L Changed MY WORLD!
WARNING: THIS MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS

I just came back from a movie. It's 12am right now; Yes, you're not mistaken. It's midnight but god, I'm in a total spazz mode for this movie I watched a while ago.

L ~Change the World~


"L ~Change the World~" was surprisingly pretty good. I sort of expected this movie to be boring, judging from the fact that the Death Note book would no longer exist in this movie and it was a whole new storyline with not much scenes of the previous cast from Death Note I & II. I kinda anticipated to fall asleep in this movie.

But, oh boy, was I wrong!

The plot was planned out well and the character development was really good. The suspense at some parts were killing! I was impressed at how they can actually pull everything together(when there is no longer any 'Light Vs L' kind of plot). The plot had a few twists here and there but I wont specify them because I know that some of you who's reading this may not have watched it yet. The whole movie was basically about environmental(insane!) terrorists who wants to destroy(or in their words; 'reduce the human population') to "protect" the Earth's ecosystem. They believed that the existence of humans was destroying mother earth and so, they plan to wipe all of us out by releasing this deadly virus which was first tested in a small village in Thailand - where a little boy escaped unharmed. L, who had wrote his name in the Death Note book(and burned it later) only had 23 days left to live and he plans to solve this last case before he leaves for more sweets in heaven.

The pace at the beginning was kinda slow but as the plot develops, it got more of my attention and not to mention that L is so undeniably cute and funny! HAHA!


I found L's character very amusing and more entertaining than the previous movies; he eats lots of sweets(which he later claims to be 'brain food'), types on his computer with two fingers(if he happens to not use one of them to put in his mouth), holds a book with two fingers as well and yeah practically does most things with two fingers. HAHA! XD But I've got to say that he was and will be my all-time favorite character from the Death Note series. Ken'ichi Matsuyama is just so cute!! BIG Applause to him and his good acting! He definitely brought out the best of L! And gah, I found him hot in the movie!


GAHH! Those intense eyes! *faints*
Shit, maybe this is a sign of me getting into gothic-looking guys. =X

To be honest, I couldn't really accept the fact that my favorite character would die when I first found out from the manga. We all know the ending of this movie even before watching it; L's going to die. That's the devastating part! It's sad when I had to watch him make the best out of his last 23 days and knows that he was going to die. I practically shed a few tears when it came to this part when he left Maki(the little girl) a message in her teddy bear. GOD! That was the time when my tears just keep falling!

Although this movie may not be the best out of the 3 Death Note movies, I still think it's worth to watch whether you're a fan or not. It's definitely entertaining, I guarantee that. SO GO WATCH IT NOW!

So there, 2 cents of my thoughts for this movie.
And before I leave, here's a small sweet cookie to sustain your hunger for a while.

I would rate this movie: 3.8/5
