WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE
Directed by Spike Jonze

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.
