Bridge to Terabithia [Blu-ray]

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.

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.

Im not exactly a movie expert, but I would have to say that I found this movie fairly enjoyable. I was attracted to this movie because of a grade school reading assignment where I had to read the book version of this movie. And it stuck with me even now in adulthood, as few things have. so when I found out that they were making a movie of this, I was immediately interested. But I kept putting it off for a while until I finally watched it recently. And I dont regret watching it at all. Its still not as good as the book but its still something good to see if you want to explore the potential of a childs imagination.

This is a really good movie. I had only heard about this movie and that it was good. So without knowing about its dark side, I planned an evening to watch it at home, with my wife & two of my daughters (23 & 21). After a mostly lighthearted beginning, most of the way through the movie, there is a dark turn of events. We were all kind of in shock and my daughters were crying. Ive heard that the BOOK is widely read around the [....] or so, so many kids are familiar with the story line. I WOULD NOT recommend it for viewers younger than about 10. There are a numnber of good elements. It shows the power of imagination. The friendship between Jess and Leslie is powerful. Teachers are portrayed in a POSITIVE light. And in the end, Jess builds a bridge and introduces his sister to his and Leslies magical place. The dark turn should provide a talking point for parents of teens. This is without regard to your personal beliefs. Religion plays only a very small part in this movie. You should take the opportunity to talk with your kids about the topic. (Im avoiding mentioning the exact nature of the dark turn to avoid being a spoiler. But you can probably take a good guess.) So, Id recommend it highly. Just be prepared for a good discussion afterwards.

This is a great movie and I am glad I own it on dvd now.

This is a great movie for someone struggling with the loss of a loved one, especially for children. It also emphasizes the importance of showing all your kids affection and letting them know you love them. It definitely has sad parts but in the end, things are better as a result. The only issue I had with the movie was the part when they are riding in the back of the truck and the little girl goes on a tirade about being damned to hell. I felt it was completely unnecessary and came out of nowhere.

I really enjoy this movie as I am a fan of all imaginary lands. The ending, however... Well, I wont spoil it but... It wasnt what I expected.

We liked the movie, but like all movies made from the novel there were parts that were missing or added.

This was a very enjoyable movie for the whole family. It was a bit sad so if you have sensitive ones you may want to read up on it first. Also there were a few swear words. Other than that it was decent and well made. These kind of movies are hard to find now a days.

Like the lessons it teaches about television and imagination
