I have liked mostly everything I have seen from this so far.

 

[ArgyleReptile]

So far Willam Dafoe and the guy playing L are looking like the best parts, especially compared to the dude playing Light. I might finally read the series to prepare for this.

 

[kunonabi]

Movie continues to look awful.

 

[conpfreak]

Light's actor is a miscast. Everyone else looks fine but the actor doesn't pull off the hubris that really makes the character. He doesn't seem to have the chops for the character from what we've seen so far. L looks less awkward in this scene than Light does.

 

[Galang]

Honestly he made L likeable. Never got the fangasms over L as he's one of the most annoying antagonists I've ever encountered. Evil prick. Seems like this movie has an upside at least. I'll be rooting for L in this version

 

[diablos991]

This movie will be a trainwreck, right?

Yup.
Just watch the trailer.

It's not good.

They messed messed up both the main characters.

 

[xRaizen]

Ugh, it's as bad as I thought it would be. I don't like any of the cast besides Dafoe.

 

[Gravy Boat]

Once you stop comparing this to the anime and think of it as it's own unique thing, it's looking pretty good. I'm actually glad they didn't just do a condensed remake of the anime.

 

[ElMexiMerican]

The way this is shot feels awkward as hell and is not selling me on either character. Seems like they're both hamming it up.

 

[squall23]

I really don't like how not-confident Light is in this compared to the original.

 

[Dynamite Ringo Matsuri]

I'm in for Dafoe who's really the only one killing it in any of the clips I've seen. Giving Wingard a chance since I liked The Guest and Blair Witch and loved You're Next

 

[Kneefoil]

This looks really fan-made, lol.

Agreed. L's actor wasn't terrible, though.

I mean in his defense, some motherfucker in a balaclava just interrupted his sweet tunes and is sitting on a chair like an idiot

That motherfucker in balaclava is a world wide famous detective, and just happens to sit right next to light. Most other people who would try to ask all sorts of questions, and geek out but Light just tries his fastest to gtfo.
