Takes your breath away, literally

I didn't watch the trailer, but just looking at the box art made me believe this was going to be a movie set mostly in a fantasy world, so at first I was a little disappointed but quickly got over it.

The cast and acting were just great, the kids did a really amazing job, the girl that played Leslie will have a good career ahead of her, she was magical in this movie. The story was well told and boy oh boy, I couldn't stop tearing up all through the last 25 minutes, I was even asking myself "wtf is wrong with you man?" I guess some of the parts hit close to home.

As for the most emotional part of the movie, well I don't have any children myself so I can't really comment on the things some of you are complaining about. I would think ages 7 or 8 and up would be fine for this movie, my nieces are around that age and I give them a lot more credit than they are given. I guess it depends on how mature your child is.

Overall 4 stars, I enjoyed it a lot and I didn't think a movie like this (without tons of magic and fantasy) could easily grip me like it did.

Spoiler alert!!! Tell your children what to expect!

Don't read this unless you don't mind knowing the trajedy that happens in this movie....
I just watched this with my family--husband and three boys ages 10, 7, and 5. I absolutely loved it. It is full of beautiful life lessons. It shows in a profound way the power of imagination, and that magical thinking in children is very healthy and helps them make sense of their world and work through issues and difficulties. I was touched by so many things. One was when we saw the face of the giant. I think that was profound.
For parents reading this and wondering if it would be too sad for their children, I think they should know what happens. My oldest son had been told at school that the girl dies. I told my kids it would be sad, and that the girl dies and that it is just a movie telling a story. I think this helped VERY much. If we had been surprised by the death, which was shocking even though I knew it was eventually going to happen, it would have been very upseting. My boys were fine and enjoyed the movie. I am grateful for the beautiful lessons they saw illustrated. Yes, it is sad. But so is life. And for so, so many children life is full of trajedy. In some cities in this country eighty percent of adolescents have experienced severe violence or family trajedy. We need to get real. This movie isn't to traumatize--it's to help show how the human spirit can overcome trajedy. ALSO, it is important to know that this movie is not at all violent. The make believe scenes are very mild, and even fun. The shadows or creatures represent things that are scarey for the children in their lives, and they conquer them! Also, the commercials for this movie misrepresented its genre, I think. This is not a movie FILLED with the fast action make believe. That is a very small part of the movie. This is a thinking movie about human relationships and emotion.
This is one of the best movies I've ever seen!!!

Bridge to Terabithia - Wanting More.

The Lead into Terabithia was what I was expecting. I was expecting more action from being within Terabithia. The Giants, and other imagined characters. I wanted more imagination from the kids. More terabithian landscape.

Deserves the Oscar for Best Feel Good Movie

Don't hold your breathe for that nomination, because the category doesn't exist and how sad for the awards ceremony that there is probably an award for best assistant on set. I was really surprised by this film considering the misleading marketing of this film. By the way it begins though, I was saying, "Man, what did I get myself into?" I stuck through it, thinking that I had rented some High School Musical, but then was drawn by the energy of the children acting superbly. This movie all of the sudden pulls the trigger on you and I was left flacid, weak, and sobbing. I never in my wildest dreams would have guessed it. I mean, By the cover of this thing I was hoping for some uppity Chronicles of Narnia or something. I had no idea I was in for some well acted movie that operates on multiple levels, yet never loses sight of its simplistic yet pure messege. This movie was more like Some Robert Redford Film back in the days when he tackled depressed adolescents coping with torturous loss. This movie is an infusion, a gratifying injection of tenacious feel goodness. Thank God that I stumbled upon this, and NO thanks to marketing.
