• I started watching Bridge to Terabithia.  As a kid, I remember reading the book and immensly enjoying it.  However, the movie is just balls, I’m trying to watch at least one hour of it to give it a chance but it’s just not possible, I’m already too bored to finish it.  I cant, it’s just that bad, I hardly ever NOT finish a movie no matter how bad it is.  That’s happened, maybe like twice in my life.  And I usually watch 3-4 movies a week.

   

  What were they thinking?  This movie adaptation is horrifying.  It’s like, they turned the book into a movie, but it’s not really a movie so much as it is a soundtrack.  It’s just, songs, everywhere, singing and music and dancing all the time between motionless acting and bad CGI.  It’s an abomination of the senses.  It’s so fake in everything it does, it makes me sick to my stomach.  In every scene, I count so many problems, it’s as if I’m the only person who notices these things.  This film could have been great, but instead it just sucks.  What I dont understand is the overwhelmingly positive reviews that it got.

   

  This is a godforsaken movie, and I want my time back for watching it.  I didnt pay for it, since I illegally downloaded it, but I feel like they owe me something for the perfectly good hour of my life that they wasted.  I am dead serious.  Dont watch this movie, but please read the book.  The movie’s that bad, and the book’s that good.
