The Good:
Both Anna-Sophia Robb and Josh Hutcherson were excellent, which was refreshing since some child actors can just be over the top.
The contrast between real elementary/middle school life and the battles of the fantasy world of Terabithia were executed perfectly.
The Bad:
The effects were kind of "meh" - not terrible, but nothing exciting either. In the realm of the first installment of Harry Potter which was also unimpressive.
I would like for the contrast between the two families to have been more clearly illustrated. I think you were given the impression that the girl's family was better even though they almost completely ignored her when they were writing.
All in all:
A fun ride if nothing else. I did think the story was a little too intensely sad at parts for young children which was part of the crowd toward which the film was marketed.
