Philosophical conversation. BOOM BANG EXCITEMENT. Death Note really kept the excitement throughout even the philosophical conversations because there was so much in store for all of the characters, and it demonstrated its intelligence rather than had the characters sit down and talk about it through lengthy dialogue.

To each his own taste. What you consider boring many considered interesting. These anime are some of the first anime that received worldwide attention, and critical acclaim.

And that is why they'll keep making movies that don't differ from each other - the same CGI stories for children with HAHA situations and jokes that only adults can understand. And that is why they'll never move to anything different. Japanese animation gives what Americans don't and they don't need much CGI for that, Myazaki and Satoshi Kon perfectly show it.
