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.

  1. I also saw this movie and dissagree. the scary parts in the begginning kept me on the edge of my seat, and the rest of the movie was suspensful about the man and the other daughter, but i can see where you are coming from. Also this was a nice movie review because it was very descriptive, but try making your sentences longer. good job!

  2. I read this book and have been dying to see the movie and I also disagree although I've never seen the movie I can still go by what the books like. In the book, you know the killer the whole time too. Even in the book it's so suspenseful because you want the dad to find out who the killer is. I also have a question... is the movie in Suzie's point of view? Because it was in the book.

  4. Did you realize you forgot to capitalize the first word of your selection? Why did you choose to write a review? It's not terrible to do that, but it is a really easy level of writing, and one I hope you move past.
