First of all, I don't know why some people dis this movie- saying "This has nothing to do with Death Note". For the record, that's because it isn't supposed to have anything to do with Death Note.
I went to HMV last weekend and when I saw this movie, I had to buy it- I am a huge fan of L and seeing the title and cover I thought this would be a good watch. I was right.
From the beginning, I enjoyed this movie. I liked that the last days of L's life were spent solving a case,visiting Wammys and smiling?:D I also liked Near's appearance, and no offence but they weren't going to find a Thai boy with white hair. Near was very sweet and his liking for toys and genius ability showed during the course of the movie.
Maki was an interesting character, by the end I had started to like her, In the beginning I despised her to be honest.
I cried at the ending, it was very touching. Showing this was the end. L's final words were very moving and he actually smiled!
L fans will enjoy this movie a lot, I think.
All in all, this was a very good watch and I'm glad that I bought it.
8/10.
