Bridge to Terabithia [Blu-ray]

I was watching tv with my niece one night and Bridge to Terabithia came on a movie channel. From the advertisements I recalled it looked something like the Spiderwick Chronicles, something else I hadnt seen but wasnt interested in at all. I decided to put on Terabithia for my niece, and long after she went to bed I was hooked on the movie. I was so hooked in fact, that when a tragic event occurs towards the end of the film I was still fighting back tears long after. The beauties of love and loss are so well played here, especially considering the main characters age. If youre looking for another tired fantasy film aimed at kids, look elsewhere. This movie is apparently based on a work of young adult fiction thats very popular/challenged by censors (thank you wikipedia), and I wont go into detail about the storyline, but know that this movie affected me in a way few have. For that I love it.

Its very rare that a movie is so true to life and so well done. As it deals with death issues, Id recommend parents of young children watch the movie with them to explain the loss of Leslie and aftermath. There is so much in this movie that can be discussed with children as a teaching tool. This movie will be around for a long time, thank you for offering the movie and all the people who had a hand in filming it.

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.

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!

Id say this is good for around 9 years old and up. I love the story for capturing youth and imagination and refreshingly breaking the hollywood formula a bit... But while worthwhile in the end and making for a most excellent story arc, this could be a bit shocking to younger or more sheltered kids. Will engage adults too, though. I was just starting to doze off during this another kids movie when BAM i was back and awake...

I havent seen this movie since it came out in 2007. And back 7 years ago I was only 8 or so, so I couldnt remember much of it but the general concept of it. So I decided to watch it again, after having a long stressful day. Honestly put me to tears, to put it into perspective, Im a 15 year old guy, but Im the sensitive type. Honestly the best movie, and I think me re-watching it put it at my favorite movie replacing the Hunger Games movies. Not much I can say about it. Its a good movie to watch if youre just having a bad day and need something to brighten your mood.

We thought this was an amazing film. My daughters enjoyed it. They asked their friends if theyd ever watched it and most of them thought it was annoying.......BUT....my children have always been story driven and allow their imaginations to react to stories in a limitless fashion. Good film....great values....and fun for the whole family. There may be some scenes that small children may find offensive but my 8 and 11 year old found it manageable.

This is a great movie for children and adults. The kids in the move have great imaginations and my grandchildren really liked the movie - and so did I. I believe my grandson was in the 5th grade when this was assigned to him.

More exciting thre first time you watch it, than the 2 nd

Really wanted to like this more. Growing up I had some friends who called our secret clubhouse-by-the-highway Terabithia, and it was years before I learned of the book and heard Theyd adapted it. The film is decent in execution, but I think the story just doesnt lend itself to the medium nearly as well as it does to literature. No mysterious lack of decent performances or hackneyed performers trying to reinvigorate their career with a film on controversial subject matter. Its all at least acceptable. It just never really clicked into place properly for me.
