Yep it sure was.

They should not have advertised it falsely, but since the audiences were going for LOTR, Harry Potter and Eragon type movies...I can see where the producers were going with it.

Yet, all they had to do was advertise the book (or the TV movie of the 80s). That would ve given them much better results, critically AND at the box office, both.

For such a strong movie...it was indeed a cheap gimmick.

Bridge to Terabithia is also based on a classic book. I urge people to go back and read the book.

Crappy? Then I would guess Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown and Reservoir Dogs would be pretty low in your books, Freak.;)

Welcome to the Quentin Tarantino style of movie-making.:cool:
