Where the Wild Things Are
empathized with the character
I remembered how I protected my little brother and how I never left him home alone because I did not want him to be lonely. I now have a son who is sensitive, creative, and a loner in some way like max. He cried several times feeling sadness, loneliness and also joy of coming back together as Max returns home. My husband also expressed deeply stirred emotion growing up in a broken home experiencing many moments of loneliness or lack of secure figures in life or longing for a fatherly protector for his world. He expressed the world with the wild things like a world without the spiritual guidance or true belief system to keep order. All of us came out with teary eyes feeling something within our hearts that we identify with someone in the film. I wished that I saw the movies when I was younger struggling in my family.

I also decided to go with my family to see a movie on this cold and rainy Saturday afternoon. We left with a poor message and bad modeling. In the book, Max goes to his imaginary land IN HIS ROOM. His room turns into a jungle. In the movie, he runs away. Was that really necessary? Biting his mother? We were going to leave, but were hoping for some sort of message or lesson in the end to turn the whole thing around. But, it never came. How disappointing.

Failure
Really? You must be a deep thinker because this movie really sucked.

Dismal would be a compliment
Gerard Butler is one of my favorite actors and his talents are thoroughly wasted in this mindless film which attempts to exalt torture porn and pure shock value. Might as well have called this "Saw VII w/ a twist". The movie is implausible, the acting borderline, the theme shoved down our throats and most of the "entertainment" comes from "gee who's he gonna kill next". But the real crime is that I had to PAY to watch this.

Where the Wild Things Are
Needs more!
This movie lost out on the pivotal moment of Max geting sent to his room without supper. Simple plot of a 20 page book, serious mistake to mess with the perfection of the book. The Voice overs annoyed me as I never could get lost in the monster world because all I could picture was James Gandolfini standing behind a microphone in a studio. Soundtrack lacks balls and the movie plot never really gets going anywhere. I should have waited to see this one on DVD.

Very funny !
Very very funny. Hats off to Bill Murray for probably one on the funniest scenes I've seen in a long time! A good way to spend the day!

Terrible
Terrible movie. I would have walked out but was with a group. No plot, no climax. Poor film

Wish I could get my money back!
By far one of the worst movies my family and I have ever seen in a long time. After a wonderful meal with my family, we decided to see this movie which unfortunately ruined our digestion. For those who didn't read the book, in a nutshell, the movies message is if you are a bratty kid, you can bite your Mom and escape to your own world. And when you get back, your Mom will have chocolate cake waiting form you. I would not recommend this movie to anyone.
