Opinions on 'Death Note' are mixed, with some viewers appreciating the modern twist and the portrayal of Ryuk, while others feel it falls short of the original manga and anime. Many found the adaptation too Americanized and lacking in depth, with a confusing plot and subpar acting. Despite these criticisms, a few enjoyed the film as a standalone piece, unaware of its source material.

👍 Ryuk's portrayal was well-received.

👎 May disappoint fans of the original series.
