This is the third film in the Death Note series. It features the enigmatic genius L. This time L is embroiled in attempting to foil a terrorist plot involving a highly contagious virus. L has very little time before his own life is over because of his sentence in the death note from the previous film. (The death notes are supernatural books kept by the gods of the dead. The previous 2 films involved mortals receiving these books and writing the names of people they want to kill inside them. L wrote his own name to avoid becoming the latest victim of a serial killer- since he knew that if he died sometime in the future he wouldn't die at the hands of this killer).
I confess I didn't like this film half as much as the previous 2. Unlike the previous films, there are hardly any supernatural elements. And L isn't particularly an action character. There is a cameo briefly from Ryuk, (a death god), but that is it. L and the cast spend most of his time protecting 2 small children from the bad guys and foiling the plans of a crazed eco terrorist cell.
I was rather disappointed. The previous films were pretty good, but this one seemed weak. L is a good character though. So it was nice to see him in action, however I just don't think the plot or bad guys were strong enough or cerebral enough to be worthy of L or the 2 hours spent on it.Get more detail about Death Note 3: L, Change the World.
