Key opinion
Light up the NEW world is widely considered a disappointing sequel that fails to capture the intellectual depth of its predecessors. While the film boasts impressive production values and features beloved legacy characters, these elements are overshadowed by an incoherent plot, lackluster new protagonists, and an unsatisfying finale.
| Acting | Legacy characters like Ryuk and Misa Amane provide the film's only moments of genuine appeal and fan-service resonance. | |
| Production | The production design, including graphics and musical score, demonstrates high-quality execution that stands out as a technical achievement. | |
| Screenplay | The screenplay suffers from an incoherent narrative, relying on absurd motivations and trivial arguments rather than meaningful character development. | |
| Acting | The new lead characters—the successors to L and Kira—are poorly defined, coming across as flat, clownish, or physically repulsive caricatures. | |
| Runtime | The 135-minute runtime feels excessive, as the bloated plot and unnecessary subplots create significant drag that slows down the narrative. | |
| Ending | The climax and conclusion are received poorly, with critics divided on whether the final twists are simply banal or actively maddening in their absurdity. |
