This movie is honestly bizarre. The acting is OK, and the suspense ridden plot keeps you wanting to watch until the end. However, the scenes of Susie's life in between are beyond strange. I realize this movie is based on the book, but I think there could have been a better job showing the life in between.

LOVE THE MOVIE

There are some movies in which the antagonist is almost delightfully evil, and one practically wants to cheer them on. This is NOT one of those movies! One of the most substantial parts of this movie is just how creepy and awful the antagonist is- it makes you cheer on Susie and her family (and friends) through every scene, and you feel absorbed by the plot from start to finish. This is one of the only movies I've seen that is as thrilling as it is emotionally-charged.

Buy the book

I did not watch this movie on iTunes, rather I bought it at Walmart for $14. I have subsequently thrown it away. I beg you, don't waste your time with it. It cuts out a couple characters that would have helped this movie a lot. The actors did a very good job, did what they were told, but they were told to do the wrong things. It goes back and forth between blood and guts and sweet, tender, happy moments, without properly blending them in like a movie should be doing. I loved the book a lot, and the movie, a great disappointment.

Amazing love it so much

The book was ok I thought. But the movie was brilliant!
I've never been so attached to a movie in my entire life! It was just so beautiful and amazing seeing her point of view. I totally connected with the characters! I cried at the end soooo hard in that scene with Susie and Ray!!!!! It was so great and I recommend that every one watches it and gets the lesson that it tells.

Compared to the book, the movie isn't that great. The book was mostly about her family and them letting her go over time, which they did show in the movie, but it wasn't as powerful. And I felt they relied on the heavenistic imagery too much in comparison to her family and friends letting go. And maybe Ruth might have been emo in the book, and I wasn't paying enough attention to notice, but I felt Ruth was more of just a loner, and someone who didn't really like talking to people. I just don't like how they portrayed Ruth.
Another thing I don't like, is how they make the movie similar to the book, but in a way that sort of shoves itself in your face. I don't know. My biggest pet peeve though was that the fact that they changed the character's ages was really annoying. And I don't care if showing them change over time would've made the movie three hours to do that, but the plot just felt a little rushed, almost like it yanked itself forward instead of gracefully moving along.
Overall, this movie isn't a failure (but it's not a 100% in my opinion). It's good, very similar to the book but in all the wrong ways.

I live this movie.... I saw it when it came out and recently got to thinking about it when I remembered the name of it I looked for it on iTunes and obviously found it.... Though I would recommend it for a teenager or young adult at the earliest some parts might not be able to be stomached by a child. I was younger when I saw it though.... I am only 12 now so it just depends. 💗💗💗💗

One of my favorite films.

This is my first review.This movie is just those type of movies where you just want to watch a million times because its just so great my favorite part is when her mother finds out what happened to her then she try's to get away from the guy with the glasses he's ugly too she runs.My second favorite part is when she thinks she's alive but she has no idea what happened to her but then she realizes what happened to her she knows she's dead because a girl tells her that she's dead but I if she was me I would just be so freaked out and then I actually would want to be dead then I would hate that I was dead so much I hate myself and go sit under a rock and die again all though I wonder what would happen to me? :( sad face :( :( :( :( :( :( :(:(:(

I usually don't write movie reviews, but this movie stuck with me for a while. We all have opinions, feel free to disagree with mine, but I connected with the movie. I felt the art told a lot of the story (excuse my hipster banter) and really "made" the movie. Sure it's a bit confusing, but just look at that animation! That's what blew me away.

My Take...

 – 
Xavier Sharp

2012-12-14
I think that the negative reviews focus too much on the negative and not at all on the positive. In my estimation, this is almost a perfect movie. I will be the first to admit that it is a very slow film. The murder that the plot summary talks about doesn't take place until somewhere around 45 minutes into the film. This, in my opinion, adds to the beauty of a visually stunning film. We've come to expect excellent cinematography from Jackson, and that is delivered in spades. This is one of the prettiest films I have ever seen. The girl, Ronan, is perfect for the role visually because her fiery, sapphire-blue eyes compliment the stunning, computerized landscapes in the Limbo where the film kind of takes place. That's just a side note.
The plot, however, is another matter. I love the idea that the novel presented of the girl trying to get revenge after she has died. The only reason that this movie isn't perfect is because of the 'coming of age' mentality that plagues the film before the actual plot. It's a tragedy, yes, that she was murdered at such a young age (something the film portrays well), but [SPOILER] at the end, when she possess that other girl to kiss her boyfriend... I actively thought of how stupid that was. Other than that ending, though, I'd say the film is mostly flawless. Not a Mark Wahlberg fan, but he's pretty good in this. Stanley Tucci dominates every scene he is in, as always. And, surprisingly (or maybe not) Roran's a good actress herself. She may have been typecast, though, because her voice fits the mood a little too well, and her appearance compliments the landscapes a little too well. Just my thoughts.

