I watched the first Japanese live action movie. It's not very good.
I liked it. It bothered to give Kira some humanity that I could relate to, instead of some edgy emo Gary-Stu. The second one used to be my favorite, but then I rewatched it in later years and realized how dated it was. The pacing of that one was just bad.
Still, Kira and Tatsuya Fujiwara were the best things about those two movies. I
love Tatsuya's acting. Some of his anime-adapted movies like Kaiji were only watchable because of his great performance.
