I went to see this movie today i had seen trailers of it ages ago and really wanted to see it. it is an odd movie with no clear story it was enjoyable though for someone who likes going into magical worlds with no real magic and someone with an imagination. i enjoyed it though probably wont watch it again bits but not the whole movie but i think people should see it once.

I went to see this film with the rest of my family which includes 4 children by the end 2 of them were crying not because it was sad but because they were scared of the monster with anger issues (stupid character idea for a kids film) The book was great the family loved it but was not long enough to make a film out of. I was dissapointed as was the rest of my family was a waste of my money even a pound each for the kids club!!
NEVER AGAIN!!!

I have never read the book but i wanted to see Where The Wild Things Are, thinking i might enjoy it. Turns out i didn't really enjoy it at all and i give it two stars only because the young boy who played Max was a good actor. I didn't understand the film and i thought it was very werid, not sure how people could be moved to tears by it.. more like bored to tears. Not a good movie.
