Yeah, they changed tons of stuff in the movie, changed the order some events happen and even created some new ones. Which, in return, caused dozens of plot holes the anime didn’t have.
Just follow the damn anime! The movie just mixed everything up. But I have to say there’s a VERY good decision there: Near and Mello.-How the movie is worse than the anime: Events out of order/new events which causes plot holes. Acting (yeah I know I’m comparing acting with voice acting, but fuck it).-How the movie is better than the anime: The only thing they got right, L should be the only one able to defeat Kira, not Near, not Mello, those 2 are made of bullshit and the second half of the anime is frustrating (why would Kira trust that stupid sidekick?).Overall I say the anime is Death Note as it should be, and the movie is just milking the series carelessly. (don’t know about the manga, even though I think it’s better)Also, try not to get angry just for the sake of getting angry. You’re forcing jokes and errors in the movie which actually don’t make any difference.
He's not a very known reviewer, but it's nice to see someone reviewing Live Actions.
