Bridge to Terabithia [Blu-ray]

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.

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.

Really deserves 5 stars, but the sudden death of the girl brings angry feelings of blame and irresponsibility to be placed on the boy. That would be a load to carry in reality, but skimmed over in the plot.

Jesse grows in confidence and joy after meeting his new neighbor Leslie, whose unconventional ways and wonderful imagination take them on marvelous adventures. Although I loved it, there were ways in which it didnt live up to the amazingness of the book. The parents were more likable in the movie; it left out how the dad thought drawing was effeminate, and how the mom favored the teenage sisters. What the movie did so well was to capture Terabithia. The squogles (imaginary squirrel monsters) were fabulous.

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!

The trailer did not do this movie justice. It didnt show what the movie is really about which is friendship. Its an amazing adventure about the power of imagination. Not nearly as otherworldly, but more grounded which actually makes it better that what youre expecting. There are not enough words to say how awesome I thought this movie was.

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 movie started out seeming as if it were going to have a moral of you can do anything with enough imagination which is what I thought was going to be though out the movie. I have not read the book so did not know the story. That was not exactly the case, to a point yes but there is a sharp turn in the movie toward the end. We enjoyed the bulk of this movie but toward the end where it takes it sharp turn it lost us and we have never watched it a second time. I would not recommend it for small children there is some stuff that is way over their head and will likely just upset them or confuse them at best. (spoiler alert* stop reading if you do not want to know what happens in the movie) I would not have let my small girls watch this movie if I had known that the girl was going to up and die in the end in a stupid accident that should not have even happened. The whole thing seemed forced and just plain awful to me. It just seemed like they killed the character off for shock value (I do not know if she died in the book or not or if the author of the book did it for the same reason of shock value or what I can only speak toward the movie) I just felt that it was not necessary and I hate movies that get you invested in a character only to kill them off in the end in a stupid did not do any good other than to upset people type move. sorry.... this is not a movie that has ever left the shelf a second time in our house in the last several years since I first got it.

I am so shocked by how great this movie really is. I originally saw this movie when my daughter was 3 at the theater. She wanted to see it and I thought I would be completely bored. I was wrong. From the beginning of the movie you are drawn in and cant help but fall in love with all the characters. Spoiler alert....have kleenex with you when you watch this movie. No matter how many times I have seen this movie, I still cry! You will love this movie!!

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.
