The first 15 minutes is like seeing a japanese otome (aka visual novels where the main character is a clumsy rookie journalist, who by chance meet a millionarie and famous guy and bla, blah, blah).

@cluisanna A really boring and misogynistic one. Cheers.
Good movie with an interesting story and plot.

It's OK but korean original is much better. Please watch the original korean film from 2003 instead (or before this one).
Hopefully this isn't another bad live action adaption

@walrus_master Sadly, it is. It was released yesterday.
It isn't that bad, on a premises of completely forgetting the original manga/anime and instead thinking of this as an american spin-off.
The cinematography was very pleasant.
Story a bit shallow, maybe because we're so used to western pictures. This was turned from something very dark and profound to a want-to-be smart romance supernatural story.
It is although worth a watch.

@king-corn IIf they wanted an USA spin-off, they should at least changed Light's name, for respect to the real Yagami Light. Why didn't they create a new version where a random teenager finds the Death Note in USA? Like the spin-offs Japan is currently making (not implying those are good). Biy it would have worked better. Yagami Raito would have gave that Turner guy, that L and that Mia all hearts attacks because he wouldn't have even botter to waste more time with them.
This movie is absolutely amazing and I don't understand all the negative reviews. Really? You didn’t understand what this movie is about? Really? You were expecting a horror, fantastical movie?
Let me make it easy for you. This movie is about depression. Being at a strange place. Not feeling belonging to a place. This is like Lars von Trier’s Melancholia. Except this is much better and less boring than Lars von Trier’s movie.
I was planing on watching this movie in 2-3 sittings thinking it will be slow but this movie completely surprised me and I watched it from start to end. Juno Temple plays so well in this and I could completely understand her pain.

It didn't work for me probably because I'm from Chile, and chileans (from the capital city of Santiago and from the south) are depicted wrongly (even when the director is chilean himself).
