[A] lazy cash grab ... Go to Full Review
Rachel Chan The New Paper (Singapore) Sep 20, 2017
The film is just a wild goose chase with a predictable plot, which is quite disappointing. Go to Full Review
Francisco Marinero El Mundo (Spain) Apr 27, 2017
A chaotic and conventional action spectacle where a group of ridiculously histrionic ghosts enter in scene entangling an overly arbitrary intrigue. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
Edmund Lee South China Morning Post Dec 13, 2016

A thrilling but sometimes illogical piece of pulp entertainment that is crafted with impressive style. Go to Full Review

3/5
The twist at the end is quite a whopper and it leaves the door wide open for the next movie chapter. Go to Full Review

Finn R Nov 11, 2018 A completely twist to Death Note series, still worthy to watch.
Poe S May 6, 2018 My least favorite of the four, but still enjoyed it.
George S Nov 17, 2017 Story is fine, but plots are quite sluggish to its transitions. Background tracks based on situation is quite hilarious. Like, when tension is built, background goes on with some sorta meditation music, which is sufficient enough to lose interest of the plot. In summary, didn't meet expectation. See more
Draco S May 27, 2017 Not too campy as I worried, but not really good either - another disappointment in fact. A totally unnecessary sequel for two pretty decent films, with a cast that lacks the charisma of the duo Tatsuya Fujiwara-Kenichi Matsuyama of the previous parts, and a predictable plot with very disappointing third act. If Hollywood must be blamed for their failed attempts to adapt manga for the big screen, Japanese cinema also has its fair share of responsibility in degrading Japan's superb manga works with crappy cinematic adaptations. I haven't seen a good "live action" for years, and don't expect such thing come any time soon either. See more
Kylo S May 11, 2017 a new generation of Death Note, totally not bad at all :) Much more confusing than the originals
Kylo S May 6, 2017 This installment takes a huge dump on the movie franchise. Desecrating the memory of the two iconic characters of Kira and L. Spoliers. Unless english subs are to be blamed there is no way Kira had fathered a child within the first two movies and L would not have had a clone! See more
