Featured review
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".
