Bridge to Terabithia

Directed by Hungarian Gabor Csupo, starring The Reaping's AnnaSophia Robb, Josh Hutcherson and Zooey Deschanel. From the people who brought you The Chronicles of Narnia.. (that's what the trailer said, right?)

Leslie Burke was a new girl in school, her family just moved to Josh's neighborhood. A little eccentric and tough, Leslie stood out from the other students. She liked to write fairytales and able to 'escape' her reality and immerse into her own imaginary world. Soon, Leslie and Josh became best friends. Everyday after school they would go to their 'place', in the woods near their home, and live in their imaginary 'kingdom', fighting weird animals that dared to threat their kingdom, Terabithia. All those things made them forget about the real world and only care about their imaginary life.

I thought it was gonna be Narnia, you know? With the whole special effects, grand battle scenes, kingdoms, etc. Turned out it was.. well.. far from that. Very little special effects, little story, little plot and my friend kept screaming "My Girl! This is absolutely My Girl!" which could be right. ;p The movie was slow-paced and to tell you the truth, I didn't really like it. The only good point is probably.. keep your mind wide open.

5 / 10.

SPOILERS
By the way, the poster? A trick. A lie. No such scene. And don't be fooled by the trailer.
