The Lovely Bones-Review

This movie is about a girl, Suzy, who make a careless mistake of going with a stranger. This cruel man takes her life away, and she is stuck in the horizon between earth and heaven. Suzy is not ready to leave earth though, because she has things that she needs to accomplish before she is ready for heaven. Her killer does not realize how strong a fathers love is for his child. She must help her family find her killer for them to let go of her life, the past, and go on with theirs.

I think the concept of this movie is great, but the way its presented is not very entertaining. In the first 45 minutes of the movie Suzy has been killed, and you know who the murder is. Which means for the next hour and a half there really isn't much too look forward to. Personally I did not like this movie much and would give it two stars.
If I were to rewrite the order of this movie I think it would be much better to keep the murderer of the story a secret, by never showing his face. As the story continues on, Suzy would be giving clues as to how it happened, and who her killer was. This way the anticipation last through the entire movie. I would not recommend this movie to others, unless you enjoy be bored for an hour and a half.

Poem-

Nothing lasts forever

Everything comes to an end,


Don't try to savor the moment,


In hopes that it may just last,


One second longer.
