First off, let me make this perfectly clear: I did not read the book. Secondly, even though the trailer seemed to be hinting the movie was going to possibly be a suspense thriller, I had been warned by people who had read the book that it should not be a suspense thriller at all. So my expectations were more realistic. I thought The Lovely Bones movie was good, and definitely worth seeing. Peter Jackson created an incredible "in-between" world that is visually stunning and definitely the perfect mood setting backdrop depending on the emotions needed at the particular point in the story. It almost makes me want to read the book to see the differences. The actors are very good, Mark Wahlberg delivering a good performance as the grieving father and Stanley Tucci shinning as always, this time in a very creepy way! And kudos to the lead actress playing the 14 year old girl... she was definitely convincing. 7/10, a good movie worth seeing, from a guy who did not read the book.
