Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz were the first actors who got an offer to appear in the film, which would have supposed their second collaboration together (after The Fountain (2006)). However, while Weisz accepted her part, Jackman had to turn it down. 'Ryan Gosling' was cast instead, although he would drop out as well, three days before the shooting started. Eventually, 'Mark Wahlberg' got the part. mai mult

A longwinded, tonally disjointed movie., 29 DECEMBRIE 2009
4/10
Author: Troy_Campbell from Sydney, Australia

Lovely Bones is a longwinded, tonally disjointed movie from Peter Jackson. Going from sweeping fantasy to cat-and-mouse thriller to psychological drama, the only thing you can be sure of is that you aren't supposed to be feeling good. Whilst there are some relatively powerful moments – a scene where all the girls murdered by the same man meet is noteworthy – overall it is badly edited and contains too many scenes that fall dreadfully flat. The apex of its failures appearing in an embarrassing interaction near the end between Susie and her crush Ray (Reece Ritchie); fortunately by that point you're used to the crassness.

Taking two years in post production due to the overwhelmingly intricate computer effects of the 'in-between', Lovely Bones offers up a delicious platter of grand CGI images for your eyes to feast on. The highlight is an awe-inspiring segment with gigantic glass bottles containing ships smashing against the rocks. The only issue is that these phantasmagorical treats lose their varnish due to being randomly inserted among other scenes with a completely different vibe.

Shame about the muddled, mediocre screenplay because the acting level is quite high from all involved. Mark Whalberg is possibly the standout, his obsessed father the most likable and believable character of the lot thanks to his passionate performance. The young Saoirse Ronan (Oscar nominated last year for her role in Atonement) is certainly one to follow; her portrayal of Susie is fantastic, especially considering she was only 13 during filming. Stanley Tucci, Susan Sarandon and Rachel Weisz all turn in solid supporting parts, even if Weisz's character grinds on the nerves.

A couple of jaw-dropping special effects sequences and an impressive cast save this from becoming the biggest flop of the year... just.

2 out of 5 (1 - Rubbish, 2 - Ordinary, 3 - Good, 4 - Excellent, 5 - Classic)
