The Lovely Bones was absolutely horrid. I was furious after leaving the theater. This book was wonderful, but the movie was just a compilation of scenes of her running around heaven frantically in a dream like state.
The story is about so much more. It’s about the characters lives as they grieve and move on after her death, about their interactions with each other and what happens to their relationships with each other because of dealing with this death. There is a part of it where she grieves from heaven, but mostly it is her looking down at her loved ones and learning to accept it. The movie focused almost completely on her and left out all the good stuff like the relationship between her mom and the detective, the romance between her crush and the physic girl, and even the part at the end where she takes over her body and spends time with him and has her first sexual experience. Of course this was all left out so they could make a disney g rated movie. -.-
Sorry I didnt mean to give any spoilers. How do I put that cool little spoiler button?

Frozen - And I’m befuddled as to how it gets so much praise. One of the worst Disney movies in years.
Indiana Jones … Crystal Skull. I think this film had potential but some of the details were just terribly executed. Gunpowder is magnetic? Are you kidding? But the real killer to me was the actual prop crystal skull. Every time I saw that thing, my eyes locked onto it and I kept thinking “but that’s just a piece of cheap sheet plastic vacuum-formed into a skull shape with crumpled aluminum foil stuffed inside.” I found it impossible to notice anything else going on in any scene that included that godawful prop.
Starship Troopers. What a steaming pile. What possessed the producers to hire a director who absolutely hated the book? That strategy was guaranteed to infuriate every Heinlein fanboy who watched the thing, and who else did they think was going to be buying tickets?
For me with Crystal Skull, it just felt like the director didn’t know the source material. There were s8l7io many “Indy” moments that just slipped by.
Godfather 3, and more recently, Little Fockers (that was godawful) and *Philomena *. I’m going to stop listening to my friends when they say you have to see X movie, it’s great!
