddenly, dramatically, and stupidly turns toward the one with Mikami and is like "I think it's him". There is no logic, just an asspull.

Yes Light found him similarly, but he spent a long ass time searching. Near went right for him despite the many devout Kira worshippers.

Don't get me started on that lame ass lip reading segment...

I mean, it seemed obvious to me that the scene with him sitting watching the TVs was almost like a timelapse in nature. I assumed it was like a week or two of sleepless watching.
