“Bridge to Terabithia” is a Lying Sack of Crap

If you’ve seen the commercials for the Disney movie “The Bridge to Terabithia”, you were probably like me, and thought it was another big-budget sci-fi/fantasy movie ala “The Chronicles of Narnia” and the “Lord of the Rings” films. But surprise! It’s not. Not by a long shot. According to various published reports, all that super duper fantasy CGI scene you saw in the trailer? (The ONLY thing you saw in the trailer?) That all takes place in the heads of the kids (in their imaginations) and makes up about 10 minutes of the whole nearly 2 hour movie, and only comes at the very end.

Anyone who has already read the book by Katherine Paterson, from which the movie is based, already knows about the misleading ad campaign, but the rest of the public will have been hoodwinked into thinking the film is all like that.

And worst of all? Apparently the film is a really good coming-of-age story, and deserves to be seen. The people who made the movie are apparently not soul-sucking PR douche bags like the guys who are selling the film, because they have disavowed the commercials.

You can read about it here.

Here’s the lying sack of crap of a trailer for the movie, and (not all that lying crap) stills from it below:
