Good Things:
The movie has good pacing and a protagonist with a clear motivation who is smart and charismatic. You don't agree with his motives, but you understand them.
I liked the lead and thought he did a good job, along with everyone else. The acting was terrific.
As someone who isn't really that nostalgic for the show, I'll say I though the casting for Light and L was pretty good.
Bad Things:
The story kind of left me unsatisfied, since it's kind of split into two parts, but that's to be expected.
The CG for Ryuk was literal cancer, it looked like a video game that came out when the movie was released, it just looked awful.
I was mad they didn't include the potato chip eating scene. They show a fracture of it, but that's it. Like, what the hell? This scene need to be SEEN, IT NEEDS TO BE WITNESSED, IT THIS LITERALLY THE GREATEST SCENE IN CINEAMATIC HISTORY! WHY THEY INCLUDE SCENE?????????!!!!!!!!!
Final Thoughts:
Overall, I think this is a decent adaptation of the show, 7/10
