The Lovely Bones

I went to see the highly anticipated movie 'The Lovely Bones' today, a new film by Peter Jackson. I think Peter Jackson rules, to be honest, he directed my favourite film series, Lord of the Rings, so I had really, really high expectations of this film when I went in to see it.

I personally thought that the beginning was amazing. The acting was undefined by some of the 21st century. I thought that if it ran like this throughout I'd be pretty damn well amazed by the film.

Then the halfway point struck. I thought it dragged a bit here, and there was really not much going on and everything second lasted a minute, that kind of dragging. I seemed to find that it focused more on the world of the Inbetween rather than Susie's feelings towards letting her parents and family go. I found that this was a pretty scattered part of the film.

The film really picked itself up again when it came to Jack being attacked, and Lindsey breaking into George Harvey's house. I thought Lindsey and Susie's parts were the biggest and most suspenseful.

There are probably many things I would like to discuss about the film. But I'll just summarize it because I'm not going to be by my computer for the rest of the night now by the looks of it.

Overall, it was a great film, the acting was superb, the music, though seemed repetitive at times was really good. The story is unique, though at times I thought that it wasn't focused on the right things, and could get boring and dragged out a bit.

Its not much of a review, I know, I don't really have time to review it at the moment. It was a great film. I feel that its probably a film you grow to love the more times you go to see and, I'll definitely buy the DVD when it comes out, maybe I'll appreciate the quality of filming gone into it then, like with Lord of the Rings, I thought that could be quite boring the first time I saw it properly, but then as I saw it more and more I grew to love it more and more and now it's my favourite trilogy.

So Kudos to Mr Jackson on being an excellent film maker, and I know I will forever worship some of the masterpieces he releases.
