Death Note Netflix Live Action
Death Note is originally an anime created by Tsugumi Ohba from 2003 to 2006.
If I haven’t watched the anime (which I did, years ago Netflix published the live action) I would have given this film a 6.
I love Netflix and I’m a big fan of a lot of Netflix originals but this one could be way better.
Since I watched the anime, it was painfully horrendous to watch the film.
Netflix basically followed the introduction of the anime and made a whole new thing out of it giving it the same name.

Aladdin.

Beauty and the Beast.

Cinderella.

The Jungle Book.

The Lion King.

Pinnochio

And Mulan.

What do they all have in common? Answer: they're all live action reimaginings of animated movies.

From that aforementioned list, this is also the only one I haven't actually seen the original of, so can't really compare (except I know the original had Eddie Murphy voicing a character), and that the basic plot is about a girl pretending to be a bloke to join the Imperial army.

This also actually had more mystical/magical elements in it than I was expecting for a live action movie, what with the whole 'witch' turning into birds thing and the Phoenix, but was also curiously 'dead' and not really all that involving.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017)

A good but sadly inferior sequel
This film suffers from what 95% of sequels all suffer from; they never live up to the originals. The problem with The Golden Circle is that it has a lot to live up to. The original Kingsman film came out of nowhere, with little expectations & it was truly marvellous. And sadly the sequel doesn't quite live up to this.

As sequels go, it's still pretty good. The action scenes were great, the plot was interesting and Julianne Moore makes for an interesting baddie. Even the addition of the Statesman was a smart move & added something different, and it's always good to see Colin Firth back


The problem however is that this film has a far more serious tone than the first. There's humour, just not as much. And the action scenes although good (especially those with Whiskey), none of them could live up to that epic church scene from the first film. Theres also the issue that a lot of the film had been shown in the various trailers, and finally, it could've done with a little more Channing Tatum and a little less Elton John.

Christopher Robin (2018)

2018 | Adventure, Animation, Comedy
Christopher Robin (2018) is less a celebration of childhood innocence than an inquest into parental guilt. #Review
Disney’s latest live-action reinterpretation of its hallowed back catalogue is also easily one of its most muddled, despite the fact it's treading a very similar path to the one “Hook” forged nearly thirty years ago...

Hilarious story of a foul mouthed hard drinking teddy bear we all wish we had as a buddy.
Seth voices Ted to great effect and its rapport with Wahlberg will have you in stitches.
A solid and very fun move to live action that would spawn a sequel with more of the same, which ain't a bad thing!
