Watched the movie with Wend. Not a bad spinoff from DeathNote. Get to see the more human side of the lengendary detective L. Lawliet. The only downside of the movie, it downplayed the intellect powers of L.
In the original DeathNote, L was such a great thinker and strategist that it was thrilling just to see him and Kira pitted against each other with just wits alone. This movie however depended more on "action" rather that the mind-blogging mental fight.
And one more thing, there are terms in this movie that is easier to follow if you had watched DeathNote. Go watch DeathNote first, after all it is a spinoff.
It is sad to know that L will still die in the end.
Overall, 7/10. *******
