Bridge to Terabithia anyone seen it or read the book?

I never read the book. But seen the movie recently on Starz.

I gotta say the trailers are very misleading. It's makes it look like a some kind Narnia movie.

But it's really not. I checked it because something really tragic happens in the book and the movie.

And for a Disney movie. I very surprised they mention Hell and question religion.

None the less it's one of those movies. That are surprisingly good.

I read the book many many years ago. From what I remember the end is very tragic indeed. I'm suprised Disney kept that in the film.

I had never read the book, but I saw the movie some time ago. I was indeed surprised, and to be honest I didn't really expect it. I enjoyed the film, though.

My daughter read the book then we watched it on tv. i enjoyed the movie.

Having read the book, I thought the trailers were misleading, too. They make it look like, yeah, some kind of kids adventure story.

The book is good, especially for not reading like a children's book. It doesn't talk down to children (in my opinion) in the language, or tone, or in the concepts or situations presented to the reader. I'm skeptical that any movie adaptation would take the same approach with its young audience.

As a bit of trivia, the author claims that the story was inspired by the real-life friendship of her young son and a classmate, whose relationship took a similar course as in the book.

If you remember it as anything other than a tragedy, you're probably thinking of a different book.

Hm. I must say your.

Descriptions of the film.

Bafflingly structured though they may be make me.

Curious.

I think I'll see.

It.

I think that was Tuck Everlasting. I read them both the same year of school, so they occupy the same sort of place in my head, too.

Typos

and I'm
lazy at writting.

I is not a writter of a book.

I have the bluray and it is not even out of the plastic. I fail at movies

I read the book in 5th grade. We had to read books in groups and I remember that no one else read the book. I told them the end so we would get a good score on the report.

The book does have a tragic end but I will not tell.

I remember thinking that the book was boring. I did not like it.

I read the book when I was young. I won't lie. It made me cry.

I also saw the movie. It didn't make me cry. But, it was good nonetheless.

So, I saw this thread and then noticed that Bridge to Terabithia was on demand, so I decided to check it out.

(spoilers below, in case the 'spoilers' tag didn't give that away)

Bean and I both read that book as kids. I think I'd be more disturbed by it now than I was then.

I cried like a freaking baby

I felt as though I was tricked into seeing it. I absolutely detest sad films and never watch them if I know they're sad in advance. The previews made it look like a cross between Narnia and The Neverending Story. Liars!!!!

Having said all that, it was a really, really good movie. Not one that I would ever watch again though.

My class was forced to read it in 5th grade and I bawled. I remember it being a great read and more "adult" in it's content than other books at the time.

The trailer to the movie though looked lame and kind of pissed me off because it seemed to cheapen the whole idea. It would be like making "My Girl" into a Disney adventure.

I read the book when I was a kid. Actually, most the books I read as a kid usually ended that same way. They we're books recommended by my teachers....

I read the book two years ago. My friend Amy keeps in on her nightstand, waiting to be read at any moment.

I cried like a child (fitting), and thought it was quite good. I saw part of the movie the other day. I was not impressed.
