Yes, I’m
going here again, sue me, I warned you in the last rage review.
The Japanese
adaptations of Death Note are probably the reviews that in retrospect, I regret
being as harsh on. Not because I don’t stand by my criticisms, exactly. But I
feel the producers had a losing battle, needing to tell a 3-act story in only 2
acts. Even then, the stories were heavily rushed and more should’ve trimmed to
streamline the plot. It probably doesn’t help I had to watch the subbed
versions as the dub wasn’t a DVD release. But whatever their faults, know this,
at least they’re not this movie
Netflix is a
hub for creative content (Voltron) and utter garbage (the Ridiculous 6) I’m
going to try and review more stuff on Netflix next year, I mentioned before
about doing a load of retrospectives. I’d say this ranks more in the middle,
but this has received a wave of negative reactions from fans of the anime/manga
and I figured I’d put my thoughts on the table. Happy New Year!
