Could have been better…
As much as I do like the L character from the “Death Note” franchise, then this movie just didn’t offer as much as I had hoped for. It was certainly better than the first “Death Note” movie, but I will say that it was approximately as entertaining as “Death Note: The Last Name” (part two of the movies), but lacking a bit in its story.

As with the previous movies, despite this being a stand-alone movie, then Ken’ichi Matsuyama carried the role of L with flair and perfection. And with this actor in the lead you kind of tend not to focus too much about the lack of a deeper storyline. And, personally, I found it to be a treat that Tatsuya Fujiware (who played Light in the previous movies) wasn’t appearing in this movie.

If you watched the previous movies mostly for the death gods Ryuk and/or Rem, then there is very Little for you to get excited about in “L: Change the World”.

While the storyline wasn’t the deepest or most thought through of stories, then the movie does wrap up the story of L quite nicely in the wake of “Death Note” and “Death Note: The Last Name”.

poorly conceived and badly written, but L is still cool
I’m sure everyone agrees that L was by far the more interesting character in the Death Note movies, thanks to a charmingly weird geek-cool performance from Kenichi Matsuyama, possibly channelling Johnny Depp. As such you can’t blame the producers for giving him his own spin-off/sequel… only for making it so bad.

The problem, in a nutshell, is that the writers have missed the point on practically everything that made the Death Note films interesting. The intriguing mystical lore about the Death Notes and their keepers is all forgotten about, which is probably better than trying to contrive some re-entrance for them – except that it’s replaced by a feeble pseudo-science deadly virus tale that even the cheesiest of direct-to-video American films would be ashamed of. The high level mind games that drove the plot of DN are almost entirely gone – L’s opponents are a dim-witted bunch, and in their place is a countdown to destruction and an entirely unforgivable attempt at an action-packed finale. Ugh.

Worst of all, they decided that what L really needed was humanising – to whit, a back-story that reveals him to be part of an alphabetically codenamed secret organisation fighting crime under the stewardship of Watari, and a plot that leaves him taking care of two young children for most of the film. Matsuyama tries his best, and his presentation of L still manages to be simultaneously super-cool and super-cute, but there’s only so much he can do with the ill-conceived storyline and juvenile scripting. There are some moments that do work, but they are in a minority. Worth seeing if you enjoyed the Death Note films, just to tie things up, but set your expectations for it several notches down.
