Well Hollywood didn't do Death Note it was Netflix. It was also Netflix's version of the story not a retelling of the Anime/Manga.
I would have been fine with this doing the same if it wasn't for the fact they tried to copy most of Brotherhood and bits of the original release.

If u got Netflix give it a go, Don't expect anything grand and know its Netflix's version. Not a Anime to Live version like this.

It looks like utter shit. Like all anime movies.

The anime itself is the most overrated series ever. I've crawled through some 10 episodes and I was annoyed by childish humour on one hand and stale plot on the other, and even if I hadn't doubted general audience's judgment before, I sure as hell started after seeing it was ranked 1 of all time on MAL. It had decent moments, like that episode with that girl's mutation (which seems to be the title picture for the trailer), but it was buried under all the goofyness.
It doesn't matter, though I'm assuming you're expecting him to say "the 2003 one" and then you'll try explaining that Brotherhood is much better, even though aside from some filler episodes in the 2003 series, they're about the same.
Full Metal Alchemist is overrated, I guess. As far as anime goes or whatever. It was a series that had the plot and atmosphere of a thriller/light-action yet forced bad anime humor and hokey fight sequences into the mix. It's a shitty action anime with a story that only dares to be interesting, which is a shame.
Because its literally a NETFLIX MOVIE.
There is a difference in Netflix Original Movie and Netflix Movie.

Umm ya I did expect that and no they are not about the same not even close. Only like the first 5 Episodes are the same and that's it.

Different strokes then, You could give the original release a try if you have any interest at all. I figured that was the one you was talking about, I have seen many say they liked one but not the other.

I was totally burned, TBH. It might be that the anime picks up later and starts deserving the scores, in which case I'm missing out, but it's rare for me to drop a series, and I did drop this. Not really interested investing another 15 hours or so on the off chance it might be worth it.
That will very per person, I personally have seen that happen. I disagree with the atmosphere being the same. But it all really comes down to opinion.

Right and that's why its just called A Netflix Flim and not Netflix Original Flim.
Once again learn the difference.

I'll give Full Metal Alchemist this: It may be overrated but it's still one of the better anime series out there. I think you're hardpressed to give an objective argument for it being of lower quality compared to any other given anime.

They are literally the same exact show except they follow different stories. It's almost an objective statement to say they have the same atmosphere.
Honestly though if you watch the 2003 series and don't like it and then say "I'll give Brotherhood a try" I dunno how the hell you'd manage to make it past the absolutely terrible first episode.
