"No matter how gifted, you alone cannot change the world. But that's the wonderful thing about this world."

Haha, remember when I watched the first two Death Note movies about a year ago? Yup, I waited a year until I watched the third part.

Death Note: L Change The World basically has no connection to the two previous movies. Well, obviously it has some, like... At the beginning L says he needs to go to Japan, because Kira is most likely hiding in Japan. Anyway, in the end of the second movie - and this might ruin the plot for you if you haven't seen the two previous movies - L outwitted Light Yagami, also known as Kira, by writing his own name in the Death Note. That way, Kira can't kill L, but L has 23 days left after Kira is taken down. And L Change The World takes place during those 23 days.

Someone has created a powerful virus weapon, that is hundred times the infectious rate of Ebola, if I remember that part correctly. But the weapon cannot be used without the antidote. Creators of the weapon try to get their hands of the daughter of the scientist who made the antidote and destroyed the evidence. The daughter may hold the key to the antidote. But their plans get complicated when that girl runs to L, who is doing everything he can in order to stop the virus from spreading.

Well that was surprisingly hard to explain. I usually don't write two paragraphs for plot. Death Note seems to require two paragraphs.

Anyway, I like the movies even though they don't go the way the manga goes. I mean Kira didn't take down L, there was no Near (Well.... that's what I thought) etcetera. L Change The World is a good spin off, and extremely different from Death Note. I mean Death Note is mostly battle of the wits. L Change The World is also action. I kinda liked that. I mean, of course I prefer "the battle of the wits" kinda thing. You know, like the only Bond movie I like is Casino Royale, because of the poker game. But I didn't need that anymore, I mean Death Note saga is over in this. I watched this because of L. Yes, I am indeed an L fangirl. I like the character, he's very interesting.

I really like Ken'ichi Matsuyama as L. Even though L wasn't completely Japanese, but like 1/3 (I really don't remember, and I'm too lazy to go through another Wikipedia article on him when Finnish article let me down) Japanese etc, but Ken'ichi Matsuyama is very, very good. And he looks like L should look. And I love the people who are very strict while making the movie - all L's peculiar habits are there. They didn't leave anything out, I think. But then again, who would make a movie about one of the most iconic characters and then leave all the important quirks out of it?

The music in this movie was good and well used. I kinda wish I'd have the score of this, but it's probably very hard to find.

To be honest, some of the things in the movie were very unrealistic. But then again, I wasn't expecting to see a very realistic movie, considering what Death Note is about. So yeah. All in all I'm very happy about L Change The World.
