Is there a wiki or anything that says where/when/how it was supposed to end?
I went into Death Note more or less blind, and I agree, there's a point where it should have ended. If that was where it was meant to end, and it certainly looked like it, it's pretty obvious and hard to explain without totally spoiling it.

I've read a translation of the novel, and from browsing through the manga, I can tell it's a fairly faithful adaptation. The movie, though, changes a lot of things. Not just where the story takes place, but also the characters, and the mechanics behind the movie's premise. The ending is different, as well.

I didn't understand the dialogue. Maybe it's a translation issue. A shame because I actually liked the art. But I can't follow the story as it is.

One of the reviews actually goes into this in a bit more detail:
In short, the difficulty of parsing the story seems to be a combination of it being harder to translate from dialects and the intentionally choppy & technical discussions that make up a chunk of the series. Where did you stop?
Sorry for the late answer, the quote helped me understand what was going on. I haven't read past the first chapter, but I'm keeping it bookmarked anyway.

Ooh, excellent point. I hadn't known that, but thank you for linking! (Time to binge on The Gamer to help the artist)
The translation seems a little shaky, but I like the concept enough that it doesn't bother me too much.
