I must admit I am not a follower of the original Death Note manga, and actually any other manga. But, I know of its existence and the buzz surrounding the film which is why I checked on latest movie.
A quick search on the Internet reveals that Death Note first began as a manga series in Japan originally written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata. The series mainly centers around a high school student who decides to rid the world of evil with the help of a supernatural notebook!
The Death Note movie is pretty much the same as the manga with small and little modifications. The plot below tells it all.
Light Yagami is a brilliant, but bored, high school student who resents the crime and corruption in the world. His life undergoes a drastic change when he discovers a mysterious notebook, known as the “Death Note”, lying on the ground in the year 2003. The Death Note’s instructions claim that, if a human’s name is written within it, that person shall die. Light is initially skeptical of the Death Note’s authenticity, believing it is just a prank. However, after experimenting with it and killing two criminals, Light is forced to admit the Death Note is real. After meeting with the true owner of the Death Note, a shinigami named Ryuk, Light seeks to become “the God of the new world” by passing his judgment on criminals.
