Death to dumb films - Death Note review by CP Customer
I found Death Note to be a tad disappointing and under whelming. Clearly showing its manga roots, this adaptation maintains a lightweight cartoonish feel to proceedings. What could have been a decent J-Horror instead is watered down to MTV-lite thriller proportions, adopting a characteristic sterile approach to events. Death Note slots in beside One Missed Call, The Unborn and similar releases with ease. The death god for example is deliberately shown as manga CGI, which contrasts badly with the real-life environments he inhabits while following Light’s commands. Some of the acting performances are wooden and the decision to abandon much of what made the printed Death Note so promising can only be seen to be a travesty.