Wow

This movie left me speech less... If your in the mood for every emotion to go through you mind, happy, sad, terrified, then watch it I know It came out a few years ago and all but I fell like its one of those movies that you can just watch over and over. If at any time you have a feeling like you want to stop watching. DON'T. You will never get to see the justice that gets served in the end.( I also couldn't stop watching because it was so suspenseful that I could not fall asleep without finishing it. Not in a bad way) This movie made me not really afraid to die as well. Now this is a good thing because I had an un-healthy fear about death. So if you have sat through my very long review, thanks. And please get this movie no matter what mood you are in it definitely makes you feel better.

I wish I could refund... :( I really LOVED the book made by Alice Sebold and her book, Lucky. However, many details were missing in the movie, especially the kiss! It switches scenes too fast, so I couldn't find out what's going on! But, if you read the book, you can find out what's happening. But, for me, it's to confusing to really enjoy. :( but, you should try the book! It's amazing!

My favorite movie!!!

My mother gave me this book to read years ago. I've read the book about 6 or 7 times. I absolutely love the book. The movie is also great, beautifully directed and the emotions that it makes you feel are unfathomable. The movie really makes you think. Although the movie doesn't exactly follow the book- which made some of the plot summary somewhat disappointing. Overall the movie and book are fantastic. I recommend reading the book before seeing the movie though.

Lovely Bones,is a such an amazing movie it's,chilling and thrilling at the same time. Imagine yourself in a movie like this your murdered by your neighbor but your telling the story of your herself while your in heaven and watching your family of every hour,second,minute,day,week,for a lifetime........you see these other kids that died, and your feeling sad of all those kids that died,imagine that your in heaven and your trying to find a way to lead your family where your body is and while your in heaven your talking with these other kids who died and you have no idea what happened or what they were doing to deserve this, I my self can imagine this even through my own eyes going past my pupils and seeing the future. I'M 1000% THAT IF YOU EVER SEE LOVELY BONES YOU WILL CRY AND BE SURPRISED O WHAT THIS MOVIE IS REALLY ABOUT, IT'S A SAD MOVIE PROMISE SOMETHING AND YOU'LL KEEP HAT PROMISE

I actually watched the movie first and then read the book because I wanted to see what the difference between each were. I seriously fell in love with the book, it's such a great story healing. Susie learns to accept her death for what it is and so does her family. The movie does a great job of making the viewer hate Mr. Harvey's guts (which is what Susie did) and also did an amazing job in capturing the magic of the inbetween. I love it (oh and to those rotten tomatoes people, you have no clue what you're talking about...)

That little girl who plays Susie Salmon is a brilliant actress. She is also beautiful. She did a great American accent, being from Ireland. Love seeing Marky Mark in a serious role. He was quite good. Rachel Weisz was brilliant and beautiful as usual. And Susan Sarandon. Hilarious. I love her.
Back to the movie. The movie made me feel something. And if you really pay attention to the film it's not random thoughts. It's a wonderful film and it's also beautiful. This is why Peter Jackson is one of my favorite directors.

Does it really deserve a high rating?

I thought the movie was good although toward the end I was hoping for some vindication. I really thought the father would come through and make all the bad and horrible parts less horrible but the reality of it is that in the real world these evil people exist and we can't always have a perfect and good ending. I think this only made me more aware of how precious my children are and how careful I am to protect them.

