Death Note[2017]

What a piece of trash! This was like Twilight level bad and it felt like it was made by a 15yo girl.

>if you don't like my movie you're trolling
What a pathetic piece of shit.

I have no idea why Wingard is praised as much as he is. The only relatively decent movie he's made is The Guest, and even that is derivative as fuck, relies on nostalgia, and falls apart near the end.

Really, really bad. Honestly, it's the kind of movie that makes you wonder if anyone even READS these scripts before pledging millions of dollars to fund the production. There are huge, gaping plot holes and failures of logical storytelling every five minutes. Why does nobody bother to speak up and correct things like this? any idiot on IMDB would see the flaws in this story, but a whole team of producers, cast & crew can't be bothered to fix it while they have a chance?

Netflix has 0 over sight and lets creators do what they want

That explains many things.

This!

When Netflix was a new thing they had a "perfect" track record in the tv shows they produced. Every new thing they made was a hit and was good.

I think that ambition got the best of them. They wanted to expand and rival "real" studious and fucked up

Yeah, but there was a team of producers behind Wingard before it ever went to Netflix. They were originally producing this at WB, WB decided not to make it, and it basically went into a bidding war that Netflix won.

I can see why it was attractive for them to release an adaptation of "Death Note." I can't see why that whole team of producers read the script, heard Wingard's pitch, and decided that THIS was the right way to make the movie. You know what I mean? It's weird enough that a sane, functional adult wrote this script and said "good enough, my job here is done." It's even fucking weirder that an entire team of trained professionals poured time, effort and money into making this. And nobody ever pulled Wingard aside and said "this scene doesn't make any fucking sense, these characters don't make any fucking sense, and it would be pretty easy to fix it right now"

Why is his official tumblr page full of porn?

he fuqqed Margaret, didn't he bros?

I'm sure he tried

This guy is the definition of the word "hack." It seems like he honestly doesn't even give a fuck about making a good movie

it was so fucking shit, the writing was so fucking lazy like he put 0 thought into it,

"Lazy" is the right word for it. There were so many little things that could've been fixed or explained by changing/adding one or two lines of dialogue, one image, etc. And they just never bothered to do that.

It really seems like he's just assuming the whole audience is stupider than he is, and nobody would notice all these little inconsistencies, cut corners, etc

You could pick any scene of this movie and write a whole essay about what's wrong with it. Every aspiring filmmaker should watch this movie to understand what a director is supposed to do, and what happens when he's not doing it. I got the impression that the cinematographer & set designer were running the entire production. Everything was designed around "cool images" that actually don't make any fucking sense in terms of plot or character

>Twilight is bad

back to plebbit.

The core fanbase for Death Note is 15 so it all evens out

it does, it's a meme to hate the "suits" and Sony leaks proved it had some merit, but they do add some polish if you're a director who can dismiss their sillier ideas (like Fincher)

This scene right here is a pretty good example. It's pretty small and insignificant in the long run of the movie, so this is gonna seem like autistic nitpicking. But it says a lot about where the director's head is at, and everything that's wrong with this little scene explains how and why he fucks up the more important parts of the film.

Light sits completely alone in the middle of the bleachers, reading his Death Note. Mia seems to be aimlessly wandering around the bleachers, she sits near him and asks what he's reading.

So it's the kind of image that seems like it establishes the high-school setting, it's supposed to provide a visual to illustrate Light's isolation/loneliness, there's a lot of film-school bullshit that seems to "justify" these choices. But it doesn't make any fucking sense. It's like this movie was directed by an alien, who has seen a lot of high-school movies and wants to stage an "iconic image of American high-school life," but lacks the understanding of human behavior necessary to put those images in a context that makes any sense.

Why is he there? It seems like the basketball team is in the middle of a practice session. It's unusual to sit and watch a high-school team practicing. Light is not on the basketball team, he doesn't have any friends on the basketball team, he's not even watching. He sticks out like a sore thumb in the middle of those bleachers, and he's basically examining a murder weapon that he just used to bump off another student. Why does this scene happen in this setting?

The cheerleaders appear to be practicing/stretching too, so maybe he's there to see Mia? But again, he's not watching her, it doesn't seem like she asked him to be there. Nothing is established or explained. It's just a half-assed way for her to notice him with the Death Note and ask about it. This could've easily been accomplished in a way that made sense.

And they apply this thoughtless approach to every scene of the movie.

>AdamWingard
retweeting all the positive praise, jesus

Twitter was a mistake, Adam Wingard was a mistake, Death Note was a mistake

The whole movie had me feeling like I was trying to run on a treadmill and read a map at the same time.

And then the last 30 minutes had me lost in Bizarro world.

>share your secret with a roastie the very next day after getting the death note
>don't spot that the roastie tore out a page
>admit to being Kira the first time you're challenged by Nig L
>convoluted plan to find out L's name when you could have just ordered Watari to kill him

we will probably never know

>L behaving like a nigger when Wataru dies

That didn't bother me that much - this version of L was obviously unstable from the moment he showed up, Wataru was basically his "handler" that helped him exist around normal people. So he wasn't just grieving, he was on his own for the first time in his life, and he's obviously not the type of person equipped to be independent.

But as soon as he pulled out that stupid "Blade Runner" gun, it was retarded again

Can't wait for his I Saw The Devil remake!

>Artist
>Movie has not one but TWO scenes where shitty songs play in the background during emotional moments

He's reading the thread guys.

Quick, say something nice!

>hey guise I was just trolling the trollers, I was merely pretending
We're getting to high levels of autism with this one.

Artists shouldn't respond to their critics like this, that's like rule #1.

Where's a good place to watch this shit?

Netflix

This is why Twitter was a mistake.

If you think this is bad check out comicbook creators on twitter.

Twitter is fucking amazing:
