this film have fk all to do with death note whatsoever . it felt like they just slot a few of the character and a few reference into a completely unrelated script . if they would have treat the movie separately it might have be well but a it stand it just a blatant excuse to cash in on the good will generate by the first 2 death note movie which i think be excellent . it a shame because i like the director and hideo nakata and i think the ring movie be great and even the u remake be alright and the direction here be not the problem . the problem be brand the whole thing to rope in an establish audience to generate some cash . come on and please do not treat your punter with such disrespect . now and i have nothing more to say on the subject and thank you move along .
