Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

cricketbat Spike Jonze took a beloved children's book and turned it into an emo-tastic snore-fest! While the special effects are undeniably good (the "wild things" look very organic and realistic), the story is completely watered down with overly dramatic and pointless plot points. Don't see the movie - just read the book again.

mounir maged Where the wild things are is directed by acclaimed film maker Spike Jonze, based on the novel by the same name. One must really admire the director's take on the novel, because it is truly beautiful, emotional and an intellectual study on the potent mindset of a child's psychology. What does that mean? Well, first let's look at what we got. We know that the kid, Max, is a hyperactive child with deep imagination. He always wants to play, but his mother and family have no time for him. And due to this, he creates an imaginary world where he interacts with imaginary beasts and desires to stay there forever. This is where people get heavily divisive: they complain for the lack of story. And in some respects, they are correct. The film in the beginning starts off traditionally as any movie, with introducing the characters, constructing the story and all that good stuff. It's when the child starts to go to the imaginary island that things get tricky. It's true that there is no story as in normal movies do, but then again, it doesn't need a story to tell. Think back when you were a lonely child, when you had no one but your own imagination. You probably created a world with your favorite characters to interact with. Now think of this: did your world had any plot story, or any sort of logic? Of course not. And this is exactly what the movie is, it is the boy interacting with his own world, telling his own story in his own unique way. He doesn't want to give you a plot, but for you to understand his emotions and what he is going through. It's his way of dealing with loneliness and understand things. In short, his world is run purely on emotion, and not logic. The child actor in this film is phenomenal. He gives an emotionally potent performance and you understand what he feels. This is also supported by beautiful direction from Spike Jonze, who clearly knew what he was supposed to do. The film is also beautifully as captivating as the writing, giving a very gritty and dark, but majestic world.The cinematography is also unbelievably well shot and focused. As for the music, both the musical numbers as well as the composed songs are very emotional and play their purpose when needed. It's a bold and risky movie that might not be for everyone, especially for young kids. If you want a typical movie with a flowing narrative then this is not for you. However, if you want a movie that dives deep into its characters in hope of understanding yourself, then this is the right film for you. a 10/10 masterpiece

Gibbers Siemon Depressing, confusing rubbish. The cinematography is lovely (although I will forever hate the "you're-part-of- the-scene" jerking and weaving camera technique), CG effects are stellar, and the actors absolutely deliver, but the storyline is from Mars. I'm going for a pun and referring to the Roman god, Mars, because this movie is at war with everything - the original story, imagination, adults, siblings, giving instead of always taking...! If you're not one hundred percent paying attention to Max, you're against him. I kept wondering who was this move made for? Who is the audience? It's certainly not the little kids who are introduced to this venerable story in library readings or by loving parents, other family or similar. I have loads of fond memories reading this to my eldest nephew because he loved nothing more than to wrestle and we had great times growling and howling as we read the book together and then ran and wrestled to our hearts' content. So how on earth this story was taken and made into the complex, depressing, socio-anthropological "remark" that it is and only made me think of the dreaded "Lord of the Flies," story... I don't know! Fortunately the DVD cost me only $5 and it's going into the trash. Not even going to donate it to some charity. Rubbish it is, into the rubbish it will go. P>S> The DVD extra having to do with getting a dog to bark and run was MUCH more fun and rewarding to watch. That bit felt more like the childhood the book captured - lost in a world separate from the real one, than the movie did.

jordanhulett1996 Maybe as a young child watching this film wouldn't really interest me but watching this as an adult, when I can really understand what the film is about makes me realize how amazing this film really is. The director of this film is a very talented man and he can truly create a beautiful story and image. This film has deep meaning about families and the troubles of living and just growing up in general. As someone who commonly lives in his mind most of the time I can actually relate to Max and how he imagines this world to escape but even his imagination isn't perfect. It brings warmth to my heart to see something as artistic and beautiful as this. As a fan of the original book as a child growing up and as an adult this story has brought comfort for many years and I'm happy it exist. It's sad it didn't do much better at the box office like it deserves. With newer films by the same director like Her which is also one of my favorites I think the directors future is going to be very, very successful.
