The Lovely Bones - Peter Jackson

I read the book recently and wanted to see the film. I think its probably one of the best films i have seen for a while.  Now i am not one to be upset that the book doesn't match up with the film because i understand you cant always portray the book in vision and visa versa. However i think Jackson did a very good job of interpreting the book.  I thought the book was good but a bit to commercial however the film did it justice and i actually loved the film. Although he did miss out a few key points, he made up for this in the way he portrayed the story in which i think enhanced the film. Their is one point of the Novel that really pissed me off and i didn't like what Alice Seabold did with it in the novel (I wont spoil the actual point). However it was portrayed in a much nicer way in the film which i thought was impressive.
