Title: Very disappointed, waste of time and money
Review: Disgusted is the term I would use for Bridge to Terabithia. I am tired of these "not so subtle" Christian morality intrusions into our films. The child's death is unnecessary to the story - her joy of living should have been celebrated. The author is the child of missionaries and originally planned to be one herself - this is made very obvious through the inclusion of a very awkward scene where the children go to church and then , out of the blue, have a strange, disturbing discussion regarding the nature of religious beliefs. The trailers and the film poster were very misleading - very little magic in this film. The film was slow, the lovely dips into the fantasy world were infrequent and not fully explored or explained. It cost us over 50 dollars to go to this movie (with babysitter for baby, etc.) and I feel very very cheated...(I will say that the two main child actors were delightful, especially condisering the horrendous screenplay)
Is the review positive or negative?
