I saw the new film and some clips of the old one, and I have to agree with you. why does everyone like the new film? because it has fancy special effects and incredibly pretty actors that don't even look like eleven. I have to admit I probably would find watching the old one less interesting simply because there's no pretty girl to look at. the new perfect image of everything. and yes,

So yeah, it's me again. Any way I think you are right. I did watch the special features just to let you know and it is a good children's book. They're both good...and to tell you, my parents hate that movie because of how boring they think it is. I tried to explain to them that it carries out a good message of friendship, imagination, and plain old life. It's the reality of children. If I read

You don't think it's right? Perhaps you missed the part where this is my blog, therefore my opinion. (And it's spelled out at the top of each page!) The difference between you and me is that I do articulate the reasons for my opinions.

You disagree. Well enough. I certainly don't say you're wrong for liking what you like. Am I biased? Of course! This isn't a poll, nor a

i dont think its right to say that the old one is the best based on your personal opinion which is almost compleatly biased. personaly ive read both the book and seen both the movies. the first movie version ive seen was the 1985 version and i personaly think the new one was better! the older one wasnt as accurate, and a little cheesy, but it was still good and i would watch it, but in the new

Well, on your recommendation I actually did get the Disney version on DVD and watch it. Having done so, I stand by everything I said in the original post except the admonishment not to see it. Sure, see it if you don't mind being diminished by the experience.

None of what they added was necessary, and I do believe it detracts seriously from the film. So seriously, in fact, that you seem

Okay, I saw the old and new Bridge to Terabithia and I need to say the new one is way better. So they do add creatures in it...so what? It's what kids see in imagination! The old one isn't accurate at all. The new one is. In the book they got to Terabithia by swinging on a rope, not crossing a tree bridge. In the new movie, they followed that. Also, Leslie died by the rope breaking and she
