I thought the live action movies were great..I mean sure the second one lost it (a lot) through the poorly translated subtitles which in some cases were funny…..but I saw them before I had started watching the anime, I think the actor that played L did a better job then the anime did….anyway that’s my personal opinion

Deathnote Live action: I like the graphics too

nckl – Live Action Death Note was indeed a painful experience for me (and Rachel) too. By crossing out “worst adaptation ever, I figured it wouldn’t totally upset any of the super-fans. You’ll get to hear what Rachel really thought of it sometime soon!

conankudo4 – I liked some of what they did with the character animation for Ryuk and Rem. Unfortunately, the compositing was a bit ‘off’ and they didn’t look photo-realistic. The Shinigami Realm scenes look top-notch, but that’s because everything was CG. If the whole movie had been done that way, Ryuk would have been awesome!

For the Deathnote Live action:

The graphics were amazing.

Everything else failed. Royally.

Aawww. Why did you cross out “worst adaptation ever” ? I admit I didn’t see the first one, but I saw the second one and for the first time in my life in all my years of seeing movies at a cinema, I nearly walked out of it 10 minutes into the movie. It was embarrassingly bad.
