Alicia I love this movie so much

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

lcappa I walked out of this mess. I can't believe anyone can sit through this movie. It was so boring, no focus don't waste your time.

eagandersongil "Where the Wild" has a very striking beginning, not only for those who has a child alone, but also so that was a brother or older sister who neglected her brother or father who can not give the necessary attention to child (a), it really grabs the viewer, much also for the great performance of Max Records, we all knew that the film it was not solely that, but he had an adventure behind, although at some point the message that the film passes is confused, Spike Jonze script is linear, photography of the film is great, as the characterizations of the monsters as fear and at the same time not really are great, as the soundtrack is also good mixing children's songs the melancholic, "Where the Wild Things are" is a film average to good, but it is beautiful to see, shows the world's view of a child without friends, about friendship, about the importance of family residence, and technically it it is also good (do not understand why there are so many negative reviews), is not a children's film is a film for you help learn how to interpret all the feelings that they have, do not watch "Where the monsters live" hoping to have a cinematic experience or a life lesson, watch for fun and have a different view about people, their relationships and the world.Forgive my English by google translator.

katheliz Huggo's review on the home page starts telling the story halfway through, ignoring Max's desperate unhappiness about his parents' split, his wish to be acknowledged by his mother and sister, his lack of friends, and his fear that his world is splintering and the sun will die. Of course Max is acting out. Wouldn't you? The beasts he encounters are each a fraction of Max's conflicted feelings - love, loss, desertion, need for friends, anger - and themselves behave like both children and adults. The voices are marvelously done. As at least one reviewer discovered, this isn't a movie for little children. I scored it a 10 for being an intelligent movie for adults. If you have little kiddies, continue reading the book to them.

happy_hangman To be honest, I'm not sure why I didn't go to see this when it was released...after all, it has Lauren Ambrose in it, and I have a weakness for that glorious creature. Loved it. First-off, it is visually delightful, mixing stark realism with absurdist fantasy as only someone like Joze (and Zendak, of course), who understands the chaos-logic counterpoint childhood fantasy and real-world comprehension (the way kids rationalise experience through play) can manage. The puppetry (the 21st-century equivalent of 'H.R.Pufnstuf', which delighted me as a kid) is excellent, the voicework by 'wild things' Forrest Whittaker, the mighty Chris Cooper, Ms Ambrose (sigh!) and the late James Gandolfini is exemplary
