And I understand why it's a problem for most people that this version of Death Note deviated so much from the manga and show. And admittedly, Light's actor has a couple iffy moments and kind of downgraded as a character, L completely changed character at the end, and Ryun kind of looks like a Halloween costume (but he is somewhat scary at first and William Decor's voice is amazingly fitting). However, I personally liked this new plot and would rather have watched this, then seeing this movie be a copy of the original. Additionally, this movie was very thrilling and exciting, and the ending was shocking and satisfying. So if you're debating on whether or not to watch this Death Note, ask yourself if you're fine with this Death Note being totally different from the original.
I just watched this movie on a long drive home, and it's much better than I remember the other. 2-3 times I watched it. The action is extremely thrilling, the characters completely capture you in their past and personality, and the last thirty minutes is so much more satisfying and entertaining than I remember it. It's a shame that Star Wars 8 & 9 weren't as good as this, but at least Andor is. Go watch Rogue One if you haven't already and if you have, it could be time to rewatch it and see if you're viewpoint on it is different than the last time you've watched it; I know mine is, and I'm glad I rewatched this gem.
Most of the people that watched this movie hated it for being over the top, and I guess I kind of understand this. However, I suppose I don't find many movies over the top, such as Old, Black Adam, or the two Escape Rooms to name some movies labeled over the top that I really loved. Meg 2 is another one of these over the top movies that I found entertaining throughout it's never ending action, intensity, and decent amount of humor. If you're like me and rarely find movies over the top, then don't hold yourself back from watching the Meg 2 due to it's low ratings like I was going to do, for you'll have a fun time watching this.
