MOVIE REVIEW : Where the Wild Things Are


WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE

Directed by Spike Jonze

Starring Max Records and James Gandolifini

PLOT

An adaptation of Maurice Sendak's classic children's story, where Max, a disobedient little boy sent to bed without his supper, creates his own world--a forest inhabited by ferocious wild creatures that crown Max as their ruler.

REVIEW

+ The Wild Things all looked great. +

+ Really makes you feel like a child again. +

+ I like the way that every creature seemed unique, but also represented one of Max's emotions. +

+ Had a lot of moments of greatness. +

+ Sucks you in, and often brings you to the edge of your seat. +

+ The story was wafer thin. +

- It all seemed a little... pointless. -

- Seemed to lack direction in some places, and actually got confusing with all the emotions and creatures bouncing off each other. -

- The music was a bit naff. -

- Unfortunately it had the problem of "I know this story already". -

BEST MOMENT

When Carol turns on Max, it actually had me on the edge of my seat. It would be terrifying for young kids.

MY RATING
