Apparently, Japanese movies’ CGI might hardly compare to American ones. And Netflix is a popular production house for making great CGI with other studios involved. Therefore, the Death Note movie is satisfying in terms of visual effects. Every scene of Ryuk, the main Shinigami, is very much the highlight of the film. Otherwise, he is also the character with the most spotlight.

#2. Ryuk’s Voice And Look

As mentioned above, he is the spotlight of this adaptation. Therefore, it is reasonable to invest in this character’s voice and look. He impressed everyone with his accuracy in the manga/anime variant. Willem Dafoe and Jason Liles joined together to portray this fascinating “death spirit”.

He played L in Death Note who is also one of the most recognized characters from the franchise. Previously, there were so many famous actors portraying this special character successfully. However, Stanford did a great job in recreating his version yet expressing the character’s spirit. Whoever watched the show had to admit that he did research and nail it to demonstrate such a complex role. 

#4. An Exciting Experience

Well, Netflix’s adaptation might not be the best Death Note movie. Anyways, it is still worth watching for a new experience. It is never easy to put a story originally set in Japan into Seattle. For Death Note’s hard fans, this movie is only visually stunning but lacking in content. Otherwise, director Adam Wingard did bring in new flavors for a classic franchise.
