Excellent, a Must See

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The Lovely Bones is a hard movie to watch, especially for parents. Peter Jackson does a great job of creating suspense and stressful situations, and Stanley Tucci is amazingly creepy. While the visuals were stunning, I felt that the filmmakers spent too much time showcasing how cool they could make things look. This movie was longer than it needed to be. Also, I wasn't satisfied with the conclusion of the film.

This is one of the most poorly directed films I've ever had the displeasure of watching. Please do not waste your time on this one. 2 hours and 15 minutes of Peter Jackson wasting a lot of money on CGI instead of developing a good plot line and developing a story.

Really powerful, beautiful film. Yes, the underlying theme is frightening, but this is in no way a 'horror' film. It's a story about life, death, the Afterlife, vengeance, love, and ultimately, hope for justice.I decided to watch this movie because my father died today and I wanted to think about what it's like to be dead and 'in between' worlds. This movie really touched me and even inspired a few tears. The acting is overall, great. I feel that Rachel Weiss looked FAR too young in this film to be Susie's mother...she looked like an older sister. All of the characters are interesting in their own right. Susie's sister is a great character, as well. I thought Stanley Tucci's character looked so much like Javier Bardem I couldn't recognize him until I read the credits! Really enjoyed the music.And the CGI...I normally HATE CGI because I grew up in the 70's and 80's so I'm used to people in costumes, etc...those seem more 'real' than all the CGI 'monsters' they use nowadays. In this movie, CGI is used in a wonderful, beautiful and touching manner. Loved it, and recommend it highly.

Thing is , when Arnold Swarzenegger does a soppy daydream movie (as most of his are ) you don't leave feeling you've been patronised.So my review is : A well made . well acted .soppy daydream movie , albeit somewhat patronising ( matronising ? )One step up from reading the Daily Mail.
