There was something particularly dumb...

The book says something along the lines of don't trust Ryuk...

But later in the movie Ryuk says "you can try writing my name, it's only 4 letters long... but the farthest anyone has gotten was 2"

That's contradictory

I was assuming that was meant to imply his name isn't actually spelled R-Y-U-K and that spelling is just a phonetic approximation of how to say his name. Still stupid, since in the source material it's explained away as you can't kill Shinigami with a Death Note, and that line could be just as easily uttered.
