The live-action Death Note spin-off movie "L: change the worLd" has finally come out in Japanese theaters, leaving those of us on the other side of the Pacific wondering if it's anything like its predecessors. Well one online reviewer by the name of Kroze got a chance to catch it, & reports to us all his take on it.

Unfortunately, he didn't really like it that much. He pretty much said that this movie is just meant for fans of the Death Note series & isn't really intended for those not in love with its world. It certainly isn't meant for newcomers, as anyone not familiar with the manga, movies, or anime wont really understand what's going on. His opening paragraph summarizes his feelings best:


Yay, a spin-off of the Death Note movies starring the loveable and strange detective L (Kenichi Matsuyama)! Too bad the film's really not that good, though to be honest, die-hard fans of Matsuyama's popular take on L will likely not care that much. L: Change the World is neither groundbreaking nor noteworthy, and exists mainly as fan service for the people who can't get enough of the slouching, sweets-loving bishonen detective who outwitted the dastardly Light Yagami (Tatsuya Fujiwara) in those Death Note movies. Rabid fans of the blockbuster manga adaptations will probably find this to be a suitable reward for their unabated fandom. However, the uninitiated may need to take a crash course in Death Note lore. It's either that, or wonder why everyone is so excited to see a movie about a modern rock refugee with bad posture.
