Hi all, I'm 'review-ing' the third Death Note movie, L Change the World. I watched the 9:40 pm screening on 29th Feb 08 at GV.
KJ calls this movie "L world", which I will do as well, cos it shortens that long name (and the amount I have to type) for I'm a lazy person.
Spoiler alert : DO NOT read ahead if you have not watched the movie and DO NOT care for spoilers. I am not liable for any damage to your movie enjoyment. You have been warned.
Storyline
The storyline was a little too draggy ie it plays more on your feelings than anything. But I still loved the special effects (gory scenes) and L. L was great as usual in this movie, and he is so kawaii! I miss him and love him so much =X (and you bad evil people, KJ, KJX, don't go announcing to the world hor)
Gory scenes
There was quite a bit of blood, just enough to make me love them! Maki's dad literally got toasted in his own lab, and the effects were sooo good.. I only wish there were melting flesh special effects too, it would make my day. And all the virus-infected victims had bloody eyes, K even cried blood. Yum yums.
I wish I was L and acted those scenes cos I really want to be there and seeing all the fun and how they made the eyes bloody and all that.
Science stuff
L world had some science stuff too, which is so cool, another plus point that made me love this movie. And the scenes in the rural science lab.. Was so nostalgic. I never thought I would miss a science lab so early in my life, but I do. All the pipettes, centrifuges, microscopes.. And L had a very good knowledge of medicines and their effects, I only wondered why he didn't do the research on the virus himself. He is way cleverer than that scientist for sure.
Some spoilers ahead(warning!!), because I want to record down exactly what I loved about this movie:
[1] When L started typing (don't blame me, this is the first time I'd seen L type)
[2] When L threw the files all over the place after going through them
[3] Whe L burnt the Death Note (his trademark pinch-with-index-finger-and-thumb action)
[4] When Boy ran screaming from the examination room and scared L (L's eyes!! darting back and forth - really funny!!)
[5] When L started typing to K, wearing his funny mask - the one you saw in Death Note 2
[6] When L offered Maki sweets-on-a-stick and got refused (he SO looked like Robo here, it's so funny)
[7] When L proceeded to eat the sweets that Maki refused
[8] When L looked at both Maki and Boy crying and looking so bemused and a little taken-aback
[9] When L opened the doors to reveal the 'Angel Crepe' van (I was like T.T then)
[10] When L said to the FBI guy: "Meet you here in two hours. Drive as fast as you want."
[11] When the FBI guy went mortified and suddenly realised he was a decoy
[12] When L used the FBI guy (Matsuda????) as a decoy while he went shopping
[13] When the scientist said the energy source of the virus was sugar, L looked abit taken-aback, and then proceeded eating the sugar cube he was about to pop into his mouth when the scientist made that statement
[14] When L and Near rushed to snatch food during the 'picnic'
[15] And then getting 'scolded' by Maki
[16] When L and Near put their hands together reluctantly so that they could start eating
[17] When Maki asked L to stand straight - and he tried
[18] When L hugged Maki on the plane and soothed her like a big bro/daddy
[19] When L christened Near at Wammy's house
[20] When L tried to stand straight (because he liked Maki and cos that was his last day alive) but reverted back almost immediately
[21] When L smiled (happily/sadly??) whilst leaving Wammy's house to walk towards the setting sun
Am a girl who generally acts nice in public, but inside her head, she probably thinks you're a waste of life. And that's why she's quiet.
