Bridge to Terabithia

Some people might not understand what this movie is about and the trailer and poster have been misleading everyone out there. You might think that this movie is similar to narnia where children enter into a world of fantasy and fight their way to retreive their kingdom. However this movie focus more on 2 children's psychological problems and their ability to create their own world of fantasy call Terabithia.

The main character, Jess is a boy who is abit of anti-social and kinda weak. He's always bullied by the 2 guys in his class and the grade 8 fat ger! He dare not fight but even his own younger sis was bullied. Jess was talented in drawing but his parent discourage it as they were poor.

Jess became open up when Leslie came to join the class. Leslie parent were fiction writers and spend most of their time in the study room writing hence Leslie was lonely most of the time. Leslie was a good writer like her parent.

Jess and Leslie quickly became good friends and they found a place of their own in the forest where one need to swing across the river with the rope which was dono hw many yrs old. They found a tree house and soon renovated it and call their very own home. Leslie was veri good in imagining things and soon they could see their very own world of fantasy.... with trolls, dragonfly warriors, dark master etc.

Each time they went to Terabithia, they had many strange encounters and they vowed to free all creature from the dark master. Soon, Leslie die while swing the rope across. Jess became very sad however he still sense her present around. After many tots, he decided to build a bridge across to Terabithia to make it safe for his sis to cross......

KK kinda slow movie. No actions. However, its a very sad story. Shouldn't expect a lot. Not worth the weekend price!!! D/L or DVDs....

Rating: 3/5
