i be sure everyone agree that l be by far the more interesting character in the death note movie and thanks to a charmingly weird geek cool performance from kenichi matsuyama and possibly channel johnny depp . a such you can not blame the producer for give him his own spin off or sequel . only for make it so bad . the problem and in a nutshell and be that the writer have miss the point on practically everything that make the death note film interest . the intriguing mystical lore about the death note and their keeper be all forgotten about and which be probably well than try to contrive some re entrance for them except that it replace by a feeble pseudo science deadly virus tale that even the cheesiest of direct to video american film would be ashamed of . the high level mind game that drive the plot of dn be almost entirely go l opponent be a dim witted bunch and and in their place be a countdown to destruction and an entirely unforgivable attempt at an action pack finale . ugh . bad of all and they decide that what l really need be humanise to whit and a back story that reveal him to be part of an alphabetically codenamed secret organisation fight crime under the stewardship of watari and and a plot that leave him take care of two young child for most of the film . matsuyama try his best and and his presentation of l still manage to be simultaneously super cool and super cute and but there only so much he can do with the ill conceive storyline and juvenile scripting . there be some moment that do work and but they be in a minority . worth see if you enjoy the death note film and just to tie thing up and but set your expectation for it several notch down .
