Bridge to Terabithia [Blu-ray]

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.

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.

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.

The book is awesome, and the movie is a fun way to reward kids who have read the whole thing. The only thing is that you will probably need a permission slip if youre doing this at school since its PG. The reason its PG is that it touches on the mature topic of death and bullying; theres nothing inappropriate, unless your little ones think the fantasy stuff is scary. When I taught the book, most of my kids had already seen the movie, since it is a modern film. The thing about Terabithia is that its a place the boy and girl made up, and all the CG fantasy stuff is a visualization of what the kids are imagining. If you see the movie before reading the book, you miss that part. It is advertised as a fantasy like Narnia, but all the fantasy is what the kids imagine. If you look at the bad reviews, you just see people who didnt like the sad ending, or who were expecting more fantasy. Obviously they didnt read the book. Keep in mind that originally the book was written in the 70s, when life was very different. The movie does a pretty good job of *showing* you e book, but they do change a few things, including the setting. It has a very sad ending, the same as the book, so make sure your kids can handle death being a theme. I would have given it five stars if it had stuck more closely to the book, but overall I understand why they changed a few things. To summarize the plot, the little boy hates his life, then he meets the girl, who is new to the school. They get bullied at school so they find a little hide-out in the first and imagine all this fantasy stuff; its not literally there, and the CD graphics are just to show you what they imagine. They go to Terabithia several times, and the story shows you the boys sad life, and how he finds a few positive things to help him get through it. I wont tell you exactly how it ends, but it *is* sad, so dont show this to little ones expecting a feel-good happy ending. You should probably talk to your kids, in fact, about issues like death and bullying. This is reality, and we need to face it. Plus, read the book first, because it has so much more to offer. Just remember, the setting is the 70s in the book.

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.

As an over-50 adult who loves to go with my imagination, I totally bought into this movie. If you let yourself simply believe you can travel into Teribithia with the characters and have no doubt that it is real. The only negative I have to mention is that I think the sadness (Im trying not to give away too much here for those who havent seen the movie) brought into the movie near the end is unnecessary. This movie is intended as a family movie, and throwing that element in is not only sad, its a bit disconcerting. Instead of walking away saying I loved it and it was filled with wonderful imagination!, I walked away saying, WHY did they put THAT in there! It actually made me and my viewing partner angry.

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

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.

Im glad to own this movie.

This one is a real tear jerker.
