Lightdeossk Captivating movie !

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

pinkarray Susie is a weak protagonist. I mean, when she gets dragged into a hideout by a man and he started laughing evilly, any active protagonist would've bounced by then. Her characterization is inconsistent, one minute she's riding her bike, taking snapshots without a care in the world, another minute, she's sulking ungratefully about a rainbow-colored jingle hat her mom gave her. I know teens are moody but it's like the writers didn't know whether to make her a serious or fun girl.A few other characters we have are Lindsey, Susie's cynical but down-to-earth sister, Buckleay, the usual imaginative child, Lynn, an eccentric yet quirky grandmother and they're really nothing special. In fact, Lynn probably has the most unique personality out of all the characters.With an interesting premise and depiction of afterlife but predictable and melodramatic storyline coupled with awkward characters brings this down to a 3.

TigerHeron Worse than a waste of time. The main character (the dead girl) does something stupid no one with an IQ over 70 would do in real life, resulting in her murder. Most of the movie is Disney-esque sequences of an afterlife, with no plot. The actual plot takes place on earth, but it consists of almost nothing. We see a family grieve, fall apart, come back together, and the murder is solved...except it isn't. The murderer gets away, and we're supposed to believe justice was served when, as an old man, he dies in an accident. Meanwhile, if you have a brain, you realize he had continued his serial rape/murders until his untimely death. In other words, it's a movie about spending his entire life getting away with rape and murder of girls and women. Hello? .

d b There are only mild "spoilers" in this review, so if you haven't seen it yet, you can read this without it ruining the movie for you. This film will always be remembered as the breakout role for the incredible Saoirse Ronan. It will also be remembered as one of the most controversial films ever made. People tend to break off into two camps: Team Salmon or Team Harvey.It starts off innocently enough: a boy-crazy teenage girl in the 1970s is crushing on a man at school. It seems that he is interested in Susie too and despite the disparity in age, she falls for his charms, mostly due to his exchange student allure and suave accent. As the film progresses, it becomes clear that another gentleman is also interested in the nubile teen. His name is Mr. Harvey and he lives in Susie's neighborhood. Unlike the man from school, Mr. Harvey puts in a tremendous amount of effort in an attempt to win the love of Susie Salmon. He builds her an amazing underground clubhouse, complete with all the stuff young people from that era loved. He had beverages such as Coca Cola that he selflessly shared with Susie as they hung out. It became clear that Mr. Harvey, while having great taste in females, was a bit awkward around them. His nervousness around Susie Salmon was evident and she picked up on that. Girls prefer a man with confidence. I also feel that maybe she was turned off because the Coke that Mr. Harvey gave her was warm. I didn't see an ice-filled cooler in the clubhouse anywhere. So I think these factors all led to Susie Salmon losing her patience, which erupted in an unfortunate display of rudeness. Mr. Harvey only had one rule in the clubhouse: Be polite. Susie Salmon broke that rule and the series of events that followed spiraled into one great, big, depressing chain reaction.There are no bad people in The Lovely Bones. True, Susie Salmon came off as being a little narcissistic and immature but she was only 14 years old. Mr. Harvey was socially awkward and made some questionable choices in life but he had a deep desire to be loved and respected. Despite his talents and generosity, it seemed nobody opened up their heart to him.

amarjunchu This movie tries to be beautiful and if you can understand what its trying to do then you will like it very much. I am not into these kinds of movies so for me it certainly was a very different kind of movie and I liked it for the most part but it was just too long I'd say. Visuals are really good with well done CGI. . The kind of story it wanted to tell, it told it pretty well. Its a movie where you will have to helplessly see all good and bad things happening around just like our main character. You might take it as a negative but that is exactly what is also the strength of this movie cause that is how a lot of things happen around us.
