Query: Death Note Movie?

[retsuko]

To my friends who have seen the "Death Note" live action movie: is it worth seeing on the big screen?

And is it worth paying $11 a ticket to do so, or should I just Netflix it and be done?

Is the movie disappointing, compared to the manga?

I was pretty excited to see that AMC is showing it in May, but then the preview looked really convoluted and I thought I might want to get some outside perspective before I bought anything.

Thanks in advance!

Aw, rats! The one thing I had heard was supposed to be good! Ryuk needs to be properly menacing. :/
