L: Change the world
22 February 2008
Warning: Spoilers
It may not be the best death note movie but it still keep same thrills and suspense. I always like a second sequel for death note and it did come true. This time, horror director Hideo Nakata directs it. When I heard that he was the one to direct L, I knew he would made it thrilling like his other horror movies. I was hoping that he would not screw up the second sequel which is a prequel. At least, Hideo Nakata still kept L's unusual behavior and that is good.

The story: It is the last 23 days of L. It is basically after death note 2 wen Light died, he still have 23 days left to live. He used the 23 days to stop the virus breakout. L is still smart as to outwit his opponents. His opponents want to the virus to spread to the world. I was disappointed that the villains basically just fight, kill and did not really think, at least make them more smarter. L always outwit them and they never had a chance to outwit him. From there, it is a cat and mouse chase. L still have his habits like eating sweet things. It is the first time you will see L in a bit of action. The thrilling story will unfold in this action-packed movie with non-stop music.

Overall: If you are a fan of death note, you should catch this. It may not be related to death note but it has thrilling plot with suspense although it is predictable. While it may have its good and bad points, it is still good to catch it in cinema as you can feel the atmosphere tense. It may not be the best death note movie, but I like it and it is good.
