It was an OK movie, but it really wasn't Death Note at all. I understand how a reboot works, but the main characters were too different (not related to one being a white american or black) from the original ones. - Kira is not the perfect student in his school that gets a notebook that makes him think that he's a god.

- L is not really weird and thinkative like he should be. Instead, he's more emotional and jittery.

It's like another story in the world of Death Note. It's like... they just gave up to get a wider and younger audience to like the movie. They will think "Oh, Kira is awesome, he thought all that in the end" but we will know that Kiran and L were a lot more awesome in the anime.

Still, L's acting was pretty good. Kira felt like... just a spoiled child ranting.
