I've not seen it nor do i have any interest in seeing it.

All I know from what I've read and heard is this:

As a Light fan, it's quite interesting that, in spite of this film's apparent attempt to "humanize" Light and maybe make him more relatable, Light Turner will probably end up with far, far less support than Light Yagami.

They made him more sympathetic but nobody wanted that, not even Light fans. Light has a fanbase because he is charismatic, resolute and ruthless. He is, on the surface, a perfect person. He embodies everything you could really want in your dream potentate. (never used that word before. It's a cool one) Making him wishy-washy or having him pushed round by Ryuk or Misa ruins the illusion of authority and command that is really the foundation for his character.
