Honestly, not as good as i was hoping it would be. There are a few moments that makes one jump but other than that.. it was just lotsa heavy breathing underwater XD All i can say is, once they mentioned bout the nitrogen causing hallucination part, i sorta see it coming, that it's gonna happen to one of them, it was a good twist but not really unexpected. Another part that was kinda stupid was, when they reached the surface and the rest was like asking them to swim, to me it was like really? There's a shark after them and you'd think they can swim faster than a shark? I'd throw them the float and tell them to hang on tight and prolly start the boat and bring them closer to the shore first, not driving too fast of course... At least, create some distance from the shark first or something :/ Then again, i know nothing bout driving a boat nor being an injured shark food and holding on for dear life when half of it is in the shark's tummy XD anndddd It was juz a hallucination anyway~ One thing's for sure, Mandy is the lucky one!
Another movie that portrays sharks as sadistic serial killers, but hey at least this one has a decent story line and an actual plot twist that makes it fun to watch. Also Claire Holt is babe.
This was bad! A total snooze fest with terrible acting and a shitty story that lacks any logic. If this didn't actually have Japanese producers behind I would even call it offensive... As pointed out in my previous comment on here: Barrett based his screenplay on a story of J.T. Petty but never got the full payment (back then) nor heard anything about it's further development. The credits now show three of the producers with the "Story by" and also Eiji Otsuka as an adviser who apparently was also supposed to write a book with a chapter about this Temple which then would then get adapted by Toei Animation. J.T. Petty is a "special thanks" btw.. Not really surprised this turned out as it did.
Despite the good efforts to connect the movies, it feels more and more and more forced.
They managed to do what I feared since watching the Death Note trailers, a tremendous shit !! Do they have so much content to be worked on in a movie and make it epic and make me such a crappy script badly structured, these mediocre and forced scenes, and the character development? there is not! Are all shallow and unimportant in the film. The Light looks more like a bite that is always being manipulated by the girl. The L? A spoiled little playboy who at the beginning of the air of "oh he's thinking" arrives in the middle of the movie and you say "what the fuck is he doing ?!" Even if it were not compared to the original story, the film would already be a complete failure. Now imagine comparing? They shit ugly in the movie, that's a fact!
Light= crybaby
L= over emotional
Mia= Badass villain?
Ryuk= Cool, but wasted
Okay, i'd rather watch boku no pico than this crap again.
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO AND AGAIN A BIG NOOO! Sure i wasn't expecting much but damn it they had a really good material in their hands to actually do something awesome. And what they did was absolute shit. No mate. If you want to use the name of Death Note, even if you dont do a direct adaptation there are still some key things that you had to keep. Light for example. My god wasn't he awful. Light was supposed to be a trully brilliant psychopath, cold with no empathy what so ever and really good tactician. But this dude. My god. A dumb,angry teenager with not a drop of brain in his head.Testosterone speake dto him , since he did all that to impress that freakin cheerleader. What men do to f@#k. And L. He was supposed to be as brilliant as Kira. They had something going on there. Here L found out who Kira was in one sec. No brilliance there. And towards the end he turned into a sentimental brat.
Ryuk was actually the only good thing in this whole movie and they only gave him like 10 lines.
I laughed hard at the scene on the ferris wheel and the song they used in this one. OMG it was hilarious. Just it didnt fit this scene. It was totally ridiculus.
No. I really warn you. I was going to watch this for the heck of it, but at least i expected they would try just a little.If you are an anime fan like i am do yourself a favour and don't watch this shit. Even if you completely try to forget the original this still is a shitty movie. Shame on you Netflix. I hope if you ever try to brutally murder a good anime in the future, you do a much better job.
I was well aware that this "Death Note" was going to be a liberal adaptation of the source material but by the midpoint my patience ran out: whhhhhyyyy u do dis? This is coming from someone who associated the name "Adam Wingard" with good movies (up until Blair Witch anyways) and is not only here because of the anime avatar... He pretty much added insult to the injury by adding misguided gore effects, neon-lightning and picking the wrong songs to cue.
According to interviews the IP has been passed around in the industry for a while and has been rewritten a bunch during this (and it shows). So who exactly at Netflix figured this would reach a broader audience than the anime already did when they're replacing the core dynamics and traits that made it popular outside it's medium in the first place? Really disappointed with this... it's just a half backed adaptation restrained by it's need to keep the characters while going for a direction that doesn't really lend to them (the note could have fallen into the hands of ANYONE, no need to butcher). 90 minutes is also way to short as the flow is terrible.
This is almost on comical levels of adaption and overall movie quality similar to The Last Airbender and Dragonball Evolution. The only slightly good thing about this is Willem Dafoe as Ryuk and he only has like 15 lines.
Don't watch it. It's a bullshit adaption and a shit movie. Don't reward Netflix by watching this.
Complete waste of time. Poor visual effects, poor script and overall just a bunch of bad actors. Especially the Jamal character, who, when he's on camera, can't seem to get out a single sentence without flailing his arms around like a mad man and is overacting every scene he's in. He's just annoying and he reminds me of JarJar Binks for some reason...
Really poor, just skip this one.
Poorly acted and boring as hell.
This was quite the disappointment. It was a weak story, unsympathetic main characters and a completely weird and unnecessary romantic storyline. Looks fantastic, but that's literally it.
Watch as though a child and don't let the more annoying performances, lackluster script, and none-too-subtle social justice statements laced throughout get to you and you'll be fine. I'm not going to lie - this movie has some serious issues, but if you can reign in your expectations and just enjoy it for the visual majesty it is (and on the big screen in 3D), then you got a shot enjoying yourself.
found footage is one of my favorite sub genre! im waiting for a movie that says to me "damn! the genre its not dead!" :( ... this is not that movie...
This movie was dumb, aggressively dumb. It was like someone watched Battle Royale and thought to themselves, I can do that. How dare they leave it open ended. This doesn't deserve a sequel.
I wanted to attend a screening of "Grave" (now re-titled to "Raw") almost a year ago from today but it was canceled so I have been looking forward to it's regular release ever since. The general press continued to hype this up, the trailer looked quite dope and even Mondo jumped on the wagon doing the OST pressings... expectations high [✓] (check).
As one can already see by my rating they were not met at all... I was even more so offended that it got that much praise. Frankly put: the movie sucks.
I don't quite understand what it is that some people saw in this... maybe they're vegetarians or just got distracted by the shlock.
The so-so concept which consists of elements all done before is terribly under baked. The changes occurring in the main girl are not really grounded in her character but rely on music or shlock scenes to progress but even with those I feel duped. Nothing in the setting helps to support the story (and it's nonsense) and instead makes the whole thing seem even more unrealistic and distracts with some overly edgy bullshit.
As the movie progresses it just falls apart even more and looses it's focus, building towards a tonally misguided ending. It almost felt like a joke.
The only positive thing I can say that the cinematography is quite good for the most part ¯_(ツ)_/¯...
Its hard to feel any sympathy for these characters in this not quite horror movie with an arthouse feel.
Better than the first one, especially in terms of story and action scenes, though there are still too many WTFs and too much Keanu to really let this one shine.
Another version of people running around attempting to find essential supplies and avoid zombie infection. Zombie plots are zombie plots... nothing fresh here, except that apparently Glenn Close is having difficulty getting memorable acting gigs. A new season of "Damages" would be much more enjoyable than yet another zombie production.
