It was dark, but my son and I enjoyed it. I did not find the monsters scary. In fact, by the end I found myself forgetting they weren't real creatures. In my opinion this movie in not suitable for small children. Completely gratuitous violence through-out. Terrible message. The book is cute and I am a fan of it and its message that teaches a young boy to try to vent his anger positively through fantasy. The movie, although well done in some ways, is completely wrong for small children. Spike Jones (director) simply was not careful enough in how he portrayed the story on-screen. He has turned the story into a rather morbid depiction of an unhappy boy and a bunch of even more unhappy monsters who partake in violence and frustration through-out the movie. Nowhere do we get the sense that the boy has learned anything by the end of it. Rather, b Fantastic! Beautiful imagery, lovable characters. Eggers and Jonze did A LOT with a very short book. This movie was in many ways the sort that makes you think. Less entertainment, more meditation. I enjoyed it in a very serene way. it's great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This movie was not what I had expected. ACTION, FANTASY, DRAMA, ADVENTURE, and a DARKER TONE! Just what WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE needs to entertain everybody, including ADULTS! |
