Where the Wild Things Are Reviews and Ratings

    i really want to see the movie.. the trailer i great!!!
  • December 7, 2009
    Kudos to Jonze for attempting to adapt such a story, and in many ways he achieves it well, if not perfectly. Its definatly worth seeing even for the curiousity factor, and being the most unique cinema experience in a long time, its certainly not one you're likely to forgot easily...( read more) either.
  • December 5, 2009
    Heard it was true to the book ;)
  • December 4, 2009
    I really can't wait to see this, it looks utterly magical.

    I attended an early screening with my friends. But this did not prepare us for the moody, almost downbeat atmosphere through most of the film, nor the sense of immediacy and almost hyper-realism combined with astoundingly fanciful imagery. It is such an odd movie! And yet, when i...( read more)t was over, we turned to each other smiling a melancholy smile and said, "I loved it." The expansion of the tiny story into a feature-length film is so subtle that you barely sense it happening. There isn't an artificial new plot laid over the bones of the original -- it's simply expanded at every turn and very gently stretched out to feature length. The voice performances are wonderful, and the costumes are magnificent, as is the one major visual addition to the material (which I won't give away). Enjoy!

    I love reading this book to the kids I loved the film too
  • December 4, 2009
    I like the movie a lot. but they added so much to the 21 paged book that it wasn't really that same. and the only line they kept was not that significant.
  • December 4, 2009
    Waited for this film to come to the big screen. Spike directed this brilliantly with the cinematography and storyline was very good too however young kids might be frighten by it. Quite dark in some scenes and drama was pretty effective. Max Records did a great acting performance...( read more) along side James Gandolfini and everyone else. Costumes looked cool and overall better than expected. Must see.
  • December 3, 2009
    A fantastic film with wonderful characters. It loses momentum towards the end of the second act and beyond.
  • December 3, 2009
    When I first heard that a movie was being made based on the classic children's book 'Where the Wild Things Are' I thought to myself "how are they going to adapt such a small book into a full-length feature fim?" and "does this movie really need to be made?" Well now that I've see...( read more)n it, I think it was...strange. But cute. Spike Jonze is one of the great directors of our time after directing films like 'Being John Malkovich' and 'Adaptation'. Here, he is able to recreate the imaginative and creative creatures from the book using the Jim Henson workshop. The look amazing. You just can't take your eyes off them. And the acting from Max Records is excellent as he shows he has natural acting skills.

  • December 2, 2009
    Not very easy to understand. My friend & I got totally confused for the better part of the movie, and the ending doesnt' resolve anything...weird.

  • November 30, 2009
    A little on the dark side and a strange take on the story book, but still really great. The speacial effects were phenomenal. This isn't a movie you want to take the young ones to. It can be a little scary at times.

    "Happiness isn't always the best way to be happy."

    Didn't love it, didn't hate it; I'm somewhere down the middle. A visually arresting showcase, however, I didn't receive the emotional impact that I had hope for. Perhaps my excitement for this movie got the better o...( read more)f me, but I wanted to feel more than what this film's thin narrative gave.
  • November 29, 2009
    A superb family film that never insults the audiences intellegence. Awesome break through performance by Max Records who I see becoming a big star (if he doesn't O'D too young:P) and James Gandolfini is awesome as always. Beautiful cinematography, an awesome soundtrack and supris...( read more)ingly believable film. Spinke Jonze gets better with every movie!! Only complanint would be that it is a tad underwhelming and slow in the middle.
  • November 29, 2009
    it was ok showed the worth of family which is irreplacable but depressing
    not my thing
  • November 29, 2009
    I really enjoyed this movie. If you like Jim Henson creatures in movies then this is a must see. A great job done on a movie with little source material to work upon. Highly recommended.

    The chaos and difficulty to be centered in on a urge to build a fort. Conveys how quick someone's eye can get poked out during the fun.
    super libre
  • November 29, 2009
    Entertaining but kinda dark for a movie perceived as a children's story. I like the book better.

    It's an alright movie. I think they did a good job capturing what kind of things a little boy likes to do for fun.
  • November 28, 2009
    Ah! The book from my childhood...Maurice Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are". Max Records was an excellent choice to play the lead role of "Max". I applaud James Gandolfini for taking on the role of "Carol"...the charismatic Wild Thing who takes interest in Max from the start. I...( read more) could have given this movie a higher rating but I wasn't satisfied with the character development of the Wild Things. I found their personalities very intriguing and I wanted to know what made them tick a little bit more. But then again...this was all imagination and when we enter the world of imagination...it is what it is. We can either reject it or accept it.
  • November 28, 2009
    very very nice moves
  • November 27, 2009
    This film reminds me of the old labrynth film with david bowey. lol
  • November 27, 2009
    Surprisingly joyless.
  • November 26, 2009
    i'm really interested to see this movie
  • November 26, 2009
    very good in a cinematic sense, but i really didn't like it. it was kind of depressing and the ending was blunt and pointless. they ruined the book, do over please.
  • November 26, 2009
    i think it will be really good
    i mean its hardly a 20 page book
  • November 26, 2009
    Very Deep and a great movie! despite the PG rating, kids under 8 shouldnt see this movie. There are a few profanities and some scenes that can be startling or frightnening to younger kids...

    OK movie. I wouldn't care to see it again. Very good performance from the kid who starred in this movie.
  • November 26, 2009
    Let me begin by saying I have never read the children's book. The movie is too dark for young children. I thought the kid in the movie was just a spoiled brat who lies to get his way. The monsters proved more interesting, but they also could be concerned with petty ideas too.
  • November 25, 2009
    i'm sorry but i dont believe this movie is for kids,i didnt like it and i didnt enjoy it..great costumes and soundtrack and good acting by the kid but story wise this was too...dysfunctinal.
