DVD Reviews of Death Note 3 (Aka: L Change the World)

DVD Review: Not so bad...
Summary: 5 Stars

I've read the reviews for this, and I have to say that I most definately don't agree with a large portion of the ones knocking it. I will admit that I have not seen the straight Japanese version subtitles, I saw the dubbed when it was in theaters, but I do not think that it was as bad as made out at all.

Yes, you have to get over the fact that he didn't fall in love in 23 days. You have to deal with the fact that Ryuk does not appear more than once for a minute or two. Yes, you have to deal with the fact that he didn't interact with any of the previous characters from the movies beyond Watari. But, hey, considering they either killed everyone or locked them up, what do you expect? Really, they weren't working with much, were they, guys, so cut the writers some slack. And for the love of everything sacred, white hair DOES NOT exist in your average child, so, no, the boy "Near" DOES NOT have it. Why is this even an honest complaint with the movie? Some realism was obviously desired, in the movie, after all... And what surprise would it have been to viewers in the end if the kid had white hair all along?

The movie does deal with the whole terrorism, plane chase, mad scientist aspect, but it wasn't stupidily written just to make fangirls squee. It makes sense. The boy, "Near", is just a tad bit annoying with his "13-11, 13-11, 13-11, 13-11!!!" thing, but beyond that... he's adorable and not much trouble. The girl (I do believe that her name was Maki, as well) was a bit more annoying than he was. But, all in all, it was L stuck, willingly, with two kids. There was cuteness abounds as he deals with that, but he also dealt with some of the problems of having a wanted child with him, since Maki was being hunted down by the mad scientists for the virus she had that was the weapon for the terrorists (these very same scientists). We got to meet two others from Whammy's group, too. K and F.

Honestly, the movie was very creative for the restraints that they were working with. They had to come up with a plot that could believably arise, get played through, and get resolved in only 23 days for the characters. They could not work in Light, or Misa, or the shinigamis. The FBI came back, back why made sense, too. (I'll be one of the first to admit that he was a total goober, but he was necessary for plot movement.) Don't let the fact that it didn't follow with romanticized ideals of what could have, "should have", happened in Ls last 23 days stop you from viewing this. My AMC experience had me raving to my entire group on my college campus, and the three other people who went with me were all agreed on the fact that it was, hands down, one of the best ways that they could have ended Ls life. He was, ultimately, doing what he loved in the end, even if it wasn't getting revenge using the Deathnotes, or wasn't out finding love. It's L, guys. He was all about fighting crime and being Justice. As soon as I can buy a copy where I can have the option to see it dubbed again, I will be doing so. You should do the same if you are a fan of the anime, manga, live action movies, or just loveable old L in general.
