I don't blame them for looking somehow different from their drawn predecessors... So I forgot about my favorite L and was entertained by these living creatures, and I must say they delivered what I expected quite adequately. And even my sister didn't fall asleep – that's saying something! ;-) She usually sleeps through anything that airs after 10pm, but she loved this one :-) (25.01.2009)

The film is quite well stylized, but otherwise it just shows how well the manga "Death Note" is written. Essentially, exactly what is in the manga has been transferred to the movie screen. The added value is mainly that there are real actors here. Ryuk is absolutely brilliant, he looks stunning in this form. But that's already in the manga. Truly great character, who deserves a different, not just comedic role. His entrance is breathtaking. Live-action manga, that's the term that best describes this adaptation. (23.10.2013)
