Bridge to Terabithia [Blu-ray]

Ive never read the book and based my purchase of the DVD based on the TV ads for the movie. I was expecting a lot of fantasy/ computer generated stuff but found the bulk of the movie to drag on in an almost boring manner. Two depressed, miserable children with few/ no friends who meet and become friends through their shared fantasy world- not much for the little ones in that outline is there? The movie does have many interesting moments but there is very little that would be funny or entertaining for small children, and a little after church discussion that some would not want their children to hear. I found the extras to be the best part of the DVD for me, including the bit with the author saying she supported the movie and her son being a producer- it must be fairly close to the original text of the book wth that then I guess. I wont be watching this one often, but like another reviewer, Id like to see what the two young stars do in the future.

Like the lessons it teaches about television and imagination

I remember going to see this movie when I was younger and falling in love and watching it repeatedly so I decided to buy it as I am now older. I was hoping that my childhood love wouldnt deceive me and I would still love this movie and it worked! For those who havent seen it, its a fantasy/action movie. I wont give any spoilers but it is about a young boy and girl and their ambition to find a place where they can be comfortable and have fun. This is later called Terabitihia. The movie makes you laugh, makes you cry, and makes you feel good all around. I would especially recommend this movie to a younger audience but if youre an adult and you enjoy a good childrens movie, this may work for you as well.

One of my favorite movies, but is for my grandson.Was his favorite when he was four years old and count not see the TV until he got special glasses made. He remembered all the words. Must see for kids with dreams, And I didnt even think a four year old could say Terabithia. What does that tell you about the movie, full of dreams for an outcast. Still love it.

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...

Im glad to own this movie.

I hope my grandchildren will like this as much as my own children did when the movie came out

I so love this movie. Very heart warming movie!

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.

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! :)
