Bridge to Terabithia?

I read the book in sixth grade, and it was the first book that ever made me cry. And by cry, I mean sob.

SO, my question is, is it worth seeing if I loved the book? Or will it just make me angry?

jimbunny:
It might just make you angry. Not so much from inaccuracy as from underachievement, though. Or, somehow, lower your expectations.

Yeah, my class read it in the fifth grade.  We went one chapter at a time, aloud in class.  I bought my own copy just to read ahead.

I'm very ambivalent about the movie.  I've heard good things, but the CGI overload just rubs me the wrong way.  The story just doesn't need it; the fantasy-world itself was never the point.

Thicket:
yes i too have read message boards on imdb and many say that it is not at all like Narnia....this is funny for in The Chronicles of Narnia The Silver Chair(book) Teribithia is the name of a small island i suggest people read the book. (btw i registered about 3 minutes ago....i like to get active :-))

I am worshipping you so hard at this moment. No one else seems to have realised this!

I loved this film, frankly. Just got home from seeing it about an hour ago, and it was the first film in a long time that mad me cry. In fact I'm pretty sure the people sat behind us cried too, and I know my dad did. Also it managed not to have the tacky "aww aren't they cute, girl and boy are friends, let's make them fall in love!" thing that films seem to like.

There were a couple of places where I knew exactly what was going to happen (not the big one though, I don't think anyone was expecting that) but this was probably the first film ever where predictabiility was a good thing. I liked the fact that I knew what things symbolised.

The opening felt a bit awkward. I knew that it would get better, because it always works like that in Disney children films, IMO. But when it got going, it was very good. And I loved the youngest sister's name!