I personally loved this movie but there is a lesson to it. The lesson is don't go of with anyone you don't know. Now she didn't know her neighbor very well, she just saw him and went off with him so if you've seen someone and they ask you hey come check this out don't trust any of them unless you parents say for sure they are O.K Anyways this movie does have a part in it that is scary for some kids like when she sees her murderer in the bathroom and her blood is on the sink and everywhere. Anyways i have a text to world connection on this, I live in San Diego, California so in Poway like 6 to 7 years ago a girl did get killed by her neighbor. I think it is a good lesson for you kids to watch if they are 8 or older but you might have to cover there eyes on some of the parts, and they kiss at the very end but very small not lip into lip. So hope you enjoyed this little comment and by the way i am not an adult.

Expectations high, I started really wanting to like this film.
But it slowly withered like a dying rose. I kept telling myself that it will pick up. it will pick up. It never did.
Peter should stick to splatter and mega action. This was a mess.

This film, in my opinion, was amazing. The heartfelt storyline was so sentimental and depressing, yet hopeful. The acting was one of the film's strong points. Saoirse Ronan is an AMAZING actress, THE best young actress of now. Rachel Weisz and Mark Whalberg give some of their best performances as the heartbroken parents, and Stanley Tucci gives an Oscar nominated performance in his role as the creepy murderer. I recommend buying or renting this film. You won't regret it.

First off, this movie is ABSOLUTELY beautiful! The 'in betweeen' is soo mind blowing to look at. The story is good and you will feel emotions with each character. I completely obsess over Donnie Darko and this movie was close to bumping it down it was soo good! What would have made this movie perfect is if there was more of the 'in between' world and the bad guy would've had a different outcome.

For the people who think the director left out impprtant parts of the book:

Don't read the book, the book is awful, the movie is wonderful.
Just kidding!. Don't you just hate it when people think you need to hear about them reading a book.
"Look at me, I read a book, don't you think I'm smart?"
Books and movies are different animals.

As a movie, maybe.

I'm basing this review off of my love for the book. It's one of my favorite all time novels, and, when I first heard over two years ago that a movie was being made, I was a bit, worried, but, hoped that with such an amazing cast, and director, as there is noone in the film I am not a fan of, it could be done. Turns out, that was a false hope. The movie lost the entire essence of the simplicity and power that made the book the masterpiece it truly is. Please, do yourself a favor, and read the novel. This strips the story of it's integrity with a rushed, over CGI-ed, and hardly truthful script. Not only did it make the mistake of leaving a large chunk of important events out of the script, the events it kept, it changed, making some events laughable to watch, and hard to sit through without questioning the thought process of the director. Huge dissapointment, it might be a decent movie if it had no connections to any other story, but, that it's based of a novel so much greater then itself, is where it fails.

I personally thought it was a wonderful movie, very great story. The only problem I had was with the ending, Im not gonna spoil it and tell the ending but I would've liked it better if it was different. But overall, fantastic movie

Loses itself in Limbo...

I haven't read the book, so my reviews based solely on the movie...
It started off great and was really tragic, with creepy characters and whatnot, but then it steered off into a CGI fest. It seemed like a young graduate took this opportunity to show everyone his CGI demo reel in the middle of the movie, distracting completely from the rest of the film. The mood was constantly changing from serious to tragic, to happy, to funny, to random.
It didn't know what to do with itself and instead this movie suffered from the common mistake of taking a bad approach on a film.
But it was very interesting...ill admit that.
Just very unsure of itself...and it shows.

LOVE this movie!!

The Lovely Bones is the most beautiful film I've seen in many years (by now, I've seen it 5 times in theatres). There's something about the little moments in this film that moves me every time I watch it - I find myself anticipating "what comes next" scene by scene. There is heartbreaking beauty found here - the cinematography hauntingly captures the essence of Susie's story (Susie running along the beach in the in-between, the birds flying over the river as Susie lets go of life on Earth) and Brian Eno's poignant music stirs heartstrings somewhere deep inside the human soul. Susie Salmon, that iconic yet deeply affecting 14 year old girl, is the spirit that keeps this story alive. Stanley Tucci once said "you will be carried through this film by her (referring to Saoirse Ronan, who plays Susie)." And I was. The Lovely Bones will take your breath away...

I personally think the book is WAYY better! You should at least read the book BEFORE the movie. They leave ALOT out of the movie! Read it! :D

Great

I loved this book and was so happy to see it come to the big screen I missed in theaters and was so happy to see it on itunes this morning. This is really a great movie and book.
