Bridge to Terabithia Reviews
This Was HORRID!!
My class read "Bridge" for a reading book. When we got to watch the movie in clas I thought that it was the worst movie EVER. I thought the acting was EXTREMELY terrible. They left out alot of things that make the story the way it is. They never even had a rope for the 2 to swing across to Terabithia on. [In the book Leslie says that the rope is the only way to get into Terabithia] They just use the branch that's there in the beggining. The branch, in the book, doesn't come in until the last chpter or 2. Another thing was that they cut out 2 of the sisters and Leslie looked like a boy way too much. I hated this movie. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON THIS PEICE OF JUNK!
Time for a remake...
I insist on this novel every spring with my Grade 5 students - a perfect book for reading aloud - jewel-like prose, great messages, palpable relationships. I'm grateful this film exists, since we get a good chance to compare such adaptations with originals. Both kid actors are adequate, often quite natural, occasionally stilted. A strong sense of poignancy never quite evolves, however. Or poverty. Or personal conflict...I'd suggest a lush, more developed remake, motion-picture length, which includes scenes and characters not explored in this version. It would become sacred to English teachers across this continent. Just like the newest Secret Garden, or Narnia, perhaps.
