The casting is so-so, with a Light who only looks like Light if you squint but an L who's fairly accurate and good at the required mannerisms.
The music is good enough... with the exception of a seemingly random Red Hot Chili Peppers song playing a multitude of times amidst rather serious content.
I've re-watched this movie several times by now simply from showing it to friends. The rewatch value is very high... but only from a comedic standpoint. Each time I find the movie worse and even more inaccurate than before, but somehow even more hilarious.
Taking into account my scores on everything else, I'd rate this movie a six. It was "okay" and that's about it. Certainly good if you've never seen or read the original stories, but decidedly Not Good if you have.
Long review short: go watch the anime and then try this movie.
