Great story, fantastic cast. Rent this!

Rating: ★★★★½

Not as good as the first one. The story isn’t told as well as in the previous film, they skip through the events quite quickly and it all seems a bit rushed. Still, the cinematography, sets and costumes are fantastic.

I’d go with the first if you haven’t seen either.

Rating: ★★★☆☆

I probably should rate this higher but I thought the characters could have been more interwoven than they were. Other than that, great film. Lots of twists, fantastic cast.

Rating: ★★★½☆

Bridge To Terabithia

17 February 2008

By the look of the cover, I thought this film was going to be squarely in the Jumanji/Hook camp; some kids find a hidden bridge to a magic world, hilarity and adventure entail.

Not at all. There is very much more to this film than I initially thought, and without giving anything away I would highly recommend you rent it.

Rating: ★★★★☆
