Oscar worthy performances from Ronan and Tucci. Excellent soundtrack and visuals. Not as depressing as novel but just as beautiful.
There was a key part near the end where they screwed up and was fake...
Great Movie! Great acting and everybody that watches this movie would see how easy it is for something bad to happen.
I read the book (which was decent) and this movie was a total disappointment. This book is about a family coping with a death and the trials and struggles that occur as their daughter watches and tries to help. It is not about a girl dancing around on clouds for 3/4ths of the story just to show you know how to produce cool effects in a film. WAY too many key points left out. This movie should of been G rated considering the only compelling and somewhat controversial content (which was what MADE the book) was totally left out. Bring your 6 year olds to see it - they'll have a blast.
Stagerring and touching movie, that you should see by your soul.This is not a movie just for fun. Great acting and directing. If you like a real meaningfull movies ,go and see it.Bravo!
Bored to death - 5 of us wouldnt have wasted our money on this had we known. Read the book which was much better than this.
Should have the option of no stars...Horrible movie that lasts so long, you actually start to laugh when more nonsense comes across the screen.
Really good movie, the special effects were great and you needed them in the movie. All Peter Jackson is doing was trying to create 'limbo' and heaven. Obviously the people who didn't like effects don't understand this. So go see it and open up your imagination!
Fantastic, a must see movie.
WORST MOVIE EVER!! Peter Jackson really sucked at this movie.. It was WAY TOO FANTASYISH... I think he was still caught up in The Lord of the Rings when he did this movie
Great movie! Stanley Tucci was utterly charming in this role!
It was O.K. Could have done without a lot of the over the top effects. Stanley Tucci was amazingly creepy.
I was very disappointed in this movie. I hadn't read the book, so had only trailers and reviews to go by, but it didn't live up to my expectations. While I felt the acting was top-notch, (especially Stanley Tucci...creepy!, the story moved very slowly. There were far too many "between heaven and earth" interludes, and the resolution of the story was extremely unsatisfying. It just fell flat for me.
The movie was very good. I know it's challenging to adapt a book to a movie but the essence of the story remains in the movie. Stanley Tucci did an excellent job. Look out for Peter Jackson in a cameo in the camera shop.
If you read the book DO NOT watch the movie. Worst adaptation ever. They leave out so many KEY things that happen in the book. Anything from the book that that was considered too risky for generic audiences was left out. They turned this book hollywood and robbed its beauty. Seabold is a sellout for letting this happen.
Excellent movie, very touching and deep, makes you think of what's next, what happens to us, are bad people really punished, is there life after death. What is it like to have someone in your family murdered? what happens to the family? The acting was really good as it even added humour in the form of the drunken mother-in -law. Anyway, if you want to go to a movie that makes a statement about life and death and makes you think beyond our everyday concerns, this is it.
There was definite effort put into this film. The visuals are stunning and the acting (Ronan and Tucci, to be exact) was exceptional. But what I couldnt but think was that if I hadnt read the book, would I have fully understood the movie? Jackson did what he could and spent a lot of time in the visuals, but in doing so lost a lot of the story, which took away from the movie as a whole.
WOW.... HOLY STUPID MOVIE!!! Don't watch it... It's not a murder case movie at all... It's too much of a fantasy.. I think Peter Jackson was thinking he was in the Lord of the Rings..
Excellent !!! Very different and very disturbing ! Stanley Tucci did a fabulous job of acting !
Interesting story with good acting.
great movie. enough said.
WAY better then avatar.
Worst book adaptation I have ever seen!! If you have read the book (which was amazing) and want to see the movie DON'T, you will be disappointed.
Pretty good movie, as long as you don't read the book beforehand!
I thought the movie was very good. The changed things from the book, why I dont know , it would have been better had they kept it the same. Peter Jackson did a great job all in all, I would reccomend seeing it@
This movie was creepy and depressing. How could any one read the book
i did not want to see this movie, but i did, and it was really a wonderfully touching movie start to finish.
Great movie, pretty disturbing but unreal, really opens your eyes about the sick people that are out there, deff not a waste of money totaly different from all the other petophile/ killer movies that are out there!!!!
