Bridge to Terabithia [Blu-ray]

My children read the book, then I read the book. Want to see what they did with the movie that was guided by the authors son.

I am really glad I finally got this movie I had ordered it before and the seller had to give me a refund I bought the soundtrack to the movie and I really loved the movie but now I have to say thanks from the bottom of my heart I wanted to own this movie and now I am happy thanks again very good movie music is awesome too

It was an enjoyable exploration of trials and triumphs of growing up. The movie was enjoyable and good to watch with kids. I gave it 4 stars for being a bit hokey at times... but overall, a great movie - and good for a long cry.

The book was great. The film, while not JUST like the book, was also great. I wasnt looking forward to this movie since book-to-movies normally end up causing massive headaches, but this was actually a pleasant surprise. It was written a while back, so they did modernize it a bit, but stayed as true to the story as possible, I think. The creatures of Terabithia were beautiful and creative. The lessons woven in were well played and memorable. Overall, this was a great family-friendly movie complete with all sorts of ups and downs. The only thing that I really hated was how May Belle said Tera-Bithia at the ending. I dont know why, but it always makes me cringe. ):

Sadddd movieeee

Id seen the trailer, but thats it. Given the current crop of fantasy movies, I was expecting a light, fluffy fantasy movie - NeverEnding Story, or the like. Boy was I ever wrong. Bridge to Terabithia was anything but light fantasy. Im glad I watched it alone - crying over movies is more my wifes domain, and I did plenty of sniffling. I dont see this as being a kids movie - nothing terribly objectionable, it just hit hard in spots I didnt have when I was a kid. The acting is very good - a good thing. Despite the trailer it was all about the characters and the story. There was comparatively little CG - no Star Wars or Lord of the Rings here. Just enough CG to support the story. Very tastefully done. My only disappointment is two bits of dialog, unnecessary to the story, that portray the usual Hollywood stereotype of Christianity. Disappointing, but not surprising, even from Disney. Aside from that one minor nit, I dont remember being hit as hard (in a good way) by a movie since I saw Apocalypse Now in the theater in 1979.

I bought this to show my students after reading the book. I havent read the book myself since 4th grade (many, many years ago), but it seems to follow the books fairly closely. I like that it has enough differences (little things to update it) that make it easier to see of students actually read the book when filling out questions, but the main idea of the movie stayed the same as the book.

Sweet story. Book was way better though

This is a great movie for all kids. We watched it for family movie night with my 15, 10, 8, and 13 year old. They all loved it, but were surprised by the ending. I read this book as a kid and as a teacher to my class. Great story that stands the test of time! :)

This is an adorable story! It will make you laugh, it was make you say awww, and it will make you cry. I have been watching this movie since I was a little girl and I still watch it to this day. If you have children I absolutely recommend this movie to you. It is fantastic!
