Check Out This Clip From DEATH NOTE Featuring Ryuk Introducing Himself To Light

A new clip from Death Note has given us our first good look at Ryuk as he introduces himself to Light, and...well I'll let you go in clean before I soil you with my opinion.

I'm not a fan of shadow Ryuk, so hopefully, we get a little color on the guy and a full picture as the film continues. I also wasn't too crazy about the acting in this scene, and if I'm being honest I didn't like any of what I saw at all. For me, this is a bad sign. Maybe I'm just too cynical to give the film a chance, did anyone feel differently? 

Death Note follows a high school student who comes across a supernatural notebook, realizing it holds within it a great power; if the owner inscribes someone's name into it while picturing their face, he or she will die. Intoxicated with his new godlike abilities, the young man begins to kill those he deems unworthy of life.

The Netflix original film is directed by Adam Wingard (Blair Witch, You're Next). The movie also stars Paul Nakauchi (Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End)Shea Whigham (American Hustle) and Willem Dafoe (Spider-Man) as the voice of Ryuk.   

The film hits Netflix on August 25th,
