It's disgusting how Hollywood acts as though we will all turn into xenophobes and ignore anything which isn't another shitty, edgy movie with loads of action and romance. Naruto, Dragonball, Death Note, and so many other shows are loved in the West. This movie should've been good at the worst.

I don't get this?

Many live action adaptations tried too hard to be what they aren't. Dragonball Evolutions, Street fighter, and many other games with movie(s) tend to not have what makes their franchise special.

 

No one said this had to be a copy of the source. No one cares if L is black or if Misa is slightly smarter. The dramatic changes however turn it into a forgettable and awful movie.

 

We don't need action scenes, explosions, and romance in every movie we see.
