I'm going to attempt to rate this fairly from two perspectives.
From a movie goers perspective, I would probably give this 7 or even 8 stars. The concept is unique and thought provoking. The acting is alright. It's entertaining enough. I feel like it was rushed and should have either been a longer movie or turned into a limited series. I didn't really feel like there was any character development which is a shame because the background story with L would have been especially interesting to learn more about. All in all, it was good but not something I would watch again.
Now, from a Death Note anime series fan perspective, I would definitely not give this any more than 2 or 3 stars. Like I said above, the character development was so rich in the original. The movie lacked so many of the qualities that made the original series so good. The whole plot was twisted and rushed. The most exciting plot twists we removed and replaced with scenes that left me with more questions than answers.
In the end, I would say if you enjoyed this movie do yourself a favor and go check out the anime!

My 9 and 7 year olds love this show! It's definitely different from the original but fun for the whole family anyway.
My kids love this show and that's all that really matters to me. They're not old enough to have snooty opinions about the quality of the CGI. I hope there's another season!
