Bridge to Terabithia [Blu-ray]

A horror movie is one thing but this is a horror movie disguised as a family movie. Dont get me wrong, there is no violence whatsoever in this movie, but horror nonetheless. I just dont get it. sorry. Some will argue that the story is a valuable teaching to young viewers on how to handle the death of a loved one. True, young people will eventually need to face that, but not this way! Let it happen when it happens in real life so that they are not alone in their hurting. Maybe the book handled the outcome more sensitively, I dont know, didnt read it, but I do know the movie used shock tactics to its fullest. And Im sure there are plenty of viewers who enjoyed that but there are also at least as many people like me, I think most of them just dont talk about it. For younger viewers who may have been traumatized by this tragedy, watch Because of Winn-Dixie (also starring AnnaSophia Robb) to help lift their spirits back up.

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.

My students watched the movie in increments as we read the novel. They enjoyed both the novel and the the movie. They noticed where the movie stayed true to the novel, shifted the order of events, put dialogue in different characters mouths, and the imagination that went into making Jess drawings come to life. Seeing the movie as we read increased student understanding and involvement as measured by the depth of the questions they asked and the discussions that followed. Delivery of the DVD was on time as promised and arrived in excellent condition. It was a good experience all around.

Sweet story. Book was way better though

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

Great movie. Came in on time.

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 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.

I watched this film with my 8 year old grandchild and was so surprised by his emotional response towards the end. I wont say more as I dont want to ruin it if you havent seen it. A wonderful film about bullying, friendship, and imagination for children. It shows how adults can be totally oblivious to the needs of their children and how kids can work out their problems on their own. Highly recommend this for any child 8 or over and should be watched with an adult as it inspires a great conversation

Great movie..
