The DVD of this family film features extras including documentaries and AnnaSophia Robb music video. Animation master Gabor Csupo directs his first live-action film in this adaptation of the novel The Bridge to Terabithia, by Katherine Paterson, whose son David co-wrote the screenplay and serves as a producer. Jess (Josh Hutcherson) is misunderstood. Despite Jess' talents as an artist, the school bullies pick on him, his father (Robert Patrick) belittles his dreams, and his four sisters invade his space in the family's cramped house. Jess' bleak world changes when Leslie (Annasophia Robb) moves into the house next door. Bright, creative and outspoken, Leslie also finds herself an outsider in their school. Soon the two are thick as thieves, spending their after school hours exploring the woods beyond their backyards and on the others side of a creek, which Leslie deems the kingdom of Terabithia. Here, they create their own magical world, complete with a Dark Master and his minions, dragonfly soldiers, giant trolls and a treehouse fortress. In Terabithia, the two friends let their imaginations run wild and control their destiny, far away from school bullies and the pressures of adolescence.
Hutcherson and Robb are well cast as Jess and Leslie in this coming-of-age tale. Hutcherson handles both the melancholy intensity and unbridled joy of his character beautifully, and Robb's smile and charisma are infectious. Zooey Deschanel also stars as Miss Edmunds, the music teacher who befriends Jess. Parents should read the book or learn more about the story before taking young children to see this film, as the story includes not only some scary creatures, but also the death of a young person. Terabithia and its creatures are created by WETA Digital LTD, the same company that did the effects for the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy and KING KONG.

Bridge To Terabithia Video Bridge To Terabithia Movie Review Average Rating: (3 out of 5 stars)   Ruined the book.....
Once again a movie that crushed the book. I was really expecting so much more from it. I did laugh & I did cry, but some things were just missing. There wasn't a whole lot of storyline in "Terabithia". The characters were cute, but not exactly how I pictured them either. It would be cute for kids thou, with all the imagination & friendships.

 Pretty Good
I wish I had read the book first but the movie is quite good, highlighting some of the frustrations of childhood and growing up. The little girl dying freaked us all out but I understood the meaning, eventually. I'll admit the trailers were VERY mis-leading. I expected more creatures and such. I would still recommend owning it.

Inappropriate for young children
I bought this thinking it would be a wonderful fantasy movie for my 5 year old son.
While it is a decent movie, there is not much in the way of imaginary creatures or the fantasy themes we were expecting.
Also, it deals with a serious and dark issue which really surprised us, and we didn't want our 5 yo son to be exposed to.

This review is for a different format. Good Movie
This movie was very good. Not what the previews lead you to believe and not at all what I expected but still a good movie. You dont see much animations until the very ending, much like mentioned in the previous reviews. It is also very sad, that last post just totally gave away why so you might want to skip over it if you dont want to know what happens in it before you watch it. Overall I thought it was a nice movie and worth buying.

This review is for a different format.  Excellent family entertainment
I'll admit it, I almost lost it at the end when the full scope of Terabithia materialized and the inhabitants assembled to greet Jess and his sister as they crossed the bridge. This is a beautifully crafted movie which should be equally entertaining to both kids and adults. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for your family viewing! I'm going to buy a second copy and archive it unopened for my grandchildren.

Seeking respite from his fate with Davy Jones, Jack enlists the aid of Tia Dalma (Naomie Harris), a practitioner of the supernatural, in an effort to locate the Dead Man's Chest that supposedly contains Jones's still-beating heart. Whoever possesses the heart controls Jones, and thereby controls the seas. And so the adventure continues as Jack, Will, and the Black Pearl crew track down the Flying Dutchman in search of redemption. This rollicking summer adventure, directed by Gore Verbinski (THE WEATHER MAN, THE RING), features multiple intersecting storylines, unique stunts, and a pithy script that lets each main character shine, while the costumes and makeup for Jones and his sea creature crew are nothing short of spectacular.
This film stars Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, and Keira Knightley. Extras include bloopers and writers' audio commentaries.

British director Christopher Nolan's (BATMAN BEGINS) eclectic resume gains another interesting entry with THE PRESTIGE. The basic plot, which concerns the rivalry between two magicians in early 20th-century London, closely resembles a fellow 2006 movie--Edward Norton's THE ILLUSIONIST--and the two films are sure to be closely compared. In Nolan's film, Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale bring the characters of Robert Angier and Alfred Bordon to life. Robert and Alfred were young magician apprentices together, but became bitter rivals as their careers began to shape their adult lives and a terrible accident claimed the life of Robert's wife. In the subsequent years Robert has become wildly jealous of Alfred's superior talents, so in a last ditch attempt to steal some artistic ground he sends his assistant, Olivia (Scarlett Johansson), to infiltrate his rival's lair and steal the secret to a spectacular trick called "The Transported Man."
