Shrain, I agree with you. I was hesitant to see this movie because of the differnce in the way I remember the book, and the way the ads portray the movie. However, I did see it and thoroughly enjoyed it. The ads are misleading--they are trying to tie into the popularity of fantasy movies. The main story was much as it was in the book, the relationship of the two kids. The movie makes it very clear that Terabithia is a make-believe world to serve as their escape from the hardships of their real lives. The children actors give spot-on performances, so I felt myself being sucked right into the story.
I did go see this movie by myself, though, because I knew my kids would snicker at me when I started crying, but I would heartily recommend this movie.
