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!

I would really like to see L, too. But if Raito/Light/what-eva isn't all that great, the cat and mouse could be pretty disappointing.
